Money Management & Employment Skills: A Practical Guide to Managing Work & Finances

Living in an era of constant change, there is a desperate need for Muslims and especially for Muslim youth to navigate various aspects of life using authentic Islamic knowledge. It is through this knowledge that you will find stability in a chaotic world.

This book, anchored in authentic Islamic knowledge, helps navigate life's murky waters and provides clarity and guidance for you as a Muslim youth.

Money Management and Employment Skills touches upon two important areas; managing money and acquiring and exhibiting a positive attitude at work. As you embark on this journey of life, it is wise for you to learn about handling your personal finances and career according to the framework of Islam. Many are unaware of it. This lack of knowledge can be harmful for us in this world and affect us in the Hereafter.

It is equally important to know how to be a productive Muslim at work. From using an Allah-centric approach in choosing a career to maintaining healthy work habits and relationships at work, this book will equip you to start your life on the right footing, all the while keeping Allah the center of your every decision. Deriving the guidance from the Qur'an and the example of Prophet Muhammad (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), this journey will transform the way you earn and spend your money.

This book is the second Life Skills book which is a part of our Gratitude to Allah series. This series belongs to a new Islamic Studies curriculum; a curriculum which aims to help you apply your faith to real world issues. It presents everyday, practical applications of Islam. We pray that this book helps you draw closer to Allah as you learn and apply the knowledge in this book to your daily life. Please send your feedback to iscurriculum@alhuda.org.
