In this article, Syed Qassim — founder of Acabo CC and creator of the SIRAT Framework™ — introduces a faith-driven marketing framework built for Muslim entrepreneurs. Rooted in Islamic principles, the SIRAT Framework™ offers a clear, halal-compliant alternative to mainstream marketing strategies that often rely on deception or pressure tactics.
Syed also explores the rising global demand for halal products and services, sharing valuable insights on how Muslim-owned businesses can ethically scale in today’s digital age.
If you’re a Muslim coach, consultant, or product-based business owner looking to grow without compromising your values, this article lays the groundwork for a better, barakah-filled path.
Who I Am — And Why I Created the SIRAT Framework™
As a Muslim revert, father, and digital marketing strategist with over 8 years of experience, I’ve walked a path that taught me two things:
- Success without barakah is failure in disguise.
- You don’t have to compromise your faith to grow your business.
I’ve worked abroad in the advertising world, managed marketing campaigns across Facebook, Google, TikTok, and LinkedIn, and helped businesses scale through CRM systems, automation, and strategic consulting.
But I reached a turning point.
Despite achieving wins for clients, I began to feel a disconnect. Much of the marketing industry relies on deception, manipulation, pressure tactics, or riba-based growth goals — all things that conflict with Islam.
So I took a step back and asked:
“What would marketing look like if it followed the Straight Path?”
And from that question, the SIRAT Framework™ was born.
Understanding the SIRAT Framework™
The SIRAT Framework™ is built upon five core pillars:
- Strategy First – Start with a strong, intentional game plan.
- Intentional Offers – Sell products that solve real problems with clear purpose.
- Results-Driven Marketing – Focus on outcomes, not vanity metrics.
- Authentic Messaging – Communicate with truth, relevance, and values.
- Trust-Driven Funnels – Build customer journeys based on trust, not pressure.
The Rising Tide of the Halal Market
The global halal market is experiencing unprecedented growth, presenting immense opportunities for Muslim entrepreneurs:
- Market Size: Valued at approximately USD 2.7 trillion in 2024, the halal food sector alone is projected to reach USD 5.9 trillion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 8.92%.
- Regional Growth: Asia Pacific dominates the market, holding over 48.5% share in 2024, with countries like India and Southeast Asian nations leading the surge.
- Diversification: Beyond food, sectors like halal fashion are also expanding, with the global halal fashion market estimated at USD 407.3 billion in 2023 and expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.0% from 2024 to 2030.
This growth underscores a significant shift: Muslim consumers are actively seeking products and services that align with their faith, emphasizing the need for businesses to adopt halal-compliant practices.
