Massive thanks to Rukshanara

I feel so fortunate to have had Rukshanara (Ruky) as my advisor. She was incredibly kind, always took the time to listen to my concerns, and was consistently willing to help with any questions I had. I always felt comfortable reaching out to her, and she was always available.

Great Experience with StrideUp – Highly Recommended

I recently completed the purchase of my home through StrideUp, and overall, the experience has been excellent. The staff were friendly, responsive, and always respectful in their communication. The whole process was smooth from start to finish, and I appreciated being able to choose my own conveyancing firm (which StrideUp approved after their due diligence checks).

A special thank you to Rukshanara, who went above and beyond. Initially, I was told I might be ineligible, but thanks to her perseverance and attention to detail, it turned out I was eligible — and we successfully completed on our home last week!

If I had to suggest a couple of improvements, it would be great if StrideUp could provide a direct telephone contact once you're in the conveyancing stage (as most communication is through the portal) and to update the FAQs for greater clarity at the early stages.

That said, I can’t fault the professionalism, transparency, and support shown throughout. I would happily recommend StrideUp to anyone looking for an ethical, straightforward way to buy a home.

Mashallah, a truly seamless experience so far.

We’re currently in the process of getting our offer accepted through Stridup, and I must say, Mashallah, their professionalism, clarity, and responsiveness at every stage of their 5 step process has been exceptional. It’s heartening to see how they’re making Islamic home finance more accessible and straightforward for so many.

Special thanks to:
- Monsur and Rukshanara for the welcoming and informative initial call
- Adeel for patiently clarifying documentation
- Mohammad Khan, who generously spent over 90 minutes walking us through every product and giving us space to make informed decisions

Inshallah, we’re confident the next steps will be just as smooth.
Highly recommended to anyone seeking a Sharia compliant path to home ownership.
Allah knows best.
