I wanted to secure a future for my family. Qartaba Homes seemed like the perfect opportunity – an interest-free, Islamic-compliant way to buy land. I put in $50,000, paying diligently every month. Then one day, we heard the devastating news: Qartaba Homes had collapsed, and the bank took over the land. We were left with nothing. I still struggle to explain to my children why we can’t have our own home.
