Bilal had built a thriving business. Growth was massive, revenue was soaring, and from the outside, he had achieved what most entrepreneurs dream of. But deep down, he felt a constant unease—his business was entangled in riba (interest-based finance).
At first, he justified it as a necessary step for scaling. But the more he learned, the more he realized that true success wasn’t just about financial gain—it was about purity, integrity, and earning in a way that aligned with his faith. The thought of continuing down this path weighed heavily on his conscience.
Complication
Bilal faced a brutal dilemma:
Hold on to the success he had built and keep growing, despite knowing it came with compromises.
Let go of everything and start from zero, trusting that there was a better way.
Walking away from a business at its peak seemed irrational. People around him warned against it—why abandon something so successful? The fear of losing financial security, years of hard work, and his status as a leader in his industry made the decision almost unbearable.
Resolution
That’s when Bilal turned to e°, a community of individuals committed to excellence in business, character, and faith. Through deep discussions, mentorship, and exposure to others who had chosen integrity over compromise, he gained the courage to take the leap.
With e°'s guidance, Bilal:
✅ Made the difficult decision to walk away from his existing business, despite the uncertainty.
✅ Committed to rebuilding from zero, ensuring every aspect was ethical.
✅ Started new practices to get closer to Allah, replacing fear with unwavering trust in the process.
What happened next was nothing short of extraordinary. Hardship felt enjoyable, the closeness to Allah was now pleasurable, despite the stress and pain.
Though he started from nothing, divine help began unfolding in unimaginable ways. New doors opened that he could never have foreseen. He discovered a high-impact, multimillion-dollar business idea, attracted talented people eager to join his journey, and even found investors willing to back him—not because of past success, but because of his vision and values.
Bilal’s journey proves that when you choose purity over compromise, you don’t lose—you gain in ways beyond imagination. Through e°’s support and his unwavering faith, he is now on the path to building something far greater than before—not just financially, but spiritually and ethically fulfilling.
