Assalamu alaykum all… if you have some time, have a look at this conversation with my dear brother and friend Houssam Afiouni. For me, this is what Muslim business is all about… faith, taqwa, real sincerity and giving back in the best way. The mindset that Brother Houssam has is one of a kind.

Australian event - I am pleased to be speaking at the Muslim Wealth Summit Sydney 2026, organised by Wholesum. This summit is a timely opportunity to bring together Muslim professionals, entrepreneurs, advisers, institutions and community leaders to think about wealth in a deeper way. For me, the question is not only how Muslims build wealth, but what kind of community that wealth helps to build. I am also looking forward to meeting others working across business, finance and community service, and exchanging ideas on how we can build a more connected Muslim community in Australia. Saturday, 6 June 2026 | Novotel, Sydney Olympic Park 9:30 am - 5:30 pm Early bird tickets are available until 18 May: https://salaamtix.com/e/invest-wholesum/muslim-wealth-summit-sydney-2026

Assalamu alaykum, With less than a week of Ramadan left, this is a reminder to take care of your Zakat - especially for those who are financially well off or running a business, where Zakat obligations are sometimes overlooked or misunderstood. I recorded this short session for you all to benefit from. You can watch the session here: https://youtu.be/ZfrQpG5QLKY?si=MZ15SrW9-L1l_m55 If you need to calculate your Zakat and wish to give locally (for those of you in Australia), you can do so via the National Zakat Foundation website: https://www.nzf.org.au Our team has also developed a map that shows the level of need and applications for assistance that we receive across Australia. You can explore it here: https://www.nzf.org.au/local-need/ I have also recently joined NZF as Deputy CEO. If you are interested, you can follow my journey and updates about the work we are doing through my Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/almircolan/ May Allah accept your Zakat and bless your wealth.
