I bridge the gap between complex corporate finance, structured education, and native multilingual communication. With an MBA in Finance, an 8-year advanced Shariah degree, a Master’s in Arabic, and an AAOIFI CSAA designation, I provide institution-grade consulting that is commercially viable, implementable and ethical.
Over the past 15+ years, I have delivered ethical solutions to 200+ global clients—including banks, fintech startups, educational institutes, and nonprofits.
To serve your project efficiently, my expertise is structured into three distinct professional pillars:
Pillar 1: Islamic Finance, Shariah Advisory & Business Planning
I help startups, SMEs, and financial institutions design robust financial models and strategic roadmaps that satisfy global venture capitalists while maintaining absolute Shariah compliance.
• Shariah Compliance Auditing: Elimination of Riba, Gharar, and non-compliant revenue mechanics based strictly on AAOIFI standards.
• Investor-Ready Funding Suites: Crafting 3-statement financial models (Excel), comprehensive feasibility studies, and highly polished market analysis reports.
• Fintech & Emerging Markets: Advisory for Halal credit cards, automated equity screening platforms, Web3/crypto tokens, crowdfunding, and digital banking applications.
• Asset Management: Structuring Halal real estate models, mutual funds, ETFs, and compliant corporate supply chain financing.
Pillar 2: Islamic Curriculum & Educational Content Development
I design structured, faith-based educational frameworks and digital content for online schools, academic publishers, and media platforms.
• Curriculum Design: Developing comprehensive syllabi, lesson plans, educational slides, and assessment matrices (MCQs/quizzes).
• High-Authority Authorship: Ghostwriting and technical reviewing of textbooks, manuscripts, and comprehensive educational eBooks.
• Media & Scriptwriting: Writing engaging, well-paced, and authentically sourced scripts for educational YouTube channels, corporate training, and digital media platforms.
Pillar 3: Premium Multilingual Technical Translation
I provide authoritative translation services for high-stakes legal, financial, and theological documents where generalist translators fail. I ensure flawless terminology preservation across five primary languages:
• Language Matrix: Native in Urdu and Pashto; near-native in Dari and Persian; completely fluent in Arabic and English.
• Corporate & Legal Translation: Certified translation of regulatory documentation, corporate agreements, and dense AAOIFI standards.
• InDesign Formatting: Delivering fully translated packages with complex corporate formatting perfectly intact using advanced Adobe InDesign workflows.
Proven Track Record & Portfolio Highlights
• Banking & Fintech: Developed a Shariah-compliant credit card framework for a US bank, engineered a Murabaha calculator for a fintech platform, and structured a customized Takaful model for a telecom company.
• Content & Translation: Translated over 4 million words of complex corporate, legal, and Islamic texts, and authored more than 100 professional articles and 75 successful grant proposals/business plans.
• Education: Compiled "Trade and Business in Islam" for an MBA curriculum and generated over 6,000 verified educational assessments.
Core Collaboration Parameters
• Ethical Alignment Only: I do not provide consulting, writing, or modeling for conventional interest-based structures or unethical business practices.
• No Academic Work: I do not participate in student homework, university assignments, or academic cheating.

English–Urdu Translation & Localization Specialist
I am a professional English–Urdu translator, localization specialist, and MTPE linguist with more than a decade of experience helping global companies communicate clearly with Urdu-speaking audiences.
I have been active on Upwork since 2011 (back when it was oDesk) and have successfully completed 160+ projects on the platform. Over the years, I have worked with global brands, technology companies, translation agencies, and international organizations delivering translation, localization, AI content review, and interpretation services.
Organizations and platforms I have worked with include OpenAI, OlympTrade, OctaFX, Binomo, 1win, ImmiTranslate, PoliLingua, TranslateSwift, and FCI Academy of Translation, among many others.
My work ranges from financial and technical translation to legal documentation, marketing localization, and AI-generated content review.
Because of my background as an English-language journalist and editor, my translations do not read like translations — they read like natural, original writing in the target language.
Areas of Expertise
I specialize in English to Urdu and English to Sindhi translation and localization, working across a wide range of industries including:
• Fintech and trading platforms (Forex, crypto, stock trading)
• iGaming and sports betting platforms

• AI content review and MT post-editing
• NGO and healthcare materials
• Marketing and website localization
• Subtitling and media translation
• Technical documentation and product content
USCIS Document Translation
I regularly translate personal and legal documents for immigration purposes, including submissions for USCIS and other immigration authorities.
Common documents include:
• Birth certificates
• Marriage certificates
• Police certificates
• Academic transcripts
• Affidavits and personal records
I have completed hundreds of similar translations for immigration service providers and agencies, ensuring accurate formatting, consistent terminology, and clear English suitable for official submission.
Services I Provide
• Professional translation (English ⇄ Urdu / Sindhi)
• Website and app localization
• MT Post-Editing (MTPE)
• Proofreading and linguistic QA
• Subtitling and SRT creation
• Transcreation and marketing adaptation
• Remote interpretation (legal, healthcare, NGO programs)
Clients & Agencies

FCI Academy of Translation
ImmiTranslate
PoliLingua
TranslateSwift
Mars Translation
Ulatus
Blend Express (One Hour Translation)
Productive Playhouse

Universal Translation Services
Data Duck
WordAnt
and many others.
Tools & Platforms
I regularly work with industry-standard CAT tools and localization platforms, including:
• Phrase (Memsource)
• memoQ
• SDL Trados
• Smartcat
• Crowdin
• Subtitle Edit
I also work with structured localization files such as JSON, XML, PO, and XLIFF.
Qualifications
Master’s Degree in Mass Communication — University of Karachi
Certificate in Translation Theory & Practice — Cardiff University
Professional member of ProZ (largest global platform for translators)
Workflow & Collaboration
I regularly collaborate with translation agencies, localization teams, and AI training companies.
I am comfortable working with style guides, glossaries, translation memories, and QA workflows, and can integrate easily into existing localization pipelines while following client-specific terminology and formatting standards.
Projects can be delivered in multiple formats including DOCX, Google Docs, CAT tool packages, and structured localization files.
I am also available for large-volume projects, long-term collaborations, and ongoing partnerships with agencies and localization vendors.
Why Clients Work With Me
• Native Urdu and Sindhi speaker
• Editorial-level English proficiency
• 10+ years of translation experience
• Trusted by global agencies and fintech platforms
• Clear communication and reliable delivery
Closing Line
My goal is simple: deliver translations that are accurate, natural, and culturally precise.
If you need a dependable English–Urdu linguist for translation, localization, MTPE, or interpretation projects, feel free to get in touch.
Available for both hourly and fixed-price projects.
