His life later took a very different direction. He embraced Islam, spent several years in prison and entered a new period of life far removed from the public career many associated with him.

WITH MUFTI USAMA EHSAN
A FREE 3-HOUR MASTERCLASS AND Q&A
WITH MUFTI USAMA EHSAN
You want to move forward financially.
But not by leaving your Islamic principles behind.
Join Mufti Usama Ehsan for one evening on money, modern finance and the questions Muslims need to think about before making important financial decisions.

17:00–20:00
Iman Senter · Haavard Martinsens vei 5, Oslo

A stronger financial future matters.
A home.
More security for your family.
Savings.
Investments.
The ability to grow what you have and plan further ahead.
But for a Muslim, "Does this make financial sense?" is not the only question.
There is another one:
"Is this really halal — and what actually makes it halal?"
That gets harder when modern finance is full of contracts, structures, financing models and products labelled "Islamic" or "Shariah-compliant".
You should not have to choose between financial ambition and taking your deen seriously.
Buying a home.
Financing something you need.
Saving for the future.
Thinking about investing.
Looking at an “Islamic” alternative and wondering what actually makes it different.
Trying to understand two scholars giving different answers to what sounds like the same financial question.
These are not abstract debates when your own money, family and future are involved.
And an Islamic label is not the same thing as understanding what you are signing up for.
The more important the financial decision, the more valuable it becomes to know what to look for before you move forward.
You do not need another hundred disconnected halal-or-haram answers.
You need to know what to look for when the next real financial decision is in front of you.
What matters in the structure?
What should make you pause and ask more questions?
What sits behind an “Islamic” or “Shariah-compliant” claim?
And when is it time to seek deeper qualified guidance?
One evening will not answer every financial question you will ever face.
But it can leave you better prepared for the next one.
LEAVE BETTER EQUIPPED TO:
• Know which Islamic questions deserve your attention.
• Look past the label and ask what sits behind it.
• Ask better questions before making major commitments.
• Know when to seek qualified guidance before you act.

Mufti Usama Ehsan combines advanced Islamic scholarship and ifta training with years of work inside Islamic finance.
He worked in Shariah Compliance at Bank Alfalah Islamic and later in Islamic financial product development at UBL Ameen. Today, he is Managing Partner at Safwa Advisory and serves in Shariah governance roles with Bank Alfalah Islamic and Funding Souq UAE.
Why does that matter?
Because he has worked inside the systems where Islamic financial products, structures and Shariah compliance are actually reviewed.
ISLAMIC SCHOLARSHIP + IFTA
SHARIAH COMPLIANCE
ISLAMIC PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
SHARIAH GOVERNANCE
He also trains Islamic-finance professionals — including commercial bank officers through NIBAF Pakistan.
A SUBJECT THAT CAN AFFECT YEARS OF FINANCIAL DECISIONS.
Some financial decisions stay with you for years.
Spending one evening learning from someone who has studied the Islamic rulings and worked inside Islamic finance is a small investment of time before the next important one.
Entry is completely free.
