DOW JONES ISLAMIC FUND



July 15, 2005

Dear shareholders:

Assalamu Alaykum (Greetings of Peace).

The total return of The Dow Jones Islamic Fund (the “Fund”) for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2005 was 5.10%. During the same period, the Fund outperformed its benchmarks, The Dow Jones Islamic Market USA Index and the Russell 3000 Growth Index, which gained 4.72% and 2.34%, respectively (dividends omitted). The annualized three-year return ending May 31, 2005 for the Fund is 3.84%; for the same three-year period, the annualized returns of the two benchmarks mentioned above are 3.48% and 3.10%, respectively (dividends omitted). For more complete information about Fund performance please refer to the performance chart below. The Fund’s return was helped by its sizable holdings in health care stocks and detracted by holdings in technology stocks. The underperformance of technology stocks may have been due to moderating expectations for economic growth as oil prices rose and consumer confidence faltered.

U.S. stocks ended the last two months of 2004 with a respectable rally, but drifted lower after New Year’s Day.

Although the economy maintained reasonable growth, rising oil prices, higher interest rates and inflation worries took a toll on the market.

As has been the case for much of the last five years, value stocks and small cap stocks out performed growth and large cap stocks. For the first few months of 2005, these trends appeared to reverse themselves, but since April, they have returned. These trends may induce some investors to take a “contrarian” approach by shifting their investments to growth and large cap stocks. Others who are “trend followers” may be tempted to switch their investments to value and small cap stocks. Such shifting and switching often prove counterproductive, because they undermine the historically-attractive, long-term returns of a diversified stock portfolio. The fact is that no one can accurately predict when and to what extent the market will favor a particular trend.

DOW JONES ISLAMIC FUND

Some important questions are: (1) Will the U.S. and the global economy withstand the lagging effects of higher energy prices and rising interest rates, and (2) Are current market valuations reasonable? We believe the answer to both questions is yes. As we see it, economic growth should be good and business spending should make up for the potentially more sluggish consumer spending. Lower unemployment, reasonable corporate earnings growth and the pick up in merger and acquisition activity, when coupled with reasonable stock valuations, all point to a good year ahead.

Thank you for your confidence and continued investment in the Fund. As for us, we will continue in our diligent efforts to identify well-managed companies that meet Islamic ethical principles.

Respectfully,
 

Dr. Bassam Osman
President, Dow Jones Islamic Fund
 
The above discussion and analysis of the Fund reflect the opinions of the Advisor as of July 2005, are subject to change, and any forecasts made cannot be guaranteed.

The Fund invests in foreign securities which will involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods.

The Russell 3000 Index attempts to capture the return of the overall market, and is comprised of the 3000 largest and most liquid stocks based and traded in the U.S. The Dow Jones Islamic Market USA Index is a diversified compilation of U.S. equity securities considered by the Shari’ah Supervisory Board of Dow Jones to be in compliance with Islamic principles. The performance of the Dow Jones Islamic Market USA Index does not include the reinvestment of dividends. You cannot invest directly in an index.

For use only when preceded or accompanied by a current prospectus for the Fund. Mutual fund investing involves risk; principal loss is possible. The Dow Jones Islamic Fund is distributed by Quasar Distributors, LLC (07/05).

DOW JONES ISLAMIC FUND
EXPENSE EXAMPLE
May 31, 2005

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service 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 Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (12/1/04 - 5/31/05).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. Although the Fund charges no sales load or transaction fees, you will be assessed fees for outgoing wire transfers, returned checks, and stop payment orders at prevailing rates charged by U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, the Fund’s transfer agent. If you request that a redemption be made by wire transfer, currently a $15.00 fee is charged by the Fund’s transfer agent. IRA accounts will be charged a $15.00 annual maintenance fee. The example below includes, but is not limited to, management fees, shareholder servicing fees, fund accounting, custody, and transfer agent fees. However, the example below does not include portfolio trading commissions and related expenses, and other extraordinary expenses as determined under generally accepted accounting principles. 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 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 Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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 the Fund 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. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

DOW JONES ISLAMIC FUND
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
May 31, 2005

1. Organization
Allied Asset Advisors Funds (the “Trust”), an open-end management investment company, was organized as a Delaware business trust on January 14, 2000. The Trust currently offers one series of shares to investors, the Dow JonesSM Islamic Fund (f/k/a Dow Jones Islamic Index Fund) (the “Fund”), a diversified series of the Trust. Allied Asset Advisors, Inc. (“AAA”or the “Advisor”), a Delaware corporation, serves as an investment advisor to the Fund.

The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares without par value, of each series. The Trust currently offers one class of shares of the Fund: Class K. Effective October 30, 2003, the Trust terminated Class M shares.

The investment objective of the Fund seeks growth of capital while adhering to Islamic principles. To achieve the investment objective, under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in domestic and foreign securities included in the Dow Jones Islamic Market IndexesSM, as well as up to 20% of its net assets in securities chosen by the Fund’s investment advisor that meet Islamic principles. Prior to October 1, 2003, the Fund’s investment objective was to match the total return of the Dow Jones Islamic Market USA IndexSM (the “Index”) by investing substantially all of its assets in roughly the same proportions as the stocks were represented in the Index.

2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Use of Estimates: In preparing the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of 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 these estimates.

Security Valuation: Investment securities are carried at value determined using the following valuation methods:

Equity securities listed on an U.S. securities exchange or NASDAQ for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last quoted sale price on the valuation date.

Options, futures, unlisted U.S. securities and listed U.S. securities not traded on the valuation date for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the most recent quoted bid price. The Fund did not hold any such securities during the year ended May 31, 2005.

Securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the investment advisor under direction of the Board of Trustees. The Fund did not hold any such securities during the year ended May 31, 2005.

Foreign Securities: Investing in securities of foreign companies and foreign governments involves special risks and consideration not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and the U.S. government. These risks include revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of many foreign companies and foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of securities of comparable U.S. companies and the U.S. government.

Federal Income Taxes: It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and the Fund intends to distribute all of its taxable income and net capital gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Fund intends to utilize provisions of the federal income tax laws which allow it to carry a realized capital loss forward for eight years following the year of the loss and offset such losses against any future realized capital gains. At May 31, 2005, the Fund had capital loss carryovers as follows:

As of May 31, 2005, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Under current tax laws, losses realized after October 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first business day of the following fiscal year. The Fund had post-October losses, which will be treated as arising on the first day of the fiscal year ended May 31, 2005 of $255,052.

Distributions to Shareholders: The Fund will distribute substantially all of the net investment income and net realized gains that it has realized on the sale of securities. These income and gains distributions will generally be paid once each year, on or before December 31. The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from the characterization for federal income tax purposes due to differences in the recognition of income, expense or gain items for financial reporting and tax reporting purposes.

On December 30, 2004, a distribution of $.008 per share was declared for Class K shares. The dividend was paid on December 30, 2004 to shareholders of record on December 29, 2004.

On December 30, 2003, a distribution of $.011 per share was declared for Class K shares. The dividend was paid on December 30, 2003, to shareholders of record on December 29, 2003.

The tax character of distributions paid were as follows:



 
Year Ended
May 31, 2005
 
Year Ended
May 31, 2004
Ordinary income
$27,462
 
$33,209
       

Other: Security and shareholder transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income, expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class of shares except for distribution and service fees, which were unique to Class M shares.

3. Investment Advisory Agreement
The Trust has an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Advisor, with whom certain officers and Trustees of the Trust are affiliated, to furnish investment advisory services to the Fund. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, compensates the Advisor for its management services at the annual rate of 0.75% of the Fund’s daily average net assets.

The Trust has a distribution agreement and servicing agreement with Quasar Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”).
Effective October 30, 2003 the Board of Trustees terminated the Trust’s Class M Shares.

Effective July 1, 2003, the Advisor began to waive the Fund if the aggregate annual operating expenses exceed 1.50% of average net assets for Class K shares.

Prior to July 1, 2003, if the aggregate annual operating expenses exceeded 0.95% of average net assets for Class K shares, the Advisor waived the Fund for the amount of such excess. Prior to June 30, 2002, if the aggregate annual operating expenses exceeded 0.90% of average net assets for Class K shares, the Advisor waived the Fund for the amount of such excess. Accordingly, for the year ended May 31, 2005, the Advisor has waived expenses of the Fund in the amount of $49,595.

DOW JONES ISLAMIC FUND
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Trustees and Shareholders
Allied Asset Advisors Funds
Burr Ridge, Illinois

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the Dow Jones Islamic Fund (the “Fund”), a series of Allied Asset Advisors Funds, including the schedule of investments, as of May 31, 2005, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for the two years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights for the two years ended May 31, 2003 and for the period from June 29, 2000 through May 31, 2001 were audited by other auditors whose report dated July 18, 2003 expressed an unqualified opinion on the financial highlights.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (US). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of May 31, 2005, by correspondence with the Fund’s custodian. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Dow Jones Islamic Fund as of May 31, 2005, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

DOW JONES ISLAMIC FUND
DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ APPROVAL
OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT (Unaudited)

In approving the continuance of the investment advisory contract between Allied Asset Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”) and Dow Jones Islamic Fund (the “Fund”), the Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”) was advised by, and the independent trustees of the Board met in executive session with, independent legal counsel. The Board received and reviewed a substantial amount of information provided by the Advisor and third parties in response to the Board’s requests. Based on its evaluation of the information provided, the Board, at a meeting held April 18, 2005, approved continuation of the investment advisory contract for a period through June 29, 2006.

The Board reviewed and analyzed various factors in considering the contract and reaching its conclusions including each of the factors described below.

1. Nature, Quality and Extent of Services
The Board’s analysis of the nature, quality and extent of the Advisor’s service to the Fund took into account the knowledge gained from the Board’s regular meetings with the Advisor throughout the prior year. In addition, the Board reviewed information on the key personnel involved in providing investment management services to the Fund and the Advisor’s performance of other services for the Fund, such as stock selection, adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions, and monitoring compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures. The Board concluded that the nature, quality and extent of the services provided by the Advisor to the Fund were appropriate and the Fund was likely to continue to benefit from services provided under its contract with the Advisor.

2. Investment Performance of the Advisor and the Fund
In considering the performance of the Fund and the Advisor, the Board reviewed information provided by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent data service provider. The data compared the Fund’s performance with that of its peers as determined by Lipper. The performance data was for three-month, six-month, one-year, and three-year periods through March 31, 2005. For the six-month period ended March 31, 2005, Lipper ranked the Fund in the second quintile. For all the other periods ended March 31, 2005 (three-month, one-year, and three-year), Lipper ranked the Fund in the first quintile. The Board also reviewed performance information of other Shari’ah compliant mutual funds. After considering all the information, the Board concluded that, although past performance cannot be a guarantee of future performance, the Funds and their shareholders were benefiting from the Advisor’s investment management of the Fund.

3. Costs of Services and Profits Realized by the Advisor
The Board examined the fee and expense information for the Fund as compared to that of other comparable funds and noted that although the Advisor’s management fees, as a percentage of net assets, was slightly higher when compared to Lipper’s industry average, the Fund’s total expenses after waivers was slightly lower than Lipper’s industry average. The Board noted that the Fund’s Shari’ah compliant nature makes it distinct from many of the funds in its Lipper peer group. The Board also noted that between October 1, 2005 to September 30, 2006, the Advisor was proposing to reimburse the Fund for expenses over 1.60% of average net assets. In addition, the Board considered the Advisor’s costs in serving as the Fund’s investment advisor and manager. The costs include those associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage the Fund. The Board also considered the financial condition of the Advisor and the profits realized by the Advisor, noting that the Advisor is not yet profitable. The Board concluded that the management fee and the total expenses of the Fund were reasonable in light of the services provided and the performance of the Fund achieved over various time periods and that the other expenses of the Fund were also reasonable.

DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ APPROVAL
OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT (Continued)

4. Economies of Scale
The Board considered the extent to which the Fund’s management fee reflected economies for the benefit of Fund shareholders. The Board reviewed the Fund’s advisory contract, which includes breakpoints that decrease the management fee rate as the Fund’s assets increase. Based on its review, the Board concluded that the Fund’s management fee structure allowed shareholders to benefit from economies of scale as the Fund’s assets increase.

5. Other Benefits to the Advisor
The Board considered benefits that accrue to the Advisor from its relationship with the Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor did not employ soft-dollars and therefore did not benefit from brokerage commissions paid by the Fund on its brokerage transactions.

After full consideration of the above factors as well as other factors, the Board, including a majority of the independent trustees, concluded that approval of the Fund’s advisory contract was in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

The audit committee has adopted pre-approval policies and procedures that require the audit committee to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services of the registrant, including services provided to any entity affiliated with the registrant.

The following table indicates the non-audit fees billed by the registrant’s accountant for services to the registrant and to the registrant’s investment adviser (and any other controlling entity, etc.— not sub-adviser) for the last two years. The audit committee of the board of trustees has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant's investment adviser is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence and has concluded that the provision of such non-audit services by the accountant has not compromised the accountant’s independence.
