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!
Dear Muslim Lady,
Be industrious.
Work diligently.
Acquire beneficial knowledge.
Earn good money through lawful means.
Own properties.
Build businesses.
Invest in your health.
Invest in valuable assets.
Be financially grounded.
Develop useful skills.
Read widely and continuously.
Save consistently.
Plan for the future.
Avoid unnecessary debts.
Support your parents.
Take care of your children.
Be a blessing to your husband if you are married.
Be independent, but never arrogant.
Be ambitious, but remain humble.
Be confident, but preserve your modesty.
Build your intellect as much as you build your appearance.
Protect your dignity.
Protect your reputation.
Choose your friends wisely.
Use social media responsibly.
Do not measure your worth by likes, comments, or validation from strangers.
Have goals bigger than fashion and trends.
Contribute positively to your community.
Give charity regularly.
Help other women rise.
Stand for truth and justice.
Fear Allah in public and in private.
Pray consistently.
Recite the Qur'an regularly.
Maintain good character.
Guard your tongue.
Guard your chastity.
Guard your heart.
Remember that beauty fades, trends change, and wealth can disappear, but faith, character, knowledge, and good deeds remain.
Strive to become a woman who is respected not merely for her appearance, but for her faith, intelligence, wisdom, compassion, integrity, and contribution to humanity.
May Allah make you among the righteous women of this world and the successful women of the Hereafter.
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. 🤍
One thing about women is no matter how terrible a man is, be it a woman beater, rapist, adulterer, pedophile, murderer etc. There is always a woman willing to partner with him, willing to save him, willing to redeem him. She has convinced herself that she is different and all she needs is to love him, and all will be well. Some women are the anchors of patriarchy. They will lay down their lives to defend their men, sons and brothers. The irony is these men will watch them perish. They don't give a damn about them. Yet, these women have convinced themselves to be saviors.
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.🤲🤲🤲🤲

Make your biggest fear unavailability of sufficient funds. Sis with plenty money na you go dey run the show for all of them. In fact, they will be bringing the gist to you fully translated where you sit, infact they will book appointments to bring gist to your house even
Money fixes most nonsense in many marriages and many polygamy. Be the wife with the most money and capacity, the rest na small thing.
Build serious capacity my Sisters. Please endeavour to be able to call the shots with serious money. Ask Allah for Massive Rizk to silence every side talks.
You will pay for all caterers at events, send servers, so many that no woman will need to raise a finger, they only supervise and arrive at events after 3pm geared up by the best designers in town. Na dem go even collect your bags and announce that 'Mummy ti de' and this has nothing to do with how old you are by the way. They will call you mummy irrespective, na your money they run am.
Please my Sisters Go and build serious capacities,develop yourselves, build your self esteems, do that course, change that career, Make Shit loads of money and above all pray ceaselessly, you will win big. That's the formula
