Special guest: Basama Beyah
Are you a millennial or Gen Z Muslim struggling to navigate the modern marriage scene while building a successful career? In this episode of the Oasis, we sit down with Basama Beyah, to discuss everything from modest fashion to finding your soulmate in the digital age.
We dive deep into the challenges of the current marriage market and why so many young Muslims are finding it difficult to connect. Basama provides an inside look at her role as the senior global marketing manager at Salams, the worlds leading Muslim marriage app, and offers practical advice on how to approach the search for a spouse with the right mindset. We also explore her success as a fashion designer with her brand BaZma Beyond and how she managed to purchase her first home as an investment at just twenty-five years old.
Later in the episode, we are joined by Basama's mother, Aziza, who shares her perspective on raising successful children, the art of homeschooling, and the importance of returning to the Quran and Sunnah when building a family. This conversation is packed with inspiration for anyone looking to balance professional ambition with spiritual growth and community building.
