Business

1st Ethical

In 2001, he set up 1st Ethical, the UK's first FSA authorised financial services company aimed at the Muslim community.[6][7] The company specialised in regulated investments and pensions advice with a strong focus on property investment. By 2003, the firm had become a national brand and was awarded UK's fastest growing company. In 2006, with margins falling in financial services Sufyan converted 1st Ethical into a charity for education and humanitarian relief.[8]

OneE Group

In 2006, Sufyan founded OneE Group,[9][10][11][12] a specialist wealth advisory service which aims to give clients tax breaks through R&D investment and other UK tax reliefs.[13] The company's growth resulted in it being ranked 57th in the Sunday Times Fast Track listing in 2011 and 53rd in the Sunday Times Profit Track Listing in 2012.[14] The company operates out of offices in Greater Manchester, London and Cyprus today employing approximately 80 staff.

'Islamic Private equity'

Sufyan is a keen proponent of non-interest based finance and has written extensively on Islamic financing models. He also runs a Private Equity business,[15] which invests in numerous start up businesses by young Muslims.[16]

Philanthropy

In 2003, Sufyan set up 1st Ethical Charitable Trust with a view to alleviating poverty and supporting empowerment of underprivileged communities. To date, the Trust and himself personally have donated over £5million to humanitarian causes. Beneficiaries countries include Zambia, Malawi, Philippines and India.

Muslim Engagement and Development (MEND)

In 2014 Sufyan founded MEND (Muslim Engagement and Development), a specialist initiative geared towards tackling Islamophobia by advocacy work with the media and Westminster.[17] MEND's work involved improving the media and political literacy of grass roots British Muslims. In 2016, Ismail stepped down from CEO of MEND.

In 2014, MEND's work was recognised by the world economic forum.[18] MEND is a partner with the electoral commission and a representative body for British Muslims with IPSO.

Islamic finance Publications

Sufyan has authored several papers on elements of Islamic Finance ranging from the prohibition of interest in Islamic Law,[15] Islamic inheritance laws and UK wills,[19] Zakat[20] and Insurance in Islam.[21] In 2008, Sufyan part-authored a University Textbook on Islamic finance which was published.[22]
