Let’s be honest, how many times have you heard, “A good girl doesn’t dream too big”? Or “Your place is in the home, not out there chasing wild ambitions”? (Cue eye roll.) If only those people actually read the Quran!
Because guess what? The Quran does NOT tell women to sit in a corner and limit themselves. On the contrary, it gives women the green light to be powerful, ambitious, and impactful! So, if you’ve been waiting for a sign from Allah to chase your dreams, this is it.
Buckle up, because here are 5 mind-blowing ways the Quran supports your ambitions (with a surprise at the end to make your journey even easier!).
1. Knowledge is a Divine Right (And Duty!)
Think learning is just for men? Think again. The very first revelation in the Quran was Iqra! (Read!) (Surah Al-‘Alaq 96:1). And it wasn’t directed only at men, it was a call for ALL of humanity.
The Quran and Hadith repeatedly emphasize the importance of seeking knowledge. Whether you want to be a scientist, a teacher, an entrepreneur, or a world-class pastry chef, go for it, sis! The Prophet (peace be upon him) even said, “Seeking knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim.” (Ibn Majah 224)
Action Step: Sign up for that online course, apply for that scholarship, or start reading that book you’ve been putting off. Your brain (and Allah) will thank you!
2. Financial Independence? The Quran Says Yes!
Let’s talk MONEY. Did you know that Islam gave women financial rights long before any feminist movement existed? You can earn, own, and invest without needing anyone’s permission (Surah An-Nisa 4:32).
Even Khadijah (RA), the first wife of the Prophet, was a successful businesswoman who didn’t sit around waiting for someone to hand her an allowance. She built an empire! And let’s not forget Balqis, the Queen of Sheba, who ruled her kingdom with intelligence and wisdom (Surah An-Naml 27:23-44).
Action Step: If money is stopping you from pursuing your dreams, start a side hustle, invest wisely, or upskill to land a better job. Financial freedom = freedom to follow your dreams!
3. Courage is a Quranic Superpower
Afraid to take risks? The Quran is filled with stories of women who broke barriers with courage. Take Musa’s mother, who defied all odds and placed her baby in a river to save his life, talk about faith and bravery! (Surah Al-Qasas 28:7)
Or Maryam (AS), who stood firm in her faith despite society’s judgment (Surah Maryam 19:16-34). If these women could overcome their fears with Tawakkul (trust in Allah), so can you!
Action Step: That bold decision you’ve been avoiding? Take it. Trust in Allah and step forward with confidence.
4. Your Voice Matters (Use It!)
Some say women should stay silent. The Quran says otherwise. Women in Islamic history were leaders, debaters, and influential figures!
The Quran even records a woman debating with the Prophet himself, Surah Al-Mujadila (58:1) tells the story of Khawla bint Tha’labah, who challenged unfair treatment and Allah revealed a whole Surah in response!
Action Step: Speak up. Start that blog, launch that YouTube channel, or advocate for the causes you believe in. Your voice is powerful. Use it!
5. Success = Faith + Action
Praying for success is great. But dua without action? That’s like expecting a plant to grow without watering it.
The Quran reminds us: “Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves.” (Surah Ar-Ra’d 13:11)
Translation? Success requires effort. Dreams don’t work unless you do. So, pray, hustle, and trust the process.
Action Step: Set a goal today and take the first action step toward it, no matter how small.
