ASBAB
أسباب
Two questions, before every entry.
Shariah-aware momentum research.For Muslim investors who do their own work.
Is the setup real — and is it permissible? Asbab builds the research tools that answer both, with the working shown.
Research and education for your own decisions — never a recommendation, never personalised.
Automated advisory approximation — not a fatwa or certification; verify independently.
More names read Unverified than any other verdict. That is a statement about our data coverage, not about the company — we would rather tell you we don’t know than guess in your favour.
In closed beta. Access is invite-only while we test with real money on real market days.
What you actually see
The words the terminal uses.
The actual vocabulary the terminal uses. Not a screenshot, not a mockup.

More names show ? than any other mark. It means we do not yet hold both ratio figures for that name: we gather those figures one name at a time, so ? reflects how far our evidence reaches, not a judgement about the company.

The product
Institutional Alpha System
The research terminal Asbab operates. Here is what it does today.
Reads the market’s state
A regime read and true relative-strength percentiles, computed across the whole universe rather than against a headline index.
Finds contraction
Volatility-contraction and coil patterns, detected on end-of-day data, graded rather than scored out loud.
Plans the entry
An entry level, an invalidation level, and the share count that follows from a risk budget you set yourself.
The analysis runs on end-of-day data. The intraday prices on the board are last-trade prices from a single exchange, not the consolidated tape, so they can differ from what your broker shows. Full-tape and streaming quotes are not included and are not on the near-term roadmap.
One product. We are not going to pretend it is three.
Asbab has one product: Institutional Alpha System, a research terminal, in closed beta.
You will not find a grid of tiles here for things we have not built, or a roadmap with dates we cannot keep. Every future line of work sits on one axis — what a Muslim investor needs in order to act with confidence — and when a second thing exists, this page will say two.
Who builds it
Two founders, one screen between them.
Asrar Mohiuddin
Founder · strategy and method
The methodology came first. Asrar works on the question of what separates a trade worth taking from one that merely looks like it — the stage of the market, the quality of the base, the behaviour of volume. Asbab exists to put that discipline in front of people who were never handed it.
Sohaib Mohiuddin
Founder · engineering
Sohaib built the system and trades with it every market day, which is the reason it is honest: a shortcut would cost him first. What he wants from Asbab is an investor anywhere — Toronto, London, Kuala Lumpur — opening one screen in the morning and understanding exactly what they are looking at.
The founders trade this system on their own accounts every market day and may hold positions in any security it surfaces. We publish general-audience research; we do not tell anyone what to do with it.
The direction
What we are building toward
The intent is to make it ordinary for a Muslim investor to check both questions in the same place, in the same minute, without taking anyone’s word for it.
We are not naming what comes next and we are not putting a date on it. When something ships, it appears above this line as a thing that exists.
Plainly
What this is not
Not a certification.
The Shariah screen is an automated advisory approximation — not a fatwa, not an endorsement, and not a substitute for your own check or your own scholar.
Not complete.
More names read Unverified than any other verdict. That is a statement about our data coverage, not about the company — we would rather tell you we don’t know than guess in your favour.
Not advice.
Nothing here is a recommendation, nothing is tailored to you, and no adviser-client relationship is created by reading it.
Not real-time.
End-of-day analysis, single-exchange intraday prices, no consolidated tape.
