In this episode of the Islamically Correct podcast, we sit down with Gheida Abdala Omar, a young innovator whose relationship with money was shaped early by scarcity, resilience, and faith. Growing up in Malindi, Gheida experienced firsthand what it meant to dream while lacking financial security from struggling with school fees to relying on scholarships throughout her education.

She shares how being the first in her family to complete her studies changed the way she viewed money, responsibility, and independence. Gheida opens up about the moment her financial reality shifted after winning the Presidential Innovation Award, receiving KES 500,000, and how that experience taught her the power and responsibility of wealth when guided by purpose.

Today, as the founder of GiSave, Gheida is intentionally building halal wealth while reinvesting it into empowering young people through STEM education. This conversation explores money mistakes, financial growth, breaking generational cycles, and the role of faith in creating barakah. It’s a powerful reminder that money, when aligned with intention and iman, can become a tool for impact far beyond yourself.

In this episode of Islamically Correct, we sit with Salma Yusuf, an award-winning civic leader, creative writer, and designer, for a deeply honest conversation about money, purpose, and faith. Born in Kilifi County and raised in Malindi, Salma grew up in a humble home where there wasn’t much materially, yet there was always barakah. Despite financial limitations, her family was never left wanting; there was food on the table, contentment, and a quiet trust in Allah’s provision. Salma shares her earliest encounters with money, including earning her first KES 10,000 from baking. At the time, it felt like a life-changing amount, yet without financial literacy, the money quickly slipped away. It became her first lesson that money alone isn’t enough; understanding and intention matter just as much. She reflects on choosing experiences over income, volunteering without pay, and trusting that not every opportunity comes with money, but many come with growth. Those choices later opened doors to fully funded opportunities, international travel, and a life she couldn’t have imagined for herself. Her true financial awakening came while studying in the UK, where economic realities forced her to think differently about survival, independence, and long-term stability. It was there that her mindset around investing shifted, and the idea for her Airbnb was born, rooted in her desire to ensure no one feels stranded or without shelter, as she once did. Salma also speaks openly about her journey as a writer from self-publishing to working with a publisher and reminds us that creativity holds real financial value when your craft is strong and your intentions are sincere. As the episode closes, she returns to faith as her anchor, sharing the power of istighfar, salawat upon the Prophet ﷺ, and Surah Al-Baqarah in bringing ease, provision, and solutions to debt. Her story is a reminder that wealth isn’t just about numbers; it’s about trust, purpose, and barakah. 🎙 Hosted by Maya Ali📍 Islamically Correct Podcast

In this inspiring episode of Islamically Correct, we sit down with Dr. Muhyiddin Mohamed, a doctor, aesthetic practitioner, and young Kenyan entrepreneur whose journey is rooted in barakah, discipline, and purpose.

Growing up between Nairobi and Mombasa, Dr. Muhyiddin was raised by a strong mother who shaped his work ethic early—from helping her run a small restaurant to learning the value of service. Although he didn’t choose medicine at first, a family illness and his father’s insistence pushed him into the field… a decision that later became his blessing.

After studying medicine in Uganda, he returned to Kenya during COVID and began his internship at a government hospital, earning 150K — a salary he says “never had barakah.” But later, a private hospital job with much less pay brought him barakah, stability, and clarity.

With $20,000 saved and gifted by his mother, Dr. Muhyiddin and his family opened Damal Hospital, a healthcare center built on the principle of putting patients first. For him, barakah comes from sincere service, dua, and the prayers of the people he treats. This episode is a beautiful reminder that success is not just strategy—it’s service, sincerity, and the blessings of Allah.
