This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund.

Portfolio Turnover [Text Block] rr_PortfolioTurnoverTextBlock
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio).  A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes for Fund shares held in a taxable account.  These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance.  During the most recent fiscal year, ending May 31, 2015, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 72.0% of the average value of its portfolio.

Expense Example Narrative [Text Block] rr_ExpenseExampleNarrativeTextBlock
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.  It assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods.  The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s net operating expenses remain the same.

Strategy [Heading] rr_StrategyHeading Principal Investment Strategies
Strategy Narrative [Text Block] rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock
The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in common stocks and equity-related securities of domestic and foreign issuers that meet Islamic principles and whose prices the Fund’s investment advisor, Allied Asset Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”), anticipates will increase over the long term.  Islamic principles generally preclude investments in certain businesses (e.g., alcohol, pornography and gambling) and investments in interest bearing debt obligations or businesses that derive interest income as their primary source of income.  The Fund may invest in companies of all market capitalizations.  Any uninvested cash will be held in non-interest bearing deposits or invested in a manner following Islamic principles.  There can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

Among the securities that meet Islamic principles, the Advisor will determine a security’s attractiveness for purchase based on a number of factors, including its anticipated value, record of earnings growth, and possible turn around, among other things.  The Advisor may invest in “growth” or “value” stocks, but it anticipates that a majority of its investments will be of the growth type.  The Fund may sell portfolio securities at any time when, in the Advisor’s judgment, their price has reached the intended target, their fundamentals have deteriorated, or there are better investment opportunities.  The Fund normally does not invest in emerging markets securities except for those traded on U.S. exchanges.
Risk [Heading] rr_RiskHeading Principal Investment Risks
Risk Narrative [Text Block] rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock
The main risks of investing in the Fund are listed below.  Like any mutual fund, you may lose money by investing in the Fund.

Market Risks:  The return on and value of your investment in the Fund will fluctuate in response to stock market movements.  Stocks and other equity securities are subject to market risks and fluctuations in value due to changes in earnings, economic conditions and other factors beyond the control of the Fund.

Management Risks:  The Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective depends on the ability of the Advisor to correctly identify economic trends and select stocks, particularly in volatile stock markets.  Also, your investment in the Fund varies with the success and failure of the Advisor’s investment strategies and the Advisor’s selection of the Fund’s portfolio securities.  If the Advisor’s strategies do not produce the expected results, your investment could decline in value.  It is possible that the Islamic principles restrictions placed on investments and reflected in the principal investment strategies may result in the Fund not performing as well as mutual funds not subject to such restrictions.

Foreign Securities Risks: The Fund’s investments in securities of non-U.S. companies (“foreign securities”) involve risks relating to adverse political, social and economic developments abroad, as well as risks resulting from the differences between the regulations to which U.S. and non-U.S. companies and markets are subject, including changes in foreign exchange rates.  Non-U.S. companies may not be subject to accounting standards or governmental supervision comparable to U.S. companies, and there may be less public information about their operations.  Non-U.S. markets may also be less liquid and more volatile than U.S. markets.  Non-U.S. markets may offer less protection to investors, and foreign companies may be subject to greater risk of expropriation of assets.  Enforcing legal rights may be difficult, costly and slow.  Transactions in foreign securities may entail higher transaction costs and various administrative difficulties.  The risks described herein are greater in emerging markets.

Growth Stock Risk:  Investing in the Fund includes the risk that growth style companies may lose value or move out of favor.  Growth style companies also may be more sensitive to changes in current or expected earnings than the prices of other stocks or may not perform as the Advisor anticipates.
Risk Lose Money [Text] rr_RiskLoseMoney Like any mutual fund, you may lose money by investing in the Fund.
