What people are saying about Salaam...
The Guardian
Tuesday October 21st 2008
“...The big question is, will it undercut your current premium? Yesterday I got a quote from Salaam to insure my 10-year-old Toyota estate. It came it at £233 - almost exactly the same as we pay our current insurer, the Co-op. So it certainly looks competitive. Next time your car insurance renewal comes through, it could be worth going halal."

“Salaam Insurance…offers sharia-compliant motor insurance policies by sharing the risk between policy holders…It has a more positive spin than the majority of insurance products on the market, as you may get something back for your money, rather than parting with your cash in the “hope” that you never have to claim it back.”

“There has never been a real choice for Muslims who want the option of buying a product that is aligned with their faith…Salaam Halal insurance will offer Shariah-compliant motor insurance and…the products are also designed to appeal to the non-Muslim community who are interested in products of an ethical or co-operative nature, because of the nature of Halal insurance – known as Takaful.”
The Muslim Weekly
Friday 1 August 2008
“The UK’s first independent Islamic insurance group has been officially launched. Policies will be Sharia-compliant which in this case means that the risk is spread between all policyholders registered with the company, whereas conventional insurers move the risk from the driver to the insurer.”
