Asalamun alaykum y’all,i’m here again on behalf of one of our sister who urgently needs surgery for severe fibroids. The total cost is 1.7M and her family has sacrificed everything they can and alhamdulillah they have 1M already and we are left with 700k
The doctors have warned
I think I'm starting to understand why adults disappear.
You're trying to balance work, life, your deen, family, friendships... everything, all at once. Then you look up and wonder where all the time went...
Sigh... Khayr, bi idhniLlaah.
I logged into Facebook today and came across an update about the daughter of #Shaykh Qamarudeen, who is currently battling a serious illness and urgently needs treatment costing over ₦40 million. The truth is, my heart sank. I felt a deep pain, just as I often do whenever I hear of people facing such trials. What affected me even more was that this appeal had to be made publicly.
One would have hoped that members of our Muslim community would have quietly taken care of this behind the scenes, considering the immense dedication, sacrifices, and years of service this Shaykh has continually rendered to Muslims around the world. Wallahi, if I had the entire amount, I would give it without hesitation and without expecting even a word of thanks. We can never truly repay those who sincerely dedicate their lives to serving the dīn and benefiting the Ummah.
To my wealthy brothers and sisters, and to those with little to give, let us all come together and, by the permission of Allah, bring a smile to our Shaykh's face during this difficult time. No donation is too small when given sincerely for the sake of Allah. May Allah ease their affairs, complete the required amount without further delay, grant the child complete shifāʼ (healing), and reward everyone who contributes abundantly. Āmīn.

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. 🤍
To all the women under that academic thread.
One sentence for you all- Loke Loke Lola Kunfayakun.
You all will not fall or stumble and it will keep getting better for you.
I’m super duper inspired ❤️
