DOW JONES ISLAMIC FUND

January 20, 2006

Dear shareholders:

Assalamu Alaykum (Greetings of Peace).

The Dow Jones Islamic Fund gained 4.73% in the six months ending November 30, 2005, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average increased by 3.23% (dividends omitted) and the Dow Jones Islamic Market USA Index went up 6.06% (dividends omitted). The U.S. economy grew at a respectable rate in the first three quarters of 2005, and corporate earnings were good. However, high energy prices and rising interest rates put a drag on stock market gains. In terms of sector contribution to performance, energy stocks helped the Fund, while the large capitalization technology stocks were an area of weakness.

The past year marked the sixth consecutive year that small cap and value stocks outperformed large and growth stocks, which is the longest trend since 1979. Investors have been moving to value and small-cap stocks which performed best, thus extending the cyclical pattern of style preference. Historically, periods of better performance by certain “style,” like “value,” stocks are usually followed by years of under-performance.

Many stock market analysts expect a reversal in the above trend in the coming year, and warn against the high risk of chasing past style performance. Many believe that growth stocks are now selling at attractive prices. We believe that a balanced approach among the various investment styles is the best course. In addition, we believe, a reasonable exposure to international stocks and dividend-paying stocks is advisable.

Finally, I’d like to thank you for your confidence and loyalty. Your trust is what motivates us day in and day out. We will persist in our strong commitment to ethical investing that adheres to Islamic principles and strives to achieve growth of your investment, while being prudent with the risks of the markets.

Respectfully,

Mr. Osman Signature

Dr. Bassam Osman
President, Dow Jones Islamic Fund




 
DOW JONES ISLAMIC FUND


The above discussion and analysis of the Fund reflect the opinions of the Advisor as of January 2006, are subject to change, and any forecasts made cannot be guaranteed.

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

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. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) is one of several stock market indices created by Dow Jones. The Dow Jones is a compiled index as a way to gauge the performance of the industrial component of America's stock markets. It is the oldest continuing U.S. market 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 Fund is distributed by Quasar Distributors, LLC (01/06)

DOW JONES ISLAMIC FUND
EXPENSE EXAMPLE
November 30, 2005 (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Fund, you may 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 (6/1/05 - 11/30/05).

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 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.

Line Chart

This chart assumes an initial investment of $10,000 made on June 30, 2000 (SEC effective date). Performance reflects fee waivers in effect. In the absence of fee waivers, the total return would have been reduced.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance of the fund may be lower than the performance quoted. Performance data current to the recent month end may be obtained by visiting www.investaaa.com.

The Fund invests in foreign securities which may involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. Indices mentioned are unmanaged and commonly used to measure U.S. and Foreign markets. You cannot invest directly in an index.

The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or redemptions of fund shares.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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.

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 a 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 six months ended November 30, 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 six months ended November 30, 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:

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.

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 a servicing agreement with Quasar Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”).

Effective October 1, 2005, the Advisor began to waive or reimburse the Fund if the aggregate annual operating expenses exceed 1.60% of average net assets.

Prior to October 1, 2005, the Advisor began to waive or reimburse the Fund if the aggregate annual operating expenses exceeded 1.50% of average net assets for Class K.

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 or reimbursed 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 or reimbursed the Fund for the amount of such excess.

Accordingly, for the six months ended November 30, 2005, the Advisor has waived or reimbursed expenses of the Fund in the amount of $26,846.

6. Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On July 26, 2005, Tait, Weller & Baker ceased being the Fund’s independent auditor as a result of the Board’s decision to change its accounting firm.

The reports of Tait, Weller & Baker on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two fiscal years contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.

In connection with its audits for the two most recent fiscal years, there have been no disagreements with Tait, Weller & Baker on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Tait, Weller & Baker would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the financial statements for such years.

The Fund, with the approval of its Board of Directors and its Audit Committee, engaged Cohen McCurdy, Ltd. as its new independent auditor as of July 26, 2005.

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.

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.
