Introduction As a financial consultant with 24 years of experience, I have dedicated my research to understanding the financial challenges faced by the Muslim community. My findings indicate a pressing need for financial discipline across all aspects of life, as it is a fundamental characteristic that shapes one’s behavior and success.
Current Challenges Many of our Muslim brothers and sisters are underprivileged, leading to economic slavery characterized by dependence on salaried employment and engagement in small, unorganized businesses lacking discipline. These issues have roots in the British colonial era, which relegated Muslims to the status of third-class citizens, instilling a sense of lethargy and a habit of listening to but not following through on sermons. This has perpetuated a culture lacking proper leadership and dominated by self-centered behaviors.
Impact of Western Influence The adoption of English culture among high and middle-class Muslims has further exacerbated these issues, leading to a loss of cultural identity and self-awareness. The English influence has trapped many Muslims in a cycle of imitation, causing them to forget their own existence and values.
Objective My primary objective is to eradicate this economic slavery in all its forms, fostering a sense of independence and self-organization among Muslims. By achieving this, we can pave the way for internal justice and empowerment.
Goals
1. Skill Certification Without Educational Prerequisites: Implement skill certification programs that do not require formal education, thereby providing opportunities for all individuals to gain recognized qualifications.
2. Empowering the Labor and Salaried Segment: Organize the labor and salaried segments in a structured manner, promoting ethical (halal) business strategies and practices.
3. Freedom to Explore Life: Enable individuals to explore life freely and gain independence, bringing them closer to spiritual fulfillment and alignment with Allah’s guidance by avoiding shortcuts.
Institutional Support This initiative is supported by the H.M.S. Education Society (r) and the H.M.S. Institute of Technology, represented by the Uplifter Charitable Trust. These organizations, affiliated with Visvesvaraya Technological University, Belagavi, and approved by AICTE, New Delhi, are committed to providing free, job-oriented courses at NH-4, Kesaramadu Post, Kyathsandra, Tumakuru – 572104.
By fostering financial discipline and empowering the Muslim community through education and structured support, we can break free from the chains of economic slavery and create a self-reliant, organized, and spiritually enriched society.
