Tomorrow is Thursday.
Fast if you are able to, if not earn reward by reminding others.
Remind, for indeed, the reminder benefits the believers (Q51:55).
Baarakallahu Feekum.
They want submissive women like Khadijah, but when it comes to being financially independent like her, that’s where the line is drawn 😂😂
This double standard is loud, walahi 😭
I don’t even know why some Muslim men are triggered because a Muslim woman is strongly advising women to strive for financial independence.
What exactly is triggering about this fgs!
Here is my take on this issue.
I have read the arguments from Mummy and many of the counter arguments from some of our brothers. However, one thing I continue to notice is how many still confuse two completely separate concepts in Islamic law:
1) the right/capacity of a woman to own wealth or grow her personal wealth
2) the right of a woman to seek employment outside of her home in search of economic opportunity.
These two issues need to be separated and analyzed so we don’t lump them together.
On the first point, there is a principle of a separate financial estate, known in fiqh as Al-Dhimmah al-Maliyyah al-Mustaqillah.
This implies that when a Muslim woman marries, her legal and financial identity does not merge with her husband's. She remains a completely independent economic actor.
Surah An-Nisa, verse 32 states that men have a share of what they earn and women have a share of what they earn. This right to acquire, own, and grow wealth is unconditional.
A husband has no jurisdictional authority over his wife’s property, nor can he legally block her from generating income through investments, inheritance, or remote endeavors.
The confusion arises because people assume that earning an income automatically requires leaving the physical home and neglecting domestic responsibilities. This is a false dilemma.
A woman can run an online enterprise, manage assets, or conduct a trade from within her living space. When a woman earns from home, the argument regarding a husband's right to restrict her movement disappears because her domestic presence remains intact.
We see this clearly in the authentic tradition of Zainab bint Mu'awiyah, the wife of Abdullah ibn Mas'ud. She was a skilled artisan who manufactured and sold goods from her home to support her family. The Prophet knew of her trade, validated her independent earnings, and never commanded her to cease her financial activities.
This brings me to the second point on the fact that what if she has to go out to earn or seek external employment?
I want our brothers to listen very closely here. This is a matter that is governed by mutual contract and consent. It is not a blanket prohibition.
Under Islamic family law, a husband is strictly bound to provide complete maintenance, known as Nafaqah. In return, the classical framework establishes his right to expect her partnership in maintaining the stability of the home.
If a woman takes a corporate or retail job outside the house, the first thing we look at is the terms of the marriage.
Here, the Hanbali school explicitly rules that if a woman stipulates in her marriage contract that she would retain her right to work externally, that condition is legally binding and the husband cannot later force her to resign.
Again, if a man marries a woman who is already employed and he does not object, jurists view his silence as implied consent that cannot be arbitrarily revoked.
What if there was no stipulated agreement in the marriage contract?
Classical jurisprudence states that leaving the home for external employment requires the husband's ongoing consent.
This requirement exists because the marriage contract establishes a reciprocal system of rights. That is: his duty of unconditional financial provision in exchange for her presence and contribution to the home.
If he grants permission, her working outside is entirely permissible. Naturally, this permissibility remains bound by general Islamic ethics. This means the professional environment must respect religious boundaries and avoids unnecessary free mixing.
Also, many modern jurists emphasize that in our current economic reality, if the husband's income is insufficient to maintain the family, or
if there is a clear communal need for her specific professional skills (e.g female doctors, nurses), then, withholding this consent arbitrarily violates the Quranic mandate of treating one's spouse with kindness and equity.

Pardon?????
Any small thing, "Gen Z cannot relate".
Yen yen yen 😑😑
Do you people realize that Gen Z started from 1997?
Do you realize that the oldest Gen Z is almost 30 years old? And the youngest Gen Z is 14 years old .
If you want to call baby Shark do do, call Gen Alpha, because Gen Zs are NOT as young as you think they are.
I'm a Gen Z, I was very much aware of when the Five naira, Ten naira, Twenty naira and Fifty Naira notes were papers.
I knew when they changed it to the nylon that we now spend today.
I can vividly remember the time when they did Golden Jubilee for the #50 note.
I remember when a portion of pepper was #20, and when a cup of rice was #25 for long grain rice.
I remember when 5 eggs was #100. When Indomie was #30, when a cup of Garri was #10.
Yes, I'm a Gen Z and I remember.
Stop dragging us as if we just came into this world abeg.
There is a particular kind of manipulation that thrives in Nigerian Muslim communities and it has been so normalized that most women do not even recognize it when it is happening to them.
It sounds like this: "A woman who chases money will forget her home." "Financial independence will make her arrogant." "She doesn't need to work, that is the man's responsibility."
And because it is delivered wrapped in religion, most women swallow it whole.
But here is what nobody tells you that is not Islam. That is insecurity dressed in a jalabiya.
The Quran gave women property rights over 1400 years ago when Europe had not even conceptualized the idea. Khadijah (RA) was one of the wealthiest merchants in Mecca.
She employed the Prophet ﷺ before he became a Prophet. Her financial power never made her less of a wife, less of a Muslimah, or less of a woman. It made her one of the greatest human beings to ever walk this earth.
So when did we decide that a woman knowing her money is a threat?
I will tell you when. The moment men realized that a woman with options is a woman they cannot manipulate. Financial dependency is not modesty. It is a control mechanism. And we have been conditioned to protect it by calling it deen.
I have always believed that money is not a man's conversation it is a human necessity.
And as a Muslim woman specifically, understanding wealth is not rebellion. It is your right. It is your protection. It is quite literally built into your religion.
Nobody should have to be
Beg for maintenance, stay in a toxic marriage because they cannot afford to leave, or shrink their ambitions because a man's ego is more comfortable with their ignorance.
Women like @ronkecarew exist in this space and remind me that this is not a radical opinion. It is simply what happens when you actually read when you go back to the source instead of inheriting somebody's cultural anxiety and calling it faith.
Know your deen. Own your money. They were never in conflict to begin with. 🤍
Alhamdulillah, I cannot be gaslighted nor insulted about encouraging self sufficiency in my fellow ladies/women especially Muslim women.
Theres enough evidence to support rich , industrious , entrepreneurial and financially literate and savvy Muslim women in the Seerah of the Prophet SAW. I am named after one and so proud to use Her as a valid reason why I have insane financial/ and Rizk goals.
The Riches of Khadeejah was very useful to our Prophet and the Deen , so useful was She that the Prophet stayed the entire 27 years of their marriage without marrying another woman and He mourned Her loss in such a way that even in death His other wife was reported to be jealous of Her.
So before you come for me , Be aware that I am not a novice and I know my religion well enough to match whatever craziness you bring. I am not one of the Sisters you will gaslight.
I may choose to look away , it won't be out out of respect for you but out of protection for my own sanity or I have checked you out and firmly decided that you are not worth my efforts so I block and keep it moving .
You leave Muslim Sisters in ruin, you leave them hungry, rub them of dignity due to hunger and lack of provision and you dear moan about them wanting to improve themselves by asking Allah for help and working to sort out the mess?
Not around Me. Never will Be. An irresponsible Man will forever remain one, I have so many examples , too many.
Please stay away from me and mine. I detest abuse, especially financial abuse especially used as a weapon of control and till I shall take my last breadth I will continue to work in any capacity to get Sisters out of its rots Insha Allah .
So watch out. What you bring is what you get, Trust me I can be very Brutal if the occasion calls for it.
I didn't get Here to go back there. My Lord is very sufficient, He will bless me with massive Rizk and Barakah till I die and my
progeny too.🤲🤲🤲🤲
Boya ke koshi daanu, Awon Olofo.
A moving woman (me) will have it all. The career that fulfills her. The love that steadies her. The properties in her name. The passport full of stamps. 🤞
Fascinating that Muslim Brothers are actually insulting me because I am encouraging Sisters to Earn and become Financially independent, interesting times .
What exactly are you scared of?
So you can continue to starve them?
Sisters for your own good Be financially literate and savvy the alternative is dire and very much so.
If my message is not for you, kindly block and keep it moving .
Brothers especially irresponsible Muslim Brothers , I owe you no allegiance, None whatsoever.
I don't do sentiments with financial abusers, I won't spare you because you've destroyed many Sisters with your Gaslighting and irresponsibilities.
Those who wants to remain in your bondages can, good luck to them .
As for those that want out, the blueprint is Simple, focus on your financial life and ask Allah for help to bless your efforts. That's all.
I have been waiting for this from one of you and sadly you didn't disappoint. A Nuisance , loser and more you are for equating all these achievements we are celebrating to idiots. Those achievements are not responsible for your failures in life. Go fix yourself.
Last year, I almost lost my wife to preeclampsia during pregnancy.
In fact, last year was the first time I ever heard the word "preeclampsia."
My wife was six months pregnant when doctors discovered that both her life and the baby's life were at risk.
What followed was one of the most difficult periods of our lives.
The hospital we were using in Gwarimpa referred us to the Federal Medical Centre in Jabi.
When we got there, they explained that they did not have enough ICU capacity for a premature baby and referred us to the National Hospital, Abuja.
I immediately drove her there.
Unfortunately, part of their ICU was under maintenance and had already been fumigated.
The remaining units were full, so they could not take us.
Again, they referred us to Garki Hospital, Abuja.
By this time, my wife's condition was getting worse.
Her eyes were swollen.
Her legs were swollen.
Her face had become so swollen that she barely looked like herself.
She was exhausted, dizzy, frightened, and in pain.
Yet I kept telling her everything would be fine, even though deep down, I was terrified.
At Garki Hospital, after reviewing the scan results and referral notes, they told us the case was too critical for them to handle.
Imagine driving from one hospital to another with a pregnant woman whose life was in danger, while every hospital kept referring you elsewhere.
The most painful part was that none of the hospitals could arranged an ambulance despite seeing her in a critical condition.
I was driving and making endless phone calls, speaking with doctors that I know, speaking with friends, and anyone who could point us in the right direction.
Finally, someone suggested the Teaching Hospital in Gwagwalada.
That was our last stop and that was where we found hope.
The doctors and nurses there fought with everything they had to safe her live.
At the same time they tried to buy time and help the baby's lungs mature enough to survive after delivery or if delivered safely.
They did everything possible.
Sadly, it wasn't enough.
The injections used to accelerate the baby's lung development took a serious toll on my wife's health.
Eventually, I was asked to sign documents acknowledging any possible outcomes.
She was also prepared to go for CS.
I signed.
To this day, I can still remember that moment.
My mind was racing.
My hands were shaking.
I was preparing myself for outcomes no husband ever wants to face.
By the mercy of Allah and the dedication of the medical team she had a normal delivery and my wife's life was saved.
(But we lost our baby girl 😭 😭 😭)
There are pains that never completely leave you.
Losing a child is one of them.
Still, I remain grateful.
Grateful that my wife survived.
Grateful to the doctors and nurses at the Teaching Hospital in Gwagwalada.
They are among the finest medical professionals I have ever encountered.
And grateful to Allah for carrying us through one of the darkest moments of our lives.
Two days ago 13th of June 2026, Allah bless my family with a male child….. Alhamdulillah. 😊
Today, as I look at everything my wife endured, I have even more respect for mothers and pregnant women.
The strength they carry is beyond words.
To everyone trusting God for the fruit of the womb, may He answer your prayers.
To every pregnant woman, may Allah grant you a safe pregnancy, a safe delivery, and a healthy child.
Ameen. 🤲
