Meet the Team

Our founder and CEO

Mustafa Mohammed Yusuf

With a background in medicine, Mustafa was looking for opportunities to invest the money he had saved. He looked at the common investment opportunities at the time (e.g. crypto and stocks & shares) but as a practising muslim, he was concerned about the fine line between halal and haram (with differences in opinions amongst scholars). He therefore went out and searched for something that was unanimously agreed upon as permissible and that he could also understand easily for himself.

It was at this point that Mustafa came upon gold investment. He felt reassured by the close relationship that Islam and gold has had over the centuries and its frequent mention in Quran and Hadith, whilst also finding the potential return extremely appealing. Mustafa then made his first investment, however he found the process to be complicated for somebody who had not previously invested in gold.

Fast forward a few years, with Mustafa now a seasoned gold investor, he started to become increasingly concerned about the ethos of the company with its close links to the alcohol and sports betting industries (with alternative options also having a similar inclination). It was at this point he decided to set out and create a platform that was both easily accessible to a global audience and governed by a strong ethical and moral code based on true Islamic principles… and so GIGI was born bi-ithnillah.

A few words from the founder…

“ JazakAllah for coming on board with us. May Allah  place baraqah in your rizq and make your journey with GIGI one that is beneficial to you and your family both in the dunya and aakhirah. Ameen.

We kindly request that you also make dua that GIGI can be a source of benefit for Muslims around the globe.

And finally I would like to conclude with a reminder to us all from the Quran…
