Surah Al-Asr: The Power of Islamic Finance
Sep 08, 2023
As-Salaam-Alaikum, and welcome to Muslim Women Invest! I'm your host, Dr. Miral Khalil, and I am thrilled to be sharing about the power of Islamic finance and how it can change the trajectory of your life.
Why Should You Listen to Me?
Now, the first question that comes to your mind is probably, “Who is this woman and why should I listen to her?” Well, let me tell you…
- I'm a veteran investor who was brought up in a family where all women were investors, including my mother and my aunts, who learned the importance of investing from their mother and my grandmother.
- In me, you have three generations of investing advice to draw from, and the proof is in the pudding; I have helped over 150 families take the path to financial freedom!
- I have made and seen most mistakes that new investors make. This means that not only do I understand exactly how you're feeling right now, but I can also help you skip the regret lane and jump straight onto the fast lane to financial freedom.
Building the Foundation for Generational Wealth and Well-Being
Like I said, I came from a family of women investors…mothers, aunts, grandmother, etcetera.
I was fashioned to educate on investing according to Islamic finance principles. I was primed to teach you. And it is extremely critical that we have strong financial women teachers in front of us, because what you cannot see, you cannot be.
If I had listened to all the naysayers that told me to stay in my lane, I would have never found the financial freedom I enjoy today. I am able to homeschool my kids, afford house help, not have to think of a budget when I make travel plans every month, private lessons for my kids…the list goes on.
Moreover, I know that the education and the financial literacy that I am imparting to my children will never be lost, because they have a strong example in their mother. They also have a strong start financially, Alhamdulillah.
My mission is to help you achieve your financial goals through Islamic finance, no matter how small or big they are.
One of my biggest passions is ensuring that women have the means to protect themselves, preserve their dignity, and do the same for their families. You and I have both known women who were trapped in a bad relationship or in a domestic abuse situation because they had no money to escape.
You do not want to be in a position where you cannot say no to something that threatens your dignity. And you don't want the same for your kids.
Changing Your Trajectory Through Islamic Finance
Now you, my friend, are here because you want to change the financial trajectory of your life.
Maybe you're looking to buy a house, save for a wedding, or even plan for an early retirement. You will find my seasoned advice to be an anchor when learning how to invest feels chaotic and overwhelming.
I have created a system that allows me to work only 20 minutes a day, and I'm done. It is that easy, and I teach it to my clients and my students.
You are in the right place. Together, we will talk about everything concerning finance, all while proudly sticking to the teachings of Islamic finance.
As you begin this journey, remember this: you come from greatness and have the power to make change happen. Do not forget that the angels bow to you, and you are the best of creation.
I chose Surah Al-Asr as the intention behind my business because Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala, our creator, reminds us that all humanity is a loss except for those who give good, honest, solid advice and advise patience.
Islamic finance may seem to cause losing out on such big opportunities to the untrained eye, because you cannot invest in anything harmful or prohibited. In actuality, the more years I spend studying Islamic finance, the more I realize that the things prohibited in Islam are for the greater good. Great evil has come from us investing in gambling, alcohol products, nicotine products, and more.
So, gather your investing buddies and let this be an open challenge to everyone: the Islamic finance model can beat any financial model any day, every day, easy. And I am here to be proven wrong or proven otherwise.
Do not forget to comment below and let me know what topics you’d like me to speak about in the future.
I will be back next week with another post. In the meantime, my friend, stay safe and come ready to bust all of your investing myths that are keeping you from investing.
In the meantime, as Amy Porterfield says, let go of what is comfortable and step into what's possible. I cannot wait to guide you on this journey.
