The Sharia Compliance & Halal Business Expo 2025, held on April 28th and 29th at the Sarit Expo Centre in Nairobi, brought together a wide range of stakeholders passionate about ethical business grounded in Islamic values. Among the standout sponsors of the event was Macaash Investment Limited, a renowned real estate company known for its focus on the acquisition, design, and development of mid-to-high-end multi-sectoral real estate for investment opportunities.
Macaash Investment Limited’s presence at the expo wasn’t just about visibility—it was a powerful affirmation of the company’s commitment to aligning real estate development with Sharia principles. With a diverse investment portfolio that spans multi-family residential apartments (including furnished and duplex units), rentals, multi-use complexes (office spaces and retail suites), hospitality (restaurants, hotels, outside catering), and healthcare facilities, Macaash demonstrated the real-world potential of ethical property development.
Sudan, which normalized relations with Israel in 2020 under the Abraham Accords, has also dismissed the idea. Despite potential incentives from the US, including debt relief and military assistance, Sudanese officials have rejected the proposal, citing the country’s ongoing civil war and its inability to accommodate such a large influx of refugees. Somaliland, a self-declared independent region of Somalia, has reportedly been approached as well, with US officials suggesting that diplomatic recognition could be offered in exchange for cooperation. However, Somaliland’s capacity to host displaced Palestinians remains questionable, given its limited resources and fragile infrastructure.
The international community has expressed alarm over the proposal, with human rights organizations warning that it could set a dangerous precedent. Critics argue that forcibly relocating Palestinians to Africa would not only violate international law but also exacerbate existing challenges in host countries, many of which are already grappling with poverty, conflict, and underdevelopment.
Arab nations have countered the US-Israeli plan with a $53 billion reconstruction initiative for Gaza, aimed at rebuilding the territory and ensuring that Palestinians remain in their homeland. The proposal has garnered widespread support, with leaders emphasizing the importance of addressing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza without compromising Palestinian sovereignty.
As global opposition to the resettlement plan grows, the fate of Gaza’s displaced population remains uncertain. The controversy underscores the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the need for a just and sustainable resolution that respects the rights and aspirations of all parties involved.
At their exhibition booth, attendees got a close look at Macaash’s standout projects like Sunpark Residence, Asili Hills Residency, Marjaan Residency, and Hilal Apartments. These developments are more than just architectural accomplishments—they are vibrant, community-driven living spaces built with integrity and inclusivity at the core. Each project reflects the company’s mission to deliver value while upholding ethical and faith-based standards.
The event also provided Macaash with a platform to highlight their expansion into hospitality and healthcare, including developments like Urban Point Hotel and Health Gate Hospital. By integrating various sectors under a single investment philosophy, the company continues to raise the bar for ethical and impactful real estate across East Africa.
The Sharia Compliance & Halal Business Expo 2025 placed a spotlight on the growing demand for Halal-aligned business solutions. As global interest in ethical investments rises—particularly among faith-conscious investors—Macaash Investment Limited is perfectly positioned at the intersection of value, purpose, and innovation.
By supporting the event as a sponsor, Macaash sent a strong message: real estate can be profitable while still remaining people-centered, faith-driven, and socially responsible. Their involvement strengthened the event’s overall mission of fostering partnerships and awareness around ethical enterprise.
As the Halal economy continues to grow globally, Macaash’s leadership in this space offers a model for other businesses. Their integration of Sharia principles into every layer of their work proves that it’s possible to build and invest with integrity—without compromising on quality, vision, or ambition.
In conclusion, Macaash Investment Limited’s sponsorship and presence at the Sharia Compliance & Halal Business Expo 2025 reflect more than just brand strength—it reflects a bold commitment to redefining the future of real estate through ethical, Sharia-compliant development.
Their work continues to contribute meaningfully to Kenya’s investment landscape, offering individuals and institutions the chance to be part of something impactful and aligned with lasting values.
