Friday Ummah Night – Debt Free Muslims
ISOC will be hosting a seminar by DebtFreeMuslims.
DebtFreeMuslims is a Qalam Institute project led by Omar Usman and Adam Taufique, under the scholarly supervision and consultation of Shaykh Abdul Nasir Jandga.
Their goal is simple: to help Muslims become debt free. Lack of awareness about basic financial planning, something even as simple as budgeting, is one of the biggest reasons people fall in debt. DebtFreeMuslims offers financial counseling and education.
Program topics include: Islamic view of wealth, debt/interest, barakah in wealth, and how do we know what decisions to make about our finances, budgeting, how to pay off debt, college finances and student loans.
You can learn more about DebtFreeMuslims by visiting their website.
