SHAREHOLDER LETTER

JUNE 30, 2022 (UNAUDITED)

Dear Azzad Funds Shareholder,

Enclosed please find your copy of the Azzad Funds (the “Trust”) annual report, in which you can read a review of your investments for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2022.

Throughout the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, market dynamics were mixed. Equities posted all-time highs in January of 2022, but those decades-high inflation numbers helped send stocks into a bear market by fiscal year-end. Globally, hawkish central banks led to reduced global liquidity, making it more expensive to issue financial instruments like sukuk.

As noted above, inflation became the principal worry for investors during the fiscal year. This is because rising prices can hurt corporate profits, reduce business investment necessary for future growth, and influence the spending capacity of consumers. As it became more persistent than originally anticipated by the Federal Reserve, there was growing concern throughout the period that inflation could play a role in moving the economy toward a recession. As of this writing, the economy has posted two consecutive quarters of negative growth, which is considered by many to be a recession.

Predicting where markets will be by the end of 2022 is a practical impossibility, especially given the uncertainties of higher prices, rising interest rates, and geopolitical tensions.

If there is one takeaway for investors, it should be to expect volatility. Volatility can be uncomfortable, but it is normal. Ultimately, taking a long-term view of the markets is essential when pursuing your long-term goals.

Thank you for your continued trust and investment.  

Sincerely,

Joshua Brockwell, CSRIC™
Investment Communications Director

Azzad Ethical Fund (ADJEX)

The Azzad Ethical Fund (“Ethical Fund”) returned -26.46% for the twelve-month period from 7/1/2021 to 6/30/2022, outperforming the Russell MidCap® Growth Index, which returned -29.57%.

Over the one-year period from July 1, 2021, to June 30, 2022, investors saw the transition from elation in 2021 to abject fear in 2022. The market’s drawdown in the latter half of the period was the result of a confluence of macroeconomic factors: inflation, rising interest rates, slowing consumer demand, the end of free money at the policy level, supply chain issues due to the pandemic, and geopolitical risk due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Add euphoric stock valuations through the middle of 2021, and the grim picture comes into full focus.

During the period, the market environment was tumultuous at the macroeconomic level. This provided little direction to equity markets until second quarter of 2022, when trends were forecast lower. For the fiscal year, all sectors within the index had negative absolute returns, except for the energy sector, which benefited from the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

The Ethical Fund’s sub-adviser, Delaware Investments Fund Advisers (“DIFA”), reported that stock selection was the driver of relative outperformance during the 12-month period ended June 30, 2022. It compensated for the relative detraction of sector overweight and underweight positions. Stock selection was most meaningful to relative returns in the healthcare, consumer discretionary, communication services, and consumer staples sectors. Stock selection detracted from overall relative performance in the information technology, materials, financials, and industrials sectors.

As a growth manager, DIFA looks for opportunities to invest in companies that DIFA believes have sound capital structures and the ability to grow throughout business and economic cycles. These business models have a product or service that appears durable, coupled with capital structures and management teams that allow the business to execute competitively in any market environment. DIFA continues to seek opportunities in business and consumer technology, life sciences innovation, the green energy revolution, and other areas that DIFA believes has the potential to continue growing, regardless of the economic cycle.

Azzad Wise Capital Fund (WISEX)

 The Azzad Wise Capital Fund (“Wise Fund”) returned -3.46% for the 12-month period ending 6/30/2022, outperforming its benchmark, the BofAML U.S. Corp. & Govt. 1-3 Yr. Index, which returned -3.62%.

According to the Wise Fund’s sub-advisor Federated Hermes Investment Management Company (“Federated Hermes”), the first half of the Wise Fund’s fiscal year saw robust issuance of sukuk driven by Islamic investor appetite, the diversification objectives of global funds, and Islamic finance development goals in several countries. Central banks, governments, and multilateral institutions dominated issuance.

SHAREHOLDER LETTER (CONTINUED)

JUNE 30, 2022 (UNAUDITED)

Global outstanding sukuk reached $711 billion at the end of the first half of fiscal year 2022, around 13% higher year over year. Sustainable sukuk volumes expanded 17% over the same period to $15 billion.

In the second half of the fiscal year, sukuk issuance dropped to $75 billion, owing to high inflation and war in Ukraine. Most core Islamic finance countries saw declines, with only a few exceptions, such as Turkey, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates, which presented marginally higher numbers. Issuance in foreign currency also plummeted.

Global credit spreads began widening in the third quarter of the fiscal year alongside the sharp turn in U.S. financial conditions, with markets preparing for more aggressive policy normalization by the Federal Reserve.

One region that benefited from the spike in energy prices over the second half of the Wise Fund’s fiscal year is the Middle East. Having drawn down heavily on fiscal reserves during the depths of the COVID-19 crisis, Federated Hermes noted that several countries in the region saw upside surprises in their fiscal and external accounts. Most countries in the region had budgeted for an average oil price in 2022 of approximately $70, and with oil averaging $104 during the first half of the year, reserves were replenished. The weaker credit of Oman and Bahrain gained the most versus high-grade stable credits such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Kuwait.

Looking ahead, Federated Hermes is reportedly not overly optimistic in the near term about renewed sukuk issuance on par with previous levels. Sukuk are more a complex and time-consuming instrument than conventional bonds; this becomes a detriment to new issuance as rates rise and funding becomes more expensive. At the same time, global energy prices are providing funding for the Middle East region without necessitating tapping the market at higher rates. The good news for investors is that this scenario can lead to positive market technicals for existing sukuk as well as an improving fundamental picture at the issuer level.

Note 1.

Organization

The Azzad Funds (the "Trust") is an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act"). The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on December 16, 1996. The Trust is comprised of the following Funds: The Azzad Ethical Fund (the “Ethical Fund”), which commenced operations on December 22, 2000 and is a registered, diversified fund, and the Azzad Wise Capital Fund (the “Wise Fund”), which commenced operations on April 6, 2010 and is a registered, diversified fund, (collectively the "Funds"). Azzad Asset Management, Inc. (“Adviser”) is the investment adviser to both Funds (see Note 4).

The Ethical Fund’s primary investment objective is to provide shareholders with long-term total returns using means that are consistent with the Adviser’s ethical principles.

The Wise Fund’s primary investment objective is to provide shareholders with capital preservation and income.

The Funds should be considered long-term investments and are not appropriate for short-term goals. The Funds may also be used in all types of retirement and college savings plans including separately managed (wrap) programs.

Each of Ethical Fund’s and Azzad Wise Fund’s classifications are “diversified” for purposes of the 1940 Act. This means that each Fund, with respect to 75% of its total assets, may not purchase the securities of any issuer (except securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities or securities issued by other investment companies) if, as a result (i) more than 5% of each Fund’s total assets would be invested in securities of that issuer, or (ii) each Fund would hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of that issuer.

Note 2.  

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of its financial statements. The Funds follow the accounting and reporting guidance of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification 946 and Accounting Standards Update 2013-08 applicable to investment companies.

Security Valuation – All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.

Foreign Currency – Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

JUNE 30, 2022

The Wise Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held.  Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, income, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Wise Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid.  Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period-end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

Security Transactions and Related Investment Income- Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.  Net realized gain/(loss) on the statement of operations also includes realized gain distributions received from Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITS”). Distributions of net realized gains are recorded on the REIT’s ex-dividend date.  Sukuk income and income from other investments in the Wise Fund are recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the life of the respective security.

Federal Income Taxes- The Funds make no provision for federal income or excise tax.  The Funds intend to qualify each year as regulated investment companies (“RICs”) under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, by complying with the requirements applicable to RICs and by distributing substantially all of their taxable income.  The Funds also intend to distribute sufficient net investment income and net capital gains, if any, so that they will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income and gains.  If the required amount of net investment income or gains is not distributed, the Funds could incur a tax expense. Therefore, no federal income tax or excise provision is required.

The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained, assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years (2019-2021) or expected to be taken on the Funds’ 2022 tax returns. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdiction as U.S. Federal, however the Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

Annual Report | 27

AZZAD FUNDS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

JUNE 30, 2022

The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the year ended June 30, 2022, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

Cash – During the ordinary course of business, the Funds hold cash balances at a major financial institution that are held to meet short-term liquidity requirements, rather than for investment purposes. The cash balances may exceed federally insured limits. The Funds have not experienced losses on these accounts, and management believes the Funds are not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

Restricted and Illiquid Securities - Each Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in securities that are considered to be illiquid. A security is considered to be illiquid if it cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days at approximately the value at which the Fund has valued the security. Examples of illiquid securities include securities that have a limited trading market, securities that are sold in private placements without being registered for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and are therefore subject to restrictions on resale, and other securities that are subject to restrictions on resale. Certain restricted securities such as commercial paper issued under Section 4(a)(2) of the 1933 Act and domestically traded securities that are not registered under the 1933 Act, but are regularly traded among qualified institutional buyers because they are exempt from registration under 1933 Act Rule 144A, may be treated as liquid securities by the Adviser, for purposes of the 15% limitation, pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”), which require consideration of factors such as trading activity, availability of market quotations and number of dealers willing to purchase the security.

Redemption Fees- As of November 1, 2020, the Board approved the removal of the redemption fees. Prior to November 1, 2020, the Ethical Fund and the Wise Fund each charged a 2.00% redemption fee for shares redeemed within 90 days of investment.  These fees were deducted from the redemption proceeds otherwise payable to the shareholder. The Funds retained the fees charged as an increase in paid-in capital and such fees became part of each Fund’s daily NAV calculation.  See Note 5.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders- The Ethical Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income as dividends to their shareholders on at least an annual basis. Net investment income in Wise Fund, if any, is declared as dividends and paid monthly. The Funds intend to distribute their net realized capital gains at least once a year.  Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.  The treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the year from net investment income or net realized capital gains may differ from their ultimate treatment for federal income tax purposes. These differences are caused primarily by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components of income, expenses or realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes.  Where such differences are permanent in nature, they are reclassified in the components of the net assets based on their ultimate

characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations or net asset value per share of the Funds.   Please see Note 8 for additional information on dividends paid.

Estimates- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 3. Securities Valuations

Processes and Structure

The Board has adopted guidelines for valuing securities including in circumstances in which market quotes are not readily available and has delegated to the Adviser the responsibility for determining fair value prices, subject to review by the Board.

The Board has adopted written Pricing and Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) governing the fair valuation of securities, and has delegated authority to the Adviser to apply those methods in making fair value determinations, subject to Board oversight. The Adviser has established a Valuation Committee to oversee the implementation of these Procedures. The Valuation Committee has the responsibility of determining the fair value of each of the Fund’s securities or other assets in the absence of readily available market quotations. The Valuation Committee also reviews the Funds’ Procedures to make sure they continue to be appropriate for the Funds. The Valuation Committee meets annually and on an as needed basis. The Valuation Committee reviews its own fair value decisions and reports to the Board on all fair valuation decisions that are made. The Board reviews all valuation decisions made by the Valuation Committee and evaluates whether the Valuation Committee is adhering to the Funds’ Procedures and whether the Procedures continue to be appropriate for the Funds.

Hierarchy of Fair Value Inputs

The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of most of their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of inputs are as follows:

·

Level 1. Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access.

·

Level 2. Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates, and similar data.

Annual Report | 29

AZZAD FUNDS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

JUNE 30, 2022

·

Level 3. Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability to the extent that relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions that a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and that would be based on the best information available.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in level 3.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Fair Value Measurements

A description of the valuation techniques applied to each Fund's major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis follows.

Equity securities (common stock and real estate investment trusts). Securities traded on a national securities exchange (or reported on the NASDAQ national market) are stated at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation. To the extent these securities are actively traded, and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Certain foreign securities may be fair valued using a pricing service that considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign security to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments such as American Depositary Receipts, financial futures, Exchange Traded Funds, and the movement of the certain indexes of securities based on a statistical analysis of the historical relationship and that are categorized in level 2.

Sukuks. The Wise Fund invests in Sukuks. Sukuks are used to finance projects and asset acquisitions while avoiding the Islamic prohibition on interest. Whereas bonds represent a debt ownership, a sukuk certificate represents ownership or interest in a tangible asset, or the usufruct of an asset. They are therefore considered to be asset-based securities. Sukuks grant investors a proportionate beneficial ownership of the underlying asset, along with its associated risks and potential cash flows. Underlying assets may include, without limitation, real estate (developed and undeveloped), infrastructure projects, lease contracts and machinery and equipment. While the certificate is linked to the returns generated by certain assets of the issuer, the underlying assets are not pledged as security for the certificates, and the Wise Fund (as the investor) is relying on the creditworthiness of the issuer for all payments required by the Sukuk. Sukuk certificate holders share the risk of the underlying asset. If the assets on which sukuk are issued do not perform as

Annual Report | 30

AZZAD FUNDS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

JUNE 30, 2022

well as expected, the sukuk investor will bear a share of the loss. Unlike conventional bonds, sukuks do not earn interest payments.

Sukuks may be issued by international financial institutions, foreign governments and agencies of foreign governments and even global corporations. Like conventional bonds, rating agencies rate Sukuks based on their credit quality and the issuer’s ability to pay investors. Sukuks receive ratings that look exactly like conventional bonds. At June 30, 2022, 66.21% of the Wise Fund’s net assets were invested in Sukuks.  These instruments will be categorized as level 2 investments in the fair value hierarchy.

Trade Finance Agreements.  Trade finance agreements in which the Wise Fund may invest consist primarily of loans or similar instruments used to finance international trade and related infrastructure projects, such as, for example, facilities for pre-export finance, process and commodities finance, receivables financing, factoring or forfeiting, trade credit insurance, letters of credit and other documentary credits, documentary collection, promissory notes, bills of exchange and other negotiable instruments.  The Wise Fund may invest in such investments by way of purchase, assignment, participation, guarantee, insurance or another financial instrument.  Trade finance agreement transactions may include both domestic and international transactions, and may include sellers of goods or services, buyers of such goods or services, intermediaries such as banks and other financial institutions as lenders, insurers, and other parties.    A trade finance agreement transaction can involve various structures.  For example, while a seller (or exporter) can require a purchaser (an importer) to prepay for goods shipped, the purchaser (importer) may wish to reduce risk by requiring the seller to document the goods that have been shipped. Banks, financial institutions or other lenders may assist by providing various forms of support, such as a letter of credit provided by the importer’s bank to the exporter (or the exporter's bank) providing for payment upon presentation of certain documents (for example, a bill of lading). The exporter's bank also may make a loan (by advancing funds) to the exporter on the basis of the export contract.

Trade Finance agreements are located primarily in or have exposure to global emerging markets. As such, the Wise Fund is subject to all of the risks typical to investments generally made in emerging markets. In addition, the Wise Fund is subject to risks specific to the trade finance agreements asset class such as liquidity risk, credit rating risk, and counter-party risk. The Wise Fund will only invest in trade finance agreements related securities if it is determined that this investment is in accordance with the Wise Fund’s ethical investment philosophy. Trade finance agreements will be categorized as level 3 investments in the fair value hierarchy. Trade finance agreements are considered illiquid securities as defined by the 1940 Act. The Wise Fund’s investments in trade finance agreements at June 30, 2022 represented 4.74% of the Wise Fund’s net assets.

Bank Time Deposits. In a typical bank deposit, a bank raises funds to invest in various commercial activities from its investors. The bank and its investors both share in the profit and risk of loss of investment in such activities. The bank is responsible for monitoring the underlying investments to make sure that they will achieve the anticipated

Annual Report | 31

AZZAD FUNDS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

JUNE 30, 2022

profit rate agreed upon in the contract on the maturity date. If the bank makes any profit by the maturity date, the profits are shared with investors according to a pre-agreed ratio. Conversely, if a loss is made, it is borne by the investors in the absence of gross negligence, fraud or willful default by the bank. The bank provides investors with monthly indicative profit rates for their investments.  Bank time deposits will be categorized as level 2 investment in the fair value hierarchy. The Wise Fund’s investments in bank deposits represented 18.02% of its net assets at June 30, 2022.

The following tables summarize the inputs used to value each Fund’s assets measured at fair value as of June 30, 2022:

The Wise Fund uses a pricing service to provide price evaluations for level 3 Trade Finance Agreements. The values supplied by the pricing service under this agreement are determined by market quotations where such quotations are available, fair value where market quotations are not available. Unless otherwise stated the valuations are marked Mid-Market for each transaction and are derived from proprietary models. The quantitative unobservable inputs used by the pricing service may be based upon a number of factors including, but not limited to, current prices quoted, valuation of underlying assets, market liquidity, the pricing service’s proprietary models and assumptions (which are subject to change without notice) and publicly available information.

Transactions with the Adviser and Affiliates

Advisory Agreement - Azzad Asset Management, Inc. (the "Adviser") under an advisory agreement with the Trust, furnishes management and investment advisory services and, subject to the supervision of the Board, directs the investments of the Trust in accordance with the Funds’ investment objectives, policies and limitations. For this service, the Adviser receives a monthly management fee at the annual rate of 0.80% of the average daily net assets for each of the Ethical Fund and the Wise Fund.

For the year ended June 30, 2022, the Adviser earned $1,084,544 and $1,716,969 in advisory fees for the Ethical Fund and Wise Fund, respectively. At June 30, 2022, the Adviser was owed $41,764 and $74,210 in advisory fees for the Ethical Fund and Wise Fund, respectively.

The Adviser has agreed to contractually waive all or a portion of its fees or reimburse each Fund for certain operating expenses, to the extent necessary to limit each Fund’s net annual operating expenses (excluding brokerage costs; borrowing costs, including without limitation dividends on securities sold short; taxes; indirect expenses, such as expenses incurred by other investment companies in which the Funds invest; and litigation and other extraordinary expenses) to 0.99% and 0.89% of the average daily net assets of the Ethical Fund and Wise Fund, respectively until at least December 1, 2023. Any waiver or reimbursement of operating expenses by the Adviser is subject to

Annual Report | 33

AZZAD FUNDS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

JUNE 30, 2022

repayment by the respective Fund within three years after such reimbursement or waiver occurred, if the Board approves such reimbursement and the Fund is able to make the repayment without exceeding the expense limitations in place at either the time of the waiver or reimbursement occurred or any expense limitation then in effect. For the year ended June 30, 2022, the Adviser waived fees of $174,187 for the Ethical Fund and $192,972 for the Wise Fund.

The Adviser will be entitled to reimbursement of fees waived or reimbursed by the Adviser to the Funds.  Fees waived or expenses may be paid to the Adviser during the following three-year period to the extent that payment of such expenses does not cause a Fund to exceed the expense limitation.  As of June 30, 2022, the unreimbursed amounts paid or waived by the Adviser on behalf of the Ethical Fund and Wise Fund are $510,447 and $603,515, respectively.  As of June 30, 2022, amounts subject to future recoupment are as follows:

Fiscal Year Ended	Recoverable in Fiscal Year Ending	Ethical Fund	Wise Fund
June 30, 2020	June 30, 2023	$ 146,669	$ 189,404
June 30, 2021	June 30, 2024	$ 189,591	$ 221,139
June 30, 2022	June 30, 2025	$ 174,187	$ 192,972

Sub-Advisory Agreement – The Adviser entered into a Sub-Advisory Agreement with Delaware Investments Fund Advisers (“DIFA”) on April 30, 2021, on behalf of the Ethical Fund. Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and DIFA, DIFA earned an annual sub-advisory fee equal to a flat fee of 0.25% of the Ethical Fund’s average daily net assets. The sub-advisory fee was paid to DIFA by the Adviser, not the Ethical Fund directly, and therefore is included in the advisory fees paid by the Ethical Fund. For the year ended June 30, 2022, DIFA earned $338,702 in sub-advisory fees for the Ethical Fund.

The Adviser entered into a Sub-Advisory Agreement with Federated Investment Management Company (“Federated”) on March 10, 2014, on behalf of the Wise Fund. The sub-advisory fee paid to Federated is paid by the Adviser, not the Wise Fund and therefore is included in the advisory fees paid by the Wise Fund. The Wise Fund receives additional research services and investment management expertise, from a reputable investment manager without any additional expense to the Wise Fund. For the year ended June 30, 2022, Federated earned $490,820 in sub-advisory fees for the Wise Fund.

The Adviser entered into a Sub Sub-Advisory Agreement with Federated and Federated Hermes (UK) LLP (“Federated Hermes”) on July 26, 2021, on behalf of the Wise Fund. Federated and the Adviser retained Federated Hermes, an affiliate of Federated, to provide assistance in carrying out Federated’s duties as the Wise Fund’s sub-adviser. The Adviser oversees each of Federated and Federated Hermes and will be responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Wise Fund related to the dividend-yielding equity portion of the Wise Fund’s portfolio and for ensuring that the Wise Fund’s

holdings and portfolio management complies with its ethical investment restrictions.  Under the terms of the Sub-Subadvisory Agreement, Federated Hermes’ sub-subadvisory fee is paid by Federated, from the sub-advisory fee that Federated receives, and not directly by the Fund or the Adviser, and therefore does not increase the advisory fees paid by the Wise Fund.

Administrative Agreement - The Funds have an Administrative Agreement with the Adviser.  Pursuant to the Administrative Agreement, the Adviser, subject to the overall supervision and review of the Board, provides administrative services to the Funds, provides the Funds with office space, facilities and business equipment, and provides the services and clerical personnel for administering the affairs of the Funds.  As such, each of the Funds pays the Adviser $750 per month, per Fund. For the year ended June 30, 2022, the Adviser earned $8,997 from each Fund for administrative services.  As of June 30, 2022, the Ethical Fund and the Wise Fund each owed the Adviser $1,504 in administrative fees.

Investment Transactions

For the year ended June 30, 2022, purchases and sales of investment securities other than short-term investments aggregated $41,869,905 and $33,855,101, respectively, for the Ethical Fund. For the year ended June 30, 2022, the purchases and sales of investment securities other than short-term investments aggregated $56,537,215 and $44,077,684, respectively, for the Wise Fund.

Note 7. Concentration of Risk

The Wise Fund invests in securities of non-U.S. and U.S. issuers.  Political or economic developments may have an effect on the liquidity and volatility of portfolio securities and currency holdings.  As of June 30, 2022, the diversification of countries was as follows:

Country	Percentage of Net Assets
Cayman Islands	37.19%
Bahrain	12.53%
Malaysia	8.07%
Indonesia	7.04%
United States	6.44%
Qatar	5.39%
Egypt	3.85%
Oman	3.31%
Kuwait	3.20%
Pakistan	2.23%
United Arab Emirates	2.14%
Jersey	1.61%
Turkey	1.36%
Saudi Arabia	1.05%
Ireland	0.48%

Investing in foreign securities involves risks not typically associated with U.S. investments, including, among others, adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values as well as adverse political, social, and economic developments affecting a foreign country, less publicly available information, more volatile or less liquid securities markets, restrictions on receiving the investment proceeds from a foreign country, foreign tax laws, potential difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations, less revealing accounting practices, inadequate or irregular regulation, and more volatile performance. Foreign financial markets may also have fewer investor protections. Foreign companies may also

Annual Report | 36

AZZAD FUNDS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

JUNE 30, 2022

receive less coverage than U.S. companies by market analysts and the financial press. These factors may prevent the Wise Fund and the Adviser from obtaining information concerning foreign companies that is as frequent, extensive, and reliable as the information available concerning companies in the U.S. There is also the risk of confiscation, taxation, currency blockage, or political or social instability.

Changes in the laws of the Cayman Islands, in which the Wise Fund makes investments could negatively affect the Wise Fund and its shareholders. For example, the Cayman Islands does not currently impose any income, corporate or capital gains tax, estate duty, inheritance tax, gift tax or withholding tax on entities organized in the Cayman Islands in which the Wise Fund may invest. If Cayman Islands law changes such that a Cayman Islands entity must pay Cayman Islands taxes, Wise Fund shareholders would likely suffer decreased investment returns. Further, entities organized in the Cayman Islands are generally not registered under the 1940 Act and is not subject to all of the investor protections of the 1940 Act.

Concentration Risk: To the extent the Fund’s investments are concentrated in a particular sector or group of sector, the Fund may be susceptible to loss due to adverse occurrences affecting that sector or group of sectors.

Technology Sector Risk: Investment risks associated with investing in the information technology sector, in addition to other risks, include the intense competition to which information technology companies may be subject; the dramatic and often unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for qualified personnel among information technology companies; effects on profitability from being heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights and the loss or impairment of those rights; obsolescence of existing technology; general economic conditions; and government regulation.

Note 8.

Tax Matters

As of June 30, 2022, the tax basis components, unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and cost of investment securities were as follows:

	Ethical Fund	Wise Fund
Federal tax cost of investments, including short-term investments	$100,241,047	$204,422,999
Gross tax appreciation of investments	$ 18,645,777	$   4,439,512
Gross tax depreciation of investments	$(16,702,976)	$ (6,321,244)
Net tax appreciation (depreciation)	$    1,942,801	$ (1,881,732)

Income and long-term capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Funds’ tax basis capital gains and losses and undistributed ordinary income are determined at the end of each fiscal year. As of June

30, 2022 the Funds’ most recent fiscal year-end, components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

	Ethical Fund	Wise Fund
Unrealized appreciation     (depreciation) on investments	$   1,942,801	$(1,881,732)
Undistributed ordinary income (loss)	-	5,284
Post-October capital loss deferral	(1,058,863)	-
Post-December net investment loss	(401,681)	-
Undistributed long-term capital gains	63,641	99,466
	$      545,898	$(1,776,982)

Under current tax law, certain capital losses realized after October 31, and certain ordinary losses realized after December 31 but before the end of the fiscal year (“Post-October Losses” and “Late Year Losses”, respectively) may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first business day of the following fiscal year. The Ethical Fund incurred and elected to defer $1,460,544 of such late year losses.

The Ethical Fund has recorded a reclassification in the capital accounts. As of June 30, 2022, the Ethical Fund recorded permanent book/tax differences of $536,409 from net investment loss to paid-in-capital. This reclassification has no impact on the net asset value of the Fund.

The Funds paid the following distributions for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

Ethical Fund
Year Ended	$ Amount	Tax Character

Distribution Plan

The Funds maintain that certain Amended and Restated Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, that allows each Fund to pay distribution expenditures incurred in connection with the sale and promotion of such Fund and the furnishing of services to shareholders of the Fund.  The Plan provides that the Fund may pay up to a maximum on an annual basis of 0.15% and 0.05% of the average daily value of the net assets of Ethical Fund and Wise Fund, respectively.  Under the Plan,  permitted expenditures include: (a) payments, including incentive compensation, to securities dealers or other financial intermediaries, financial institutions, investment advisers and others that are engaged in the sale of Shares, or that may be advising shareholders of the Fund regarding the purchase, sale or retention of Shares; (b) payments, including incentive compensation, to securities dealers or other financial intermediaries, financial institutions, investment advisers and others that hold Shares for shareholders in omnibus accounts or as shareholders of record or provide shareholder support or administrative services to the Fund’s shares and their shareholders; (c) expenses of maintaining personnel (including personnel of organizations with which the Trust has entered into agreements related to the Plan) who engage in or support distribution of Shares or who render shareholder support services, including, but not limited to, allocated overhead, office space and equipment, telephone facilities and expenses, answering routine inquiries regarding the Trust, processing shareholder transactions, and providing such other shareholder services as the Trust may reasonably request; (d) costs of preparing, printing and distributing prospectuses and statements of additional information and reports for each Fund’s shares for recipients other than existing shareholders; (e) costs of formulating and implementing marketing and promotional activities, including, but not limited to, sales seminars, direct mail promotions and television, radio, newspaper, magazine and other mass media advertising; (f) costs of preparing, printing and distributing sales literature; (g) costs of obtaining such information, analyses and reports with respect to marketing and promotional activities as the Trust may, from time to time, deem advisable; and (h) costs of implementing and operating the Plan. The Trust is authorized to engage in the activities listed above, and in any other activities related to the distribution of Shares, either directly or through other persons with which the Trust has entered into agreements related to the Plan.  Because these expenses are paid out of each Fund’s respective assets on an ongoing basis, over time these expenses may increase the cost of a shareholder’s investment and may cost a shareholder more than paying other types of sales charges.  For the year ended June 30, 2022, the Ethical Fund incurred $203,352 in distribution fees and the Wise Fund incurred $107,306 in distribution fees.

Note 10.  Control and Ownership

The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a Fund creates a presumption of control of the funds under Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act.  As of June 30, 2022, Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), in aggregate, owned approximately 56% and 74% of the shares of the Ethical Fund and the Wise Fund, respectively, for the benefit of others. As a result, Schwab may be deemed to control both Funds.

Annual Report | 39

AZZAD FUNDS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

JUNE 30, 2022

Note 11.  Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, each Fund enters into contracts that contain general indemnification to other parties. A Fund’s maximum exposure under these contracts is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Note 12. Market Risk

Overall market risks may affect the value of the Funds. Factors such as domestic economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels and political events affect the securities markets. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issue, recessions and depressions, or other events could have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments and could result in increased premiums or discounts to the Fund’s net asset value, and may impair market liquidity, thereby increasing liquidity risk. The Funds could lose money over short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns.  During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Changes in market conditions and interest rates can have the same impact on all types of securities and instruments.

The impact of COVID-19, and other infectious illness outbreaks that may arise in the future, could adversely affect the economies of many nations or the entire global economy, individual issuers and capital markets in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. In addition, the impact of infectious illnesses in emerging market countries may be greater due to generally less established healthcare systems. Public health crises caused by the COVID-19 outbreak may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks in certain countries or globally.

Note 13. New Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2021-01 "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)".  ASU No. 2021-01 updates and clarifies ASU No. 2020-04, which provides optional, temporary relief with respect to the financial reporting of contracts subject to certain types of modifications due to the planned discontinuation of LIBOR and other interbank-offered reference rates.  The temporary relief provided by ASU No. 2021-01 is effective immediately for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur through December 31, 2022.  Management does not expect ASU No. 2021-01 to have a material impact on the financial statements.

Note 14. Subsequent Events

On July 29, 2022, the Wise Fund paid shareholders of record at July 28, 2022, a net investment income distribution of $257,266, equivalent to $0.012769 per share. Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events through the date the financial statements were available to be issued and has determined that there were no additional subsequent events requiring disclosure in the financial statements for the Funds.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

  To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees

  The Azzad Ethical Fund and Azzad Wise Capital Fund,

   each a Series of the Azzad Funds

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Azzad Ethical Fund (the “Ethical Fund”) and Azzad Wise Capital Fund (the “Wise Fund”), each a series of The Azzad Funds, (the “Funds”), including the schedules of investments, as of June 30, 2022, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”) and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of June 30, 2022, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.  The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting.  As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities and cash owned as of June 30, 2022, by correspondence with the custodian, clearing organizations and banks.  Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

EXPENSE ILLUSTRATION

JUNE 30, 2022 (UNAUDITED)

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, January 1, 2022 through June 30, 2022.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During the Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in these Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Ethical Fund
	Beginning Account Value	Ending Account Value	Expenses Paid During the Period*
	January 1, 2022	June 30, 2022	January 1, 2022 to June 30, 2022

Hypothetical
(5% Annual Return before expenses)	$1,000.00	$1,019.89	$4.96
* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio of 0.99%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Wise Fund
	Beginning Account Value	Ending Account Value	Expenses Paid During the Period*
