He Wrote It Down on April 18th

There's a photo I want you to see.

An open notebook. At the top of the page: Friday, 18 April 2025.

"My first money milestone: Replace MATW income = $3,000 AUD ≈ $2,000 USD. I need only 2 influencers at $1,000 USD commission."

And scribbled in red ink at the top corner: "Gonna come back to this one day in sha Allah."

The brother who wrote that had joined IMA one or two days earlier. He had no deals, no influencers, no proof this would work for him. Just a page, a plan, and a promise to return.

Forty four days later, he came back to that page with his monthly income tripled.

His name is Imam. This is his story, including the chapter most success stories hide.

Made For This But Not Ready

Imam is a young brother from Australia. His background was videography and social media marketing. He worked for an Islamic charity, earning that $3,000 AUD a month you saw in the notebook.

In January 2025, travelling in Bali with his family, he came across the course. He'd been through plenty of courses that never worked for him. But this one hit different. In his own words: "When I saw this, I knew this was literally made for me."

He applied. He went through the calls.

And he couldn't join. He'd spent everything he had on the travelling.

Now pay attention, because there are brothers reading this who watched the masterclass, wanted in, checked their account, and closed the tab feeling like the door had shut on them.

Imam didn't treat "not now" as "never." He went home, got his money right, and his words "alhamdulillah, Allah guided me to join back in April."

The door doesn't close because you need a few months. It closes when you stop walking toward it.

The 44 Days

Two days in, he sat down with a notebook and reverse engineered his goal. Replace the salary. That's $2,000 USD. That's two influencers at $1,000 commission, or four at $500.

Then he attacked it. His first win: 6+ influencers signed in under two weeks.

And then came the dip that almost every student hits after the first win. Influencers stopped replying. Brands ghosted him after he shared his roster.

His remedy is one every brother should steal. Every time he felt down, he'd open the community wins, scroll through the brothers' results, and tell himself one sentence:

"The only thing stopping me from reaching my goal is myself."

Day 44: monthly income tripled. $31,700 in deals closed, profiting around $6,900. He posted the photo of the notebook and swore by it " wallahi, this was a real goal, written before any of it existed."

The Fall

A couple of months in, with around $6k in profit behind him, Imam fell off.

Not slowed down. Fell off. In his own words: "I completely fell off. I ghosted."

Life piled on, family issues, university work drowning him. July and August passed with minimal emails and barely any work done. Two months, wasted, while a working business sat there waiting for him.

Now listen to how he talks about it, because this is the part I respect most:

"I have nothing to blame but myself. I can say it was the family issues, I can say it's the uni work drowning me but I blame me, because it's me that chose to let everything affect my business."

In early September, Allah guided him to that realisation. And he went back to work.

The Comeback

The brother who wasted July and August ended the year with a post titled "Proof the System Works" $37,950 closed at around $11,000 profit.

Two weeks into the new year, he posted again.

$75,000 closed. $20,000 profit. His words: "Allah SWT allowed me to begin 2026 with a bang."

The same man. The same system. The only variable that changed between the wasted summer and the $75k was the effort he put in.

Imam's Playbook

Imam's advice is unusually practical, so I'm giving it to you nearly straight from his posts.

First: "SET YOUR GOAL CLEARLY. Whatever it is, have it written out in front of you so you see it every day. Then reverse engineer. Write down ALL the steps and actions you need to get there, then start implementing."

Second: keep a diary and hunt bottlenecks. Sit down for your focused hours knowing exactly what today is for. If influencers are your gap this week, work influencers, don't bounce between finding brands, replying to emails, and "doing research" that's really just watching videos like a viewer. His test for every moment: "Is what I'm doing right now actually going to benefit my business?" Everyone loves the dopamine of feeling busy. Deals come from solved bottlenecks.

Third: the foundation: "Focus on your deen. Make your mother happy. Pray tahajjud. Keep your tongue busy with istighfar. You've heard everything a thousand times, but the reason you've heard it a thousand times is because it actually works."

And his summary of the whole game: "There is no secret to success. It all lies in hard work and tawakkul."

What I Want You to Take From This

Some of you reading this haven't joined yet, and Imam's notebook is your lesson: a goal written down and reverse engineered stops being a dream and becomes plan.

But some of you will join. You will start, you'll got a result or two inshallah, and then life will hit and you will start ghosting your own business. You'll tell yourself the window passed.

Imam wasted two full months. He blamed no one but himself, changed what was in himself, and Allah changed his condition. from a dead summer to $75,000 closed.

Your July and August don't disqualify your December.

He came back. So can you.

May Allah keep Imam consistent, put barakah in his deals, and make him among the wealthy Muslims who lift this Ummah.

Barakallahufik,

Abu Lahya
