How to own a home with zero debt is one of the standout videos in our new Entrepreneurs Unlocked series.
The video and others in the series are proving popular with Muslims who seek to navigate the entrepreneurial world whilst sticking firm to the principles of Islam.
In the series, we sit down with incredible entrepreneurs, some of whom have built businesses generating millions in revenue.
By focusing on the “boots-on-the-ground” experience of founders, Entrepreneurs Unlocked reveals founders and entrepreneurs defined by faith and social impact.
We ask questions to uncover their roadmaps to success: how they made real money, scaled their companies, stayed grounded, and gave back to their communities.
Here are three standout entrepreneurs from the series on how they’re navigating the intersection of business and faith-based ethics.

“We accidentally opened a soft drinks business”

The 26-year-old entrepreneur and director of Chaibibi shares his journey into the highly competitive soft drinks industry and offers insights on what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur — and why a get-rich-quick mindset rarely delivers lasting success!
