Moving Is the Easy Part. Sustaining It Is Where Most Fail.

Join a mentorship with a 97% Success Rate, No Excuses Left For Hijrah Begin The RemoteRizq Guided Mentorship: Join The Best FREE Appointment Setting Skool Community: Everyone talks about the good side of remote income. Tonight we're talking about the ugly side too. Aqib Abdul Kareem is a Muslim entrepreneur who left his 9-to-5, broke into a skill called appointment setting, built his own agency, and now coaches Muslims toward one thing: an income that can actually travel with them. But his content doesn't sell the dream, it sets the expectations. Mental dips. Resistance. Commission-only work that pays only if you put in the work. The terrifying decision to leave a salary behind. Here's the truth he's seen over and over from brothers across the US, UK, Canada, and Australia: making hijrah is the easy part. Sustaining it is where families fail. Too many land in a Muslim country underprepared.

Don't Leave Your 9-5 for Remote Work Until You Hear This

Join a mentorship with a 97% Success Rate, No Excuses Left For Hijrah Begin The RemoteRizq Guided Mentorship: Join The Best FREE Appointment Setting Skool Community: In this podcast we sit down with Abdul Aqib, founder of Remote Risk, to discuss one of the biggest obstacles Muslims face when trying to make Hijrah: building an income that can move with them. Abdul Aqib shares his journey from the 9-5 into remote sales and appointment setting, and why he believes developing a portable income can provide Muslims with a more realistic pathway toward Hijrah. But this isn't a get-rich-quick conversation. We discuss the side of remote work that often gets left out, including fluctuating income, commission-based work, unrealistic expectations, the months it can take to develop a skill, and why leaving your 9-5 too early can be especially risky if you have a family depending on you. We also break down.

How to Land Your First AI Client Without Quitting Your Job — Zaurbek Returns

Learn more about the program and qualify for the free Umrah offer here: Two days ago, Zaurbek from Ummah Accelerator broke down how Muslim professionals are building online AI agencies, selling automation to small businesses, outsourcing the build to Muslim developers overseas, and doing it in two to three hours a day without quitting their jobs. That video answered "what is this?" Tonight answers "how do I actually start?" Because the hardest part isn't understanding the model. It's the first client. Before you land one, you have a project. After you land one, you have a business, a case study, a testimonial, and a door into every competitor of theirs. Zaurbek is back to walk through exactly how that first deal happens. In this live, we'll get into: • The first 30 days: picking your offer, building a simple website, and what to do each week • How to find.

These Hijrah Mistakes Can Destroy Your Plan to Stay

For a remote work opportunity that is helping many brothers make Hijrah, go to: Muslim Settify Youtube Channel: In this video, Omar Sherrer talks about 10 problems Muslims can face after making Hijrah and relocating to a new country, including the honeymoon phase wearing off, language barriers, problems between spouses, unstable income, residency issues, difficulty building relationships with locals, constantly comparing your new country to the West, children struggling to adjust, unexpected healthcare costs, and responsibilities pulling you back home. He explains why Hijrah should not be viewed as the solution to every problem and why preparing for these challenges before you move can make it easier to deal with them when they eventually arise. If you’re considering Hijrah or already living abroad, these are important realities to understand if you want to build a stable life and avoid problems that could eventually cause you to abandon your Hijrah.

Muslims Are Making Thousands Selling AI to Businesses

Learn more about the program and qualify for the free Umrah offer here: In this video we sit down with Zaurbek, a former software developer who left his six-figure tech career to build an AI agency business he could run from anywhere. We discuss why he believes AI is both a threat to traditional employment and a major opportunity for Muslims looking to become location independent. He talks about: how AI agencies make money, landing clients worth thousands of dollars, starting while working a 9 to 5, outsourcing the technical work, real results from his students, what separates those who succeed from those who don't, and how building an independent income can give Muslims more freedom to make Hijrah and live where they want.

He's Traveled the World Looking for Home. Here's What He Found.

Launch your AI career and land a job in 8-12 months, or your first client within 6 weeks - Most people dream about it. He actually did it. Years ago he built a skill that lets him work from anywhere on earth, and then he used it. Country after country. City after city. Living, not visiting. Not as a tourist passing through, but as a Muslim looking for one thing: a place to call home. He's still looking. And tonight he's telling us what he learned along the way, the places that surprised him, the ones that disappointed him, and why "I can live anywhere" turned out to be harder than it sounds. Because location independence is the freedom everyone wants right now. Earn in a strong currency, live where your money stretches, take your family wherever your deen is easiest. But there's a side of that life the highlight.

They Call Us "Hijrah Bros." Here's What They Won't Say About Staying in the West.

The argument goes like this: Which Muslim country are you even talking about? The ones that vet your khutbah? The ones that restrict enjoining good and forbidding evil? The ones normalizing relationships with an oppressive state? At least in the West, you're still free to practice, to preach, to establish your own prayers. And honestly, some of that is fair. Some Muslim countries do restrict religious speech. Normalization is real. We're not going to pretend otherwise. But there's a word in that argument doing a lot of heavy lifting: "still." You're STILL free in the West. Tonight we're going to test that word against the record. A Columbia graduate with a green card, taken from his lobby coming home from iftar. A doctoral student pulled off a Boston street on her way to break her fast, for an op-ed. Five bills introduced in Congress that would effectively ban the practice.

Earn in Dollars, Live in a Muslim Country

For a remote work opportunity that is helping many brothers make Hijrah, go to: Muslim Settify Youtube Channel: In this video, Omar Sherrer talks about how Muslims can earn in stronger currencies like dollars, pounds, and euros while living in Muslim countries where their money can stretch much further. He breaks down why portable income matters before making Hijrah, the real costs of living abroad, and the visa, employment, and tax questions you need to consider. Most importantly, he explains how getting the country-to-income match right can give Muslim families more financial breathing room, more time together, and an environment better suited to their Deen.

They Say Hijrah Is Running Away. Here's What the Numbers Say.

A brother recently shared a thoughtful argument: that many Muslims are making hijrah for the wrong reasons, chasing nostalgia and ease, building comfortable enclaves overseas, and avoiding the real work of building a prophetic community. And honestly? He's not entirely wrong. Hijrah without purpose is empty. But tonight we're going to respectfully push back on the conclusion, not with emotion, but with data. Because while we debate the spiritual philosophy of migration, the environment itself has become the emergency. Consider what the numbers actually show: in the UK, hate crimes against Muslims have surged dramatically in recent years, with Muslims now targeted in nearly half of all religious hate crimes. A study of 40,000 news articles found the overwhelming majority associated Islam with something negative. In the US, anti-Muslim complaints hit their highest level in three decades. And openly anti-Muslim politics is rising on both sides of the Atlantic. This.
