to all my fellow Muslim co-founders:
idk if anyone else can relate to this but ever since I quit my job and started my own company I’ve felt such an intense need for God, and literally *feel* every sujood (prayer) with sooooo much more intensity.
when I was working, every two weeks the paycheck came in. Even though it never is, my rizq (provision) felt “guaranteed”.
Now, literally everyday I am like, “dear God we are really going through it rn, please help us”.
And the truth is, it’s not that I was in any less of a position of need when I was an employee. It was just delusion that I thought I was “self-sufficient”.
as a reminder to myself verbalized: stay humble, chase substance not flash, and keep working hard.
May God grant a deep peace to you all in this life and the next.
Salaam ✌️
