A Movement which establishes and promotes intentional spending within the Muslim Circular Economy
From professional poker to Islam and entrepreneurship.
In this powerful conversation, Siwash Zahmat shares how he made over £400,000 as a professional poker player before walking away from it all for Islam. What began as a secret obsession turned into a life-changing test of faith. Through the Qur’an, love, and sacrifice, he discovered purpose beyond money.
Siwash takes us through his remarkable journey: from the highs of poker winnings to the struggles of self-sabotage, the importance of inner work, and the lessons he drew from investing over $300,000 in personal development. Today, he is a 7-figure entrepreneur, coach, and believer in building a life of barakah, boundaries, and legacy.
This is not just a story about leaving behind haram wealth. It is about redefining success through Islam, building businesses that outlive individuals, and creating an economy that looks 150 years ahead.
