Faisal sits down with Abu Lahya — one of the clearest voices right now for Muslims who want to build serious businesses without living in the grey areas.
We get into the real story behind his "Muslim Alex Hormozi" label… including the wild moment he spent $250,000 buying 10,000 copies of Hormozi's book as a marketing stunt — which ended up getting him invited to a private, NDA-heavy mastermind day with the Acquisition.com team.
Then the episode turns into a masterclass in perseverance.
Abu Lahya breaks down his 5-day "start from zero" challenge in America where he tried to make $1,000 with no money and no connections… and spent most of the challenge stuck on $3, even collecting trash for $2 at one point. He talks about the pressure of failing publicly, getting clowned live, nearly putting all his eggs in one basket… and then finally closing a $6,000 deal on day 6 — live — with $3,000 paid on the spot.
If you're trying to build something, stay halal, and stop quitting the second it gets hard — this one will hit.

| 0:25.2 | and what it is that you do and you also very clearly Muslim conservatively Muslim and I think that |
| 0:30.8 | we need more of of that kind of like identity online and you're trying to push Muslims kind of in the right direction |

So you can buy 10,000 copies, then you go and have a meeting with him? It was if you buy, yeah, it was if you buy over 100,000. but that's after, because I was the first one to do a donation that size. |
