Yasaar Limited set up in the UK in 1998. It is the first Shariah compliances services company that is continually developing within the Islamic Finance sphere. In 2005 it became the first Shariah compliance services company to be registered in the Dubai International Financial Centre.

The company is growing and developing in the Islamic finance sector. In 2006 it entered into partnership with FTSE, the Global index company to develop a series of Shariah compliant indexes.

 In 2008 it developed its Media division, Yasaar Media,  which was launched in January 2009.

The evolution has been in tandem with the growth of the Islamic finance sector and as opportunities were seen or created by us we have risen to the challenge all along. The areas now being contemplated and hence the development into a group of companies, include Islamic market intelligence capability, Shariah audit, Corporate services and others.

Some of our clients have been with us since the outset and still continue to engage us on their Islamic finance initiatives, while we continually add clients from around the world and are engaged with some of the household names in finance. We value our clients continued trust in our services and endeavour to provide the best service possible as we have been doing for over a decade. We are proud of our record and reputation in the Islamic finance sector.

We welcome your perusal of our website and all our subsidiaries and divisions. It is our pleasure and honour to assist with the Islamic finance initiatives of interested parties.
