The Challenges We Don’t Say Out Loud
Assalamu Alaikum everyone, One thing I’ve noticed about communities like this is that many of us share the same struggles, even if we don’t always say them out loud. A brother once shared something simple but very real with me. He said he wanted to start a halal online business so he could avoid doubtful income and still support his family. He spent weeks watching videos, saving ideas, and planning but never actually started. Not because he was lazy but because he was confused. He didn’t know: - which business model was actually halal - how to start without copying haram practices - how to grow without letting money become the goal - or how to stay consistent when results didn’t come fast And I realized this isn’t just his story. It’s a lot of ours. Many of us are Trying to earn halal in a system built on shortcuts.Trying to stay sincere while chasing stability.Trying to build something beneficial without losing our focus on akhirah. So I wanted to ask openly: What’s the biggest challenge you’re facing right now when it comes to business or income while trying to keep your deen first? No debates. No judgement.Just real people sharing real struggles. May Allah place barakah in our efforts and guide us to what’s best for both this life and the next.
