On Saturday, October 17 and Sunday, October 18, 2026, from 1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. each day, iRizq.com hosts the Halal Investing Blueprint Workshop at the Blackstone Islamic Education Collaborative, 58 Circuit Street, Roxbury, MA 02119. The two afternoons are built for Muslim parents and teenagers learning side by side: how markets work, what makes an investment Shariah-compliant, and how to leave with a practical 30-day plan rather than a stack of jargon.
What the Workshop Covers
Organizers describe four sessions with hands-on labs: foundations of halal wealth building (including screening stocks through an Islamic lens), understanding a business before you buy shares, building a family portfolio with a safe household budget, and a final launch session on opening a brokerage account and taking first steps. Households get a printed blueprint workbook, walk through five example halal stocks and ETFs as practice (not as buy recommendations), and receive 90 days of complimentary access to iRizq's Investors Circle Discord. The facilitator listed on the public page is Sarfaraz Nasir, co-founder of iRizq.com.
Cost, Capacity and How to Register
The family rate listed on the workshop page is $149 per family (marked down from $199), with one registration covering the household. Capacity is capped at 50 families, first-come, first-served. Pre-registration is required; organizers say there will be no door registration once the cap is reached. Questions go to Sarfaraz Nasir at Sarfaraz@iRizq.com or 774-526-2980.

Getting to Circuit Street
Blackstone Islamic Education Collaborative sits at 58 Circuit Street in Roxbury, MA 02119. The MBTA bus stop Washington Street at Circuit Street is a short walk; Route 42 serves that corridor, and Orange Line riders can use Roxbury Crossing or Jackson Square and finish with a short bus or ride-share. Organizers say free parking is available at the facility. For day-of building questions, BIEC lists (617) 868-2322 and info@blackstoneboston.org; for workshop content and tickets, contact iRizq directly.
Before You Go
Confirm the $149 family rate and remaining spots on the live registration page, save your confirmation, and plan both Saturday and Sunday afternoons, since the curriculum is spread across eight hours of guided instruction. This is an educational workshop about process and screening, not personalized financial advice; families with complex tax, debt or investment questions should still talk with a qualified professional.
