    My Dad Burned Charcoal So I Could Stay in School… Now I’m a University Manager EP 32

    Her father burned charcoal to keep his children in school.There were times when the money simply wasn’t enough.Her family sold what they could. Relatives came together to help. She almost dropped out of university. And at one point, after resigning from her job without a backup plan, Zohra spent nearly two days with nothing to eat alone in her room during Ramadan, praying that Allah would open another door for her.Then an email arrived.An invitation to an interview.That moment would become part of a journey that took a girl from a humble home in Kakamega to becoming a university manager, lecturer, master’s student, charity founder, emerging author and one of the Muslims recognized among the 100 most influential in Kenya.But this episode isn’t simply about success.It’s about the people who sacrifice for us when nobody is watching.A father who kept working.Parents who believed in their daughter even when resources were scarce.Friends who woke up at night to pray for her.Strangers who helped pay her university fees.And a young woman who refused to allow where she came from to decide where she was going.Zohra sits down with Islamically Correct to speak openly about growing up with very little, struggling in school, repeating a class, nearly dropping out of university, finding her faith, earning her first KSh 13,000 salary, making mistakes with money, leaving a secure job, surviving one of the hardest months of her life and eventually stepping into a leadership position she once could never have imagined.Her story is a reminder:Your background may explain where you started.It does not have to decide where you finish.If you have ever felt behind…If your parents have sacrificed everything for you…If you are currently praying for a door to open…This episode is for you.Watch until the end.And if this conversation touches you, share it with someone who needs to hear Zohra’s story today.Subscribe to Islamically Correct for more honest conversations about faith, finance and life.#IslamicallyCorrect #MuslimStories #Zohra #Islam #Ramadan #MuslimWomen #Faith #SuccessStory #Kenya #Inspiration #MoneyStory #WomenInLeadershipHelp us spotlight meaningful Muslim money stories:👉 Suggest a guest here: https://islamicallycorrectpodcast.com/guest-applicationFollow us on:Instagram https://www.instagram.com/islamicallycorrectpodcast?igsh=MW9obzhuejl1czZlZw==TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@islamicallycorretpodcast?_r=1&_t=ZM-91rD313F4frX https://x.com/icpodkeThe Host https://www.instagram.com/throughmaya?igsh=MXA0dTJvb3gxbXIzOQ==📩 For guest features, partnerships, or inquiries:Email: islamicallycorrectpodcast@gmail.com#IslamicFinance #MuslimMoney Stories#HalalWealth💬 Join the conversation—comment, share, and let us know what you learned.⚠️ Disclaimer: Content shared is for educational purposes and does not constitute financial advice.

He spent days in custody before eventually being released without being taken to court. Years later, the experience still carried trauma — but he chose to turn that pain into purpose.From receiving a life-changing scholarship to studying Islamic law, mentoring young people, working for peace in his community, and eventually meeting the President, Imam Ali's journey is ultimately a story about redemption, faith, resilience and second chances.This is more than a money story.It is a story about what happens when someone refuses to let their past determine their future.Watch until the end.If this episode moved you, LIKE, SUBSCRIBE and SHARE Islamically Correct with someone who needs to hear this story.#IslamicallyCorrect #MuslimStories #Faith #Islam #Kenya #MuslimYouth #Inspiration #RedemptionHelp us spotlight meaningful Muslim money stories:👉 Suggest a guest here: https://islamicallycorrectpodcast.com/guest-applicationFollow us on:Instagram https://www.instagram.com/islamicallycorrectpodcast?igsh=MW9obzhuejl1czZlZw==TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@islamicallycorretpodcast?_r=1&_t=ZM-91rD313F4frX https://x.com/icpodkeThe Host https://www.instagram.com/throughmaya?igsh=MXA0dTJvb3gxbXIzOQ==📩 For guest features, partnerships, or inquiries:Email: islamicallycorrectpodcast@gmail.com#IslamicFinance #MuslimMoneyStories #HalalWealth💬 Join the conversation—comment, share, and let us know what you learned.⚠️ Disclaimer: Content shared is for educational purposes and does not constitute financial advice.
