Re: Halal Jobs for Sisters

I'm wondering about whether there's any way you could be self employed to run your own business or do something from home. If you're good at crafts then maybe stuff you can sell via Etsy type sites. I know a local woman who made samosas and snacks at home to cater for events such as birthday parties and that sort of thing. It started off as just making samosas for a few friends when they had events or gatherings but didn't want the stress of all the cooking but still wanted to serve decent home made dishes so they asked her... then over time she started charging for it and word spread about it and she kept getting orders.

Some ladies become driving instructors though not sure how you'd handle turning down men who ask to learn from you but inshaAllah there's some way around it. I don't know if you can drive or if that's feasible. What you said about making Islamic clothes sounds like a good idea. I wonder if there's some sort of temp job you can get to help you save for your own start up home business? Have you worked in a warehouse before? My sister used to work in one and there are men there but they just get on with their work and didn't give her any trouble. For office work they usually want someone with experience, even retail shop work they tend to want previous experience. If you volunteered for a charity place for a few months, that would give some experience which you can then put on your applications.

Lol that sort of reminds me of Martha Stewart.

Maybe a women's driving school? If I could drive though

I was looking into working at call centers as well so maybe that would be a good way to save money. I don't think I'll have to pay rent in the beginning so alhamdulillah I can save the money that would have gone towards that. I think either working at a call center or finding a job as a receptionist would be a lot more realistic in my situation. Allahu alam.

A warehouse as in a storage facility? I passed that because I feared I'd have to do heavy lifting and I am so weak lol. I'm not really sure how they operate but if your sister can do it then insha'Allah I can too.

Yeah I think once I get the chance, if I volunteer I may be able to.

The more I think of it, I realized that I've volunteered for an organization before but I am not sure who I'd reference.

Barakallahu feeki :)

Re: Halal Jobs for Sisters

If you mean "storage facility" as in the place where people rent out storage lockers, then no.

A lot of retail stores have a shop front where they display and sell their stuff to the customers, but they also have a stock section, sometimes at the back of the store, often it's a warehouse in larger stores, so that if for example the shelf containing shoes is almost empty, we call the warehouse to bring more upstairs and that sort of thing. It is more physical than office or receptionist work but I've seen many women work there.

Halaal business for Sisters

I won't be able to further my education and I can't think of any halal jobs that don't require a degree where I'd make enough to sustain myself. Any suggestions?

:salams Sister Aidaalej

in'shaa'ALLAH You could sell halaal products online from your home using Drop Shipping. Here is a link for drop shipping https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drop_shipping .

Drop shipping is a supply chain management method in which the retailer does not keep goods in stock but instead transfers customer orders and shipment details to either the manufacturer, another retailer, or a wholesaler, who then ships the goods directly to the customer. As in retail businesses, the majority of retailers make their profit on the difference between the wholesale and retail price, but some retailers earn an agreed percentage of the sales in commission, paid by the wholesaler to the retailer.

in'shaa'ALLAH If your able to artistically you could do what is called in Arabic as khatt Islami (خط اسلامي) known in English as Islamic calligraphy and sell your halaal Islamic calligraphy artwork in reputable online auctions to other muslimeen people in'shaa'ALLAH. Depending how good artistically you are in'shaa'ALLAH you could make hundreds of dollars from selling a single drawing of halaal Islamic calligraphy artwork from what I had seen in the past on online reputable auctions.

Lowballing a bit in some areas, why just to be a secretary for a female boss, when she could be the boss herself :D

Re: Halaal business for Sisters

You could write short halaal stories in'shaa'ALLAH and in'shaa'ALLAH you could sell these short halaal stories online using Amazon's Kindle Singles program—which publishes works of fiction or creative nonfiction of 5,000–30,000 words—it sold more than 2 million short titles in 14 months. Today, it’s further promoting short fiction with a Short Reads section—where customers can choose stories from the Singles library by the length of time required to read them—and Day One magazine, which showcases short fiction from new authors. http://www.writersdigest.com/online-...ff-for-writers

Idealistically, you can be anything you desire, but you gotta be realistic in this scenario.

If you've got no degree, no funds, no family support/back-up , no place to live and have to work to sustain yourself fully, then you will have to start from the bottom of the rungs & gradually make your way up with hard work, sheer will & perseverance.

Unfortunately, there are no short cuts to success.
