ABOUT PIOUS & PROFESSIONAL


The goal of Pious & Professional: A Guide for Muslim Women in the Workforce is to empower Muslim women and to help them navigate through workplace culture without compromising their faith.

It is full of tips, advice and strategies - from everyday communication to maternity leave - inspired by the Qur'an and the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). For example, how to interact with your male colleagues and how to explain your religious obligations to your employer.
