b) Growth:
An investment objective for a client seeking both higher returns from
capital appreciation and some current income by investing the
portfolio primarily in growth equities which produce little or no
current income, and in income-producing investments of all grades,
while recognizing and accepting the increased risks associated with
investments of this type.
A portfolio may perform differently from the market as whole or
similar investments. Some investments are more volatile than others,
which can lead to substantial and rapid changes in gains or losses in
the value of the account.
Capital growth is most closely associated with the purchase of common
stock, particularly growth securities, which offer low yields but a
considerable opportunity for an increase in value. For this reason,
common stock ranks among the most speculative of investments as the
return depends on what will happen in an unpredictable future. Blue-
chip stocks can potentially offer the best of all worlds by possessing
reasonable safety, modest income, and potential for capital growth
generated by long-term increases in corporate revenues and earnings
as the company matures. Common stock is rarely able to provide the
safety and income generation of government bonds.

Investment

1.5.1 Al-Quran
Literally means reading or recitation. Technically, means the book containing the
speech of God revealed to Prophet Muhammad through the Angel of Gabriel in
Arabic and transmitted to us by continuous testimony (tawaatur).
Al-Quran is the most authoritative guide for Muslims and a proof of the prophecy
of Prophet
The first revelation was surah al-‘Alaq: 1-5 which means: “Read in the name of
your Lord Who created, created mankind from something which clings, read! And
your Lord is the most Noble, Who taught by pen, taught mankind what he did not
know.”

History of Compilation
The history shows that during the time of the Prophet Muhammad
PBUH, he himself and many companions have memorized the Quran.
The text of the Quran was preserved not only in memories, but also
in inscriptions on such available materials such as flat stones, woods
and bones.
Initially, the first Caliph Abu Bakr, collected the Quran soon after the
battle of Yamamah which led to the death of at least seventy of the
memorizers (huffaz) of the Qur’an. Zayd bin Thabit was appointed
on the task of compiling the text. But several versions and readings
of this edition soon crept into use.
Hence, the third Caliph Uthman Ibn Affan once again utilized the
services of Zayd to verify the accuracy of the text and compiled it in
a single volume.
All the remaining variations were then destroyed. As the result, only
one version authentic text has remaining in use to this day.
