Islam calls marriage a sacred trust. But what happens when money becomes the battleground?

In this powerful episode, Abdul Matin sits down with Hina Mirza, a registered psychotherapist and family counselor, to unpack how finances affect Muslim marriages — and what couples can do to heal, communicate, and thrive.

We discuss:

💡 The top 3 money conflicts Muslim couples face today

💡 Why lack of financial literacy is damaging marriages

💡 How unrealistic expectations (in-laws, Instagram, “luxury lifestyles”) create tension

💡 The ripple effects of financial arguments on children

💡 Practical steps to build transparency, empathy, and barakah in your home

Hina also shares deep insights on:

✨ Why gratitude and tawakkul are game-changers in times of financial stress

✨ The dangers of “keeping score” in dual-income households

✨ How couples can reframe money as a surface-level test, not the measure of love

➡️ Don’t let money be the silent third wheel in your relationship. This episode is a must-watch for newlyweds, seasoned couples, and families planning for the future.
