How I Quit My 6-Figure Job and Built a $190M Business

Author: Islamic Finance Guru November 18, 2025 Duration: 15:17

In 2015, I left a 6-figure job in Law to start IFG, an online education platform for Muslims.Today, I also now run Cur8 Capital our investment arm which manages over $190m.

We have a team of 43 people across 3 offices and are on track to turn profitable this year. And in this video I’m going to share exactly how IFG and Cur8 make money and how that has changed over time.

I’ll also share with you the nerve-wracking point in our journey when we almost went out of business. I’ve never shared this before publicly.



The IslamicFinanceGuru Podcasts, from the team at Islamic Finance Guru, delve into the practical and spiritual dimensions of wealth within a Muslim life. This collection moves beyond theory, offering tangible guidance on navigating modern financial landscapes in a halal manner. A central pillar is the popular Millionaire Muslim series, which breaks down concepts of halal investing, personal finance management, and building entrepreneurial ventures aligned with Islamic principles. Beyond the balance sheet, the podcast regularly integrates spirituality with material success through dedicated sessions of Qur'anic tafseer, exploring verses with direct relevance to business and economic conduct. For a broader perspective, the IFG team also gathers fortnightly to analyze current affairs, dissecting world events through a lens of faith and ethical finance. The result is a multifaceted audio resource that addresses the entire spectrum of money matters-from the technical to the spiritual-empowering listeners to build prosperity with purpose and integrity. Each episode in this podcast series is designed to equip the Muslim community with the knowledge and spiritual context to confidently engage with the financial world.
