  My Dad Burned Charcoal So I Could Stay in School… Now I’m a University Manager EP 32 04.09.2026 51min

  Her father burned charcoal to keep his children in school.There were times when the money simply wasn’t enough.Her family sold what they could. Relatives came together to help. She almost dropped out of university. And at one point, after resigning from her job without a backup plan, Zohra spent nearly two days with nothing to eat alone in her room during Ramadan, praying that Allah would open another door for her.Then an email arrived.An invitation to an interview.That moment would become part of a journey that took a girl from a humble home in Kakamega to becoming a university manager, lecturer, master’s student, charity founder, emerging author and one of the Muslims recognized among the 100 most influential in Kenya.But this episode isn’t simply about success.It’s about the people who sacrifice for us when nobody is watching.A father who kept working.Parents who believed in their daughter even when resources were scarce.Friends who woke up at night to pray for her.Strangers who helped pay her university fees.And a young woman who refused to allow where she came from to decide where she was going.Zohra sits down with Islamically Correct to speak openly about growing up with very little, struggling in school, repeating a class, nearly dropping out of university, finding her faith, earning her first KSh 13,000 salary, making mistakes with money, leaving a secure job, surviving one of the hardest months of her life and eventually stepping into a leadership position she once could never have imagined.Her story is a reminder:Your background may explain where you started.It does not have to decide where you finish.If you have ever felt behind…If your parents have sacrificed everything for you…If you are currently praying for a door to open…This episode is for you.Watch until the end.And if this conversation touches you, share it with someone who needs to hear Zohra’s story today.Subscribe to Islamically Correct for more honest conversations about faith, finance and life.#IslamicallyCorrect #MuslimStories #Zohra #Islam #Ramadan #MuslimWomen #Faith #SuccessStory #Kenya #Inspiration #MoneyStory #WomenInLeadershipHelp us spotlight meaningful Muslim money stories:👉 Suggest a guest here: https://islamicallycorrectpodcast.com/guest-applicationFollow us on:Instagram https://www.instagram.com/islamicallycorrectpodcast?igsh=MW9obzhuejl1czZlZw==TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@islamicallycorretpodcast?_r=1&_t=ZM-91rD313F4frX https://x.com/icpodkeThe Host https://www.instagram.com/throughmaya?igsh=MXA0dTJvb3gxbXIzOQ==📩 For guest features, partnerships, or inquiries:Email: [email protected]#IslamicFinance #MuslimMoney Stories#HalalWealth💬 Join the conversation—comment, share, and let us know what you learned.⚠️ Disclaimer: Content shared is for educational purposes and does not constitute financial advice.

  He Treated Patients in Kenya... Now He's Inside the Most Powerful Pharma Company! EP 28 31.07.2026 1u 6min

  Assalam alaikum and welcome back to another episode of Islamic Correct with your host, Maya Ali! In today's episode, we have an honest conversation about faith, finance, and life with Dr. Abdulrizak Hassan, a physician, clinical trial expert, and medical director of clinical development at BioNTech. Dr. Abdulrizak shares his incredible journey, starting from a humble middle-class upbringing in Nairobi where he lived with his parents and seven siblings. He discusses how the scarcity of money in the late 90s and 2000s taught him the value of hard work, and surprisingly reveals that he initially wanted to study law to advocate for Muslim students' rights before his family advised him to pursue medicine. He breaks down his educational journey, including securing a full scholarship to the International University of Africa in Sudan where tuition, food, and accommodation were covered. Returning to Kenya during a 100-day doctors' strike, he shares his struggles of hustling for locum shifts before eventually treating critical patients in the ICU and oncology units at Kenyatta National Hospital. Throughout the interview, Dr. Abdulrizak beautifully ties his medical practice back to his Islamic faith, noting that while doctors provide the tools and medicine, true healing comes only from Allah. Finally, he explains his major career pivot into the global pharmaceutical industry following a fellowship in Germany, and his ongoing mission to bring cutting-edge clinical trials to patients across Africa.Key Topics Covered in This Episode: Growing up in Nairobi and learning the true value of money and inflation. The journey of studying medicine in Sudan on a full scholarship. Surviving a 100-day doctors' strike in Kenya and hustling for early career income. Treating critical patients in the ICU and radio-oncology units at Kenyatta National Hospital.How being a Muslim changes a doctor's perspective on life, death, and healing. Pivoting from clinical hospital work to the pharmaceutical industry. The critical importance of establishing clinical trial sites in Africa to give patients free access to cutting-edge drugs.Connect with our Guest: You can find Dr. Abdul Razak Hassan (under Abdulrizak Hudow) on LinkedIn.Support the Podcast:Please don't forget to subscribe, like, and share!If you are listening on Spotify, please follow and rate us.Want to be a guest or recommend someone?

But Abdullahi Bula — founder of Nuria Bookstore — doesn't regret a single day.In this episode, Maya Ali sits down with one of Nairobi's most radical thinkers. Abdullahi pulls zero punches — on halal money, African poverty, the lies of saving, and why he believes true freedom is more important than happiness.This is one of the most honest, uncomfortable, and thought-provoking conversations we've ever had on this podcast.🔥 WHAT WE COVER:– Growing up in Garissa with a self-made, uneducated father who built a family of 14– How he accidentally entered banking and spent 8.5 years climbing to a 320K salary– Why he quit it all — and the painful reality of entrepreneurship nobody tells you– Why he doesn't believe saving builds wealth (and what to do instead)– His brutal take on whether halal money even exists in Kenya– Why African governments are "stupid" for being remote-controlled by the IMF & World Bank– The moment he had 20 bob left in his M-Pesa and almost shut everything down– How COVID became the unexpected turning point for Nuria– Why he doesn't seek happiness — only freedom💬 "I don't know if there's halal money.
