Guide to Marhaba Decentralized Financial Platform
Marhaba Decentralized Financial Platform is an ethical DeFi platform. MRHB Founder and CEO Naquib Mohammed targets an unmet demand of Muslims for Shariah-certified DeFi products. He has launched the start-up mid-pandemic after nine months of laying the groundwork. The platform website states that
MRHB DeFi will be free from interest/usury (Riba), excessive risk (Gharar), and financial transactions which are similar to gambling (Maysir).
The smart contracts are the backbone of the MRHB platform that are set to enforce the Shariah compliance and prohibit the use of any asset that is unlawful according to Shariah Law. The supervision of duly experienced and highly qualified in-house Shariah advisors ensure that the activities on the platform are Shariah-compliant.
Marhaba Decentralized Financial Platform is built on the Binance Smart Chain whcih greatly reduces costs of transactions and improves overall efficiency. The core services that MRHB provides are Saha wallet, Souq NFT and Liquidity Harvester, among others.

The wallet encompasses Shariah-governed DeFi functionalities to enable users to participate in charity and Zakat using web3.
Sahal Wallet, is integrated into MRHB’s Shariah filtering technology that allows only compliant tokens to be stored, transacted, and managed by the user. The wallet serves as the gateway to the entire MRHB DeFi ecosystem where users interact with any ecosystem products within Sahal.
