Iqtisad: an Education in the Real Markets.

Iqtisad is a simulated investment game whereby adolescents are supposed to learn about the operations of real markets by experience rather than memorizing. Rather, players control capital, learn about price changes, and strategically decide in changing market settings instead of passively learning. In a structured and age-appropriate manner, the game imparts fundamental economic theories like risk, reward, volatility, and long-term thinking. With the help of the simulation process based on the technology stocks, venture capital, and cryptocurrency, players can learn to think analytically, be financially aware, and emotionally managed. The Iqtisad objective is to establish a solid ground on market literacy and decision making enabling adolescents to face economic systems with clarity, discipline and confidence.

Why The Name Iqtisad(اقتصاد)?

The name Iqtisad is based on the Arabic word for economics and represents the important role played by Arab scholars in establishing basic economic and financial concepts that affect modern markets today. During the Islamic Golden Age, Arab thinkers began to establish early ideas on ethics of trade, regulation of markets, and contracts, sharing of risk, and financial accountability, as the foundation of today's stock markets and financial systems.

Partnerships, profit, and loss sharing, open record keeping, controlled market places have all been institutionalized way before the modern day engagements. Through the name, Iqtisad, this platform serves as a tribute to those historical inputs but puts emphasis on the balance, systematic decision-making, and accountable economic reasoning which holds a key position in the interpretation of the modern world financial markets.
