Canada’s growing halal market; UK's Ramadan economy; Islamic ETFs...

Assalamualaikum,

Eid Mubarak! As we celebrate the end of Ramadan and the joyous occasion of Eid al-Fitr, we hope your celebrations were filled with blissful moments with family and loved ones. Let us also spare a moment and pray for our brothers and sisters in Gaza and hope the aftermath of the holy month brings peace and security into their lives.
