Our Story
From the writings of Zahra Gokal (@zahragkl) , Author of the UH CoogLife Newsletter (@cooglife):
“As a society today, we live under capitalism in the United States, and in the East is communism. But there’s a beauty within Islam… everything is fair,” Tazimuddin said. “Everything is equal.”
“When I first came to UH, I was looking for a business org I could fit into,” said Shekhani. “As a Muslim looking at these different orgs, I didn’t feel like I could fit into any. Hearing about this org automatically makes people feel welcome.”
“Seeking the lawful (wealth) is obligatory upon every Muslim,” Qavi said as a teaching from their mother learned from the prophet of Islam, Muhammad. “For example, the consequences of riba (interest), scamming… we’re going against everything,” Qavi said. “We’re trying to teach how to do it all properly.”
