🔥 The Hustle of the Sahaba: Lessons from History's Greatest Entrepreneurs

When we think about the Sahaba, we often picture warriors and scholars.

But their mentality is something we can use even in the work life.

here’s 3 ways we can use the sahaba mentality when it comes to our work 👇

1. Independence

Picture this: Abdur-Rahman ibn Awf arrives in Madinah. No money. No resources. Just skills and determination.

What's the first thing he asks? "Show me where the market is."

Not "give me a job." Not "where's the welfare office?"

The market.

2. The Power of Specialization

Each Sahabi had their specialisation.

They were known for their individual skills and personality traits.

and these were celebrated.

Focus on the skill that makes you unique.

3. The Ultimate Flex: Freedom

The Sahaba understood something crucial: true wealth isn't just about money

They structured their work around their priorities, not the other way around.

Prayer time? Business paused.

Dawah needed? They stepped up.

True wealth isn’t just about stacking coins—it’s about aligning your work with your values, and living life on your terms, with the permission of Allāh.
