You Were Lied To: Business Isn’t for Making Money
Let that sink in. Business isn’t for making money. That’s what we’ve been told, sold, and hypnotized by. But when you peel back the noise and return to the roots not the capitalistic ones, but the divine ones it’s crystal clear: business is for obeying Allah. Sounds wild? That’s only because we’ve been programmed to…

“O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm for Allah, witnesses in justice, and do not let the hatred of a people prevent you from being just.” Qur’an 5:8 There’s a powerful moment in parenting that tests you.

Scarcity Is a Lie: The Hidden Mindset Sabotaging Your Rizq, Peace, and Purpose
We don’t always say it out loud, but many of us feel it deeply: “If they win, I lose.” “If they launched it first, I missed my chance.” “If I don’t grab this now, I’ll be left behind.” That’s the voice of scarcity. And it’s quietly eating away at your soul, your creativity, your peace…
Soft Skills vs. Hard Skills: What Actually Builds a Life Worth Living?
If you’ve ever hired someone, worked with a team, or even just tried to get a project across the finish line you’ve felt the difference. Hard skills can get the job done. Soft skills determine whether anyone wants to do it with you again. We don’t talk about this enough. We’ve built a world obsessed…

It was just after Fajr. The house was still kids asleep, the wind outside doing its usual Cape Doctor tantrum. I stepped outside with a cup of rooibos, barefoot, feeling that cold Gordon’s Bay dew soak straight through my socks. Classic mistake. But it woke me up properly. As I looked out across the garden…
