Together, we can grow a community of financially empowered Muslim women, who are able to make informed financial decisions that align with their values and aspirations.
Now it's time to turn that income into generational wealth.
Muslim women are more educated than ever.
We are earning higher incomes than ever.
Investing is a key component of our lives. Workplace retirement funds, the interest that accumulates in savings accounts, and your plan for retirement all involve investing.
It is essential for us as Muslim women to understand these investing terms and to be able to make our financial decisions from a place of empowerment.
This program is not about just the profits
This is a space for you to gain the confidence to make informed financial decisions. Whether you want to ensure your investments are BDS friendly, you want to invest in companies that align with your values or simply choose an investment product that matches your ethics.
You’ll learn to set clear financial goals and take proactive steps towards achieving them.
We believe in empowering Muslim women to become confident investors.
Being a woman of faith and being wealthy are not mutually exclusive. In fact, more money in the hands of good people will only spread more money to those who truly need it.
You get the knowledge and tools you need to invest consistently, regardless of your starting point or previous experience.

Navigating the world of investments can be complex.
With over a decade of dedicated experience in finance, I bring both personal experience and professional expertise to the Halal Investing Program. My journey began from challenging beginnings—starting out in debt at 18, where I began my own financial transformation.
By investing 10% of my income consistently, I laid the foundation for my financial future. At 24, I achieved a significant milestone by purchasing my first property, followed by a second at 26.
With an undergraduate degree in finance, I grew my skills and knowledge, leveraging my academic background to navigate the world of investments. My professional career includes nearly a decade at Canada’s largest bank, where I gained invaluable insights into investment and money management strategies.
As the founder of The Intentional Currency, I’ve had the privilege of empowering hundreds of Muslim women to begin their own investment journeys, growing their financial independence and security through our guidance and support.

The additional layer of avoiding interest makes it even more complicated. It's no wonder so many Muslim women feel overwhelmed by the idea of having to manage their personal finances and their investments.
When I got my first job and HR asked me which portfolio I wanted to choose for my retirement, it was my first time seeing the words "growth," or "income" portfolio.
It's often only when big life changes happen and we have to take an honest look at our finances that we realize how much our financial decisions are impacting our lives. Inflation, rent, and other living expenses can make achieving financial goals seem impossible - but investing is what will empower you to create options for yourself.
The option of retiring early, or covering the education costs for your kids, of caring for your parents, of purchasing a property or traveling the world.
The fear of making mistakes, losing money, or unintentionally engaging in Haram investments can be paralyzing.
When it comes down to it, most Muslim women feel on their own when it comes to researching options for their investments. And between balancing work and personal responsibilities, financial management can feel like an impossible task.
The path to financial independence seemed confusing and full of obstacles for me as a Muslim woman.
Things started to change when I realized nobody else was going to come in and manage my money for me...
I knew I did not want to end up living pay check to pay check like my parents. I decided to take control of my own financial future.
I learned how to pay zakat on my stocks and how and when to purify my investments each year.
With a lot of trial and error, I began to understand how to grow wealth while ensuring my investments were Halal.
I started learning from trusted mentors and reading more about Halal investing.

You don’t need to have thousands saved up to start your investment journey. In fact, the earlier you start, the more time your money has to grow through the power of compounding. Our program teaches you how to build an investment strategy that fits your budget and helps you achieve your financial goals, even if you’re starting small.
While managing debt is crucial, waiting until it’s completely paid off can delay your wealth-building goals. Our program provides strategies for balancing debt repayment while still investing for your future. We’ll show you how to create a plan that allows you to manage your debt effectively while simultaneously growing your wealth.
All investments carry some level of risk, but not investing can be even riskier in the long run. Without growth, your money loses value due to inflation. Our program focuses on educating you about different levels of risk and how to choose investments that align with your risk tolerance and values. We empower you to make informed decisions and minimize unnecessary risk.
Investing might seem intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be complicated. The Halal Investing Program breaks down financial jargon into simple, actionable steps that are easy to follow. Plus, with our live coaching sessions, private group support, and ongoing resources, you’ll have guidance every step of the way. You don’t have to navigate this alone.
We get it—life is busy. That’s why our program is designed with flexibility in mind. You’ll have access to pre-recorded lessons that you can watch on your own schedule, bi-weekly live coaching sessions, and a supportive community to help you stay on track. We make it easy for you to learn at your own pace while still making progress.
