Muslim Women & The Emotional Drama : Tears, Fears & Scarcity Around Money

I Don’t Care About The Money!

Isn’t that what you tell yourself and others around you, that it’s not why you do what you do?

Saying you don’t care about money is like saying you don’t care about your health, your future, or your family. It’s just not true. And if you want more money in your life, you’ve got to stop acting like you don't like it.

Women & Limited Money Beliefs

So why is it that women, who are so competent in all other areas of their lives, cannot find the same competence when it comes to matters of money?

Society & Patriarchy

For starters, we are socialized not to negotiate and tend to forgo opportunities for raising our compensation that men seize without a second thought.

Self-Doubt & Risk Aversion

More so, women are conditioned to be risk averse. We are constantly catastrophizing what may go wrong – and when it comes to money, that usually means living in fear of not having enough or of losing what we have.

Money Vs Spirituality

And worst of all is the common belief that money and spirituality can’t coexist. If you're spiritual, you shouldn't want money. People who want money are greedy and materialistic.

Breaking the Stereotypes

The Empowered Muslim Women program takes a deep dive into the complicated, dysfunctional relationship women have with money.

In this program, with her signature mix of insights, Islamic perspective, and soul-deep recognition, Dr. Kanwal Akhtar aims to equip women with the financial knowledge and emotional awareness to overcome the blocks that have kept them from making more out of the money they make.

Rich & Spiritual

If you’re are an ambitious Muslim woman who wants to make more money, this is a totally legitimate and honorable endeavor. 

And the only reason you are not making more money is because of the way you are thinking about it.

Money & Thought Work

So, whether you want more of it, never feel like you have enough of it, or feel ashamed of pursuing it, the best predictor of how much money you’ll make is your thoughts about money.

Sisters, it’s time to step up our game and stop leaving money on the table just because we are not willing to be uncomfortable. 

What’s at stake is far bigger than money itself: It’s about our sense of who we are and what we deserve. 

Imagine what the world would be like if the majority of money was in conscious hands and managed minds.
