He also shares the heartbreaking story of his brother being arrested at just 16 years old and spending nine months in prison because his family couldn't raise KSh 3,000 for bail and how that experience changed his brother's life.We also explore Hamza's journey back to Islam, his first jobs, marriage, money, public speaking, entrepreneurship, mentorship and the life-changing decision that eventually set him on a completely different path.This is more than a money story.

    He Treated Patients in Kenya... Now He's Inside the Most Powerful Pharma Company! EP 28

    Assalam alaikum and welcome back to another episode of Islamic Correct with your host, Maya Ali! In today's episode, we have an honest conversation about faith, finance, and life with Dr. Abdulrizak Hassan, a physician, clinical trial expert, and medical director of clinical development at BioNTech. Dr. Abdulrizak shares his incredible journey, starting from a humble middle-class upbringing in Nairobi where he lived with his parents and seven siblings. He discusses how the scarcity of money in the late 90s and 2000s taught him the value of hard work, and surprisingly reveals that he initially wanted to study law to advocate for Muslim students' rights before his family advised him to pursue medicine. He breaks down his educational journey, including securing a full scholarship to the International University of Africa in Sudan where tuition, food, and accommodation were covered. Returning to Kenya during a 100-day doctors' strike, he shares his struggles of hustling for locum shifts before eventually treating critical patients in the ICU and oncology units at Kenyatta National Hospital. Throughout the interview, Dr. Abdulrizak beautifully ties his medical practice back to his Islamic faith, noting that while doctors provide the tools and medicine, true healing comes only from Allah. Finally, he explains his major career pivot into the global pharmaceutical industry following a fellowship in Germany, and his ongoing mission to bring cutting-edge clinical trials to patients across Africa.Key Topics Covered in This Episode: Growing up in Nairobi and learning the true value of money and inflation. The journey of studying medicine in Sudan on a full scholarship. Surviving a 100-day doctors' strike in Kenya and hustling for early career income. Treating critical patients in the ICU and radio-oncology units at Kenyatta National Hospital.How being a Muslim changes a doctor's perspective on life, death, and healing. Pivoting from clinical hospital work to the pharmaceutical industry. The critical importance of establishing clinical trial sites in Africa to give patients free access to cutting-edge drugs.Connect with our Guest: You can find Dr. Abdul Razak Hassan (under Abdulrizak Hudow) on LinkedIn.Support the Podcast:Please don't forget to subscribe, like, and share!If you are listening on Spotify, please follow and rate us.Want to be a guest or recommend someone?
