Yasser S. Dahlawi

Yasser S. Dahlawi. joined as a Co-Founder and CEO and took Ammar’s foundational vision on a new trajectory. For two decades, Yasser was the strategic force who built the engine of SRB. He was instrumental in building in-house advisory along with the Sharia audit service-delivery infrastructure.

Yasser’s focus was on creating a professional methodology for not just the Sharia audit reporting framework, but he also engineered the Sharia certification processes that would allow institutional players to confidently outsource the function to SRB. He identified the next critical evolution: the need to build the world’s leading network of Sharia scholars.

This network would not only provide faster, deeper, and more enriching opinions and certificate but would also serve to train and groom the next generation of scholarly talent, ensuring the industry’s future. He understood that an international network of scholars was a competitive advantage.  SRB actively developed a robust Sharia scholar’s network which covered 17 countries and 40+ scholars from all schools of Islamic jurisprudence.

Yasser’s strategic impact was profound: he oversaw more than 200 projects, established Sharia boards for numerous institutions, and cultivated a client-first ethos. He was the driving force behind SRB’s transformation into an internationally recognized company. He also built the Sharia assurance model that later evolved to align with international assurance practices like ISAE 3000.

To govern the rapidly expanding scholarly network, SRB needed an authority of unparalleled repute. That authority was Dr. Mohammed Ali Elgari.
