Abstract
To our knowledge, this paper presents the first attempt to construct a Shari’ah compliant multiple goals program to address the portfolio selection problem from a conventional portfolio viewpoint. We have applied our model, based on deterministic values, to monthly equity data from 60 financial institutions in Gulf Cooperation Council economies, from 2006 to 2016. Our results show that investors gained higher returns from our Shari’ah compliant portfolios than from conventional portfolios. Thus, Shari’ah investments can benefit not only Islamic investors but also conventional and ethical investors, confirming our belief that conventional investors would benefit from considering ethical investments in their investment strategies.

However, it is unusual for the West to adopt the Islamic financial system with its religious prescriptions.
