Australia’s financial system is highly sophisticated, yet many Muslims have faced difficult compromises. Home ownership typically involved interest-based loans, while superannuation funds often invested in industries inconsistent with Islamic principles. As a result, many families were forced to choose between financial security and staying true to their faith.
This gap exists within Australia’s USD 4.3 trillion superannuation system, where Shariah-compliant options remain limited. Rising mortgage rates, reaching around 5.5% in late 2025, have further increased the challenge. Recognising this need, Md. Rokibul Islam founded Meezan Wealth in 2020 to provide trusted, Shariah-compliant solutions across home finance, superannuation, and investments.
His vision was grounded in three core values—trust, ethical integrity, and sustainable growth. The objective was not simply to create financial products, but to establish a platform where faith and financial well-being could coexist, while remaining committed to innovation and ethical finance.
Meezan Wealth’s super and investment solutions are supported by internationally recognised Shariah governance frameworks, including certification aligned with AAOIFI standards and advisory oversight from SRA Consulting in Malaysia.
In January 2026, the company was awarded the “Most Innovative Shariah-Compliant Financial Solutions Provider – Australia 2025” at the International Finance Awards. At the same ceremony, Founder and CEO Rokibul Islam was named Best “Emerging CEO – Islamic Finance – Australia 2025.”
These accolades reflect not only organisational achievement but also the emergence of Australia as a developing hub for Islamic Finance. Under Islam’s leadership, Meezan Wealth has established itself as a pioneer, building solutions that meet global compliance standards while serving local community needs.
Transforming Retirement Through Halal Superannuation
Superannuation has historically presented one of the most significant barriers for Muslim investors. Conventional funds often allocate capital to non-compliant sectors, leaving many individuals uncertain about their retirement savings.
Meezan Wealth addressed this gap by introducing Halal Superannuation through the APRA-regulated fund called Super Simplifier. All investments undergo rigorous screening by IdealRatings and are certified by the International Shariah Research Academy (ISRA), ensuring alignment with global Shariah standards.
And the company’s performance proved one fact: ethical investing need not come at the expense of returns. As of June 2025, Meezan Wealth’s “Islamic Ethical Growth Option” delivered 11.21%, while the longer-term strategies, including “Islamic Ethical Growth Plus,” achieved 11.32 % over three years. These outcomes reinforce the viability of Shariah-compliant investing as both principled and competitive.
“In addition to performance, members benefit from low-cost structures, flexible contribution options, and integrated optional insurance offerings, ensuring comprehensive financial security,” Meezan Wealth told International Finance.
Addressing The Home Finance Gap
Home ownership is essential for financial stability, yet traditional interest-based mortgages have long been a barrier for Muslims. Meezan Wealth addressed this by introducing Islamic home finance based on the globally recognised Ijarah model, which replaces interest with a transparent lease-to-own structure.
Clients hold the property title while repayments combine rental and equity components, with the rental portion decreasing as ownership grows.
Modern features such as offset accounts, redraw facilities, and flexible repayment options ensure these solutions meet the practical needs of Australian households. For many clients, this has enabled home ownership for the first time without compromising their values.
Building The Future Of Ethical Finance In Australia
More than representing the success of a single company, Meezan Wealth’s growth reflects the maturation of Islamic Finance within Australia. By providing integrated solutions across home finance, superannuation, and investments, the firm has created a comprehensive ecosystem previously unavailable to Muslim investors.
The company continues to expand its reach nationally, driven by a clear mission of empowering individuals and families to build wealth in a manner consistent with their values. As awareness grows and demand increases, Meezan Wealth is positioned to play a central role in shaping a more inclusive and ethical financial system.
The journey from struggle to solution is still unfolding. Yet Meezan Wealth’s progress demonstrates what is possible when financial innovation is guided by purpose. In doing so, it is helping redefine the future of finance in Australia, one where faith, ethics, and financial prosperity move forward together.
