Navigating Career Success While Staying True to Your Faith: The 2nd Annual UICA Youth Career Panel
On November 22, 2024, the United Islamic Center of Arizona (UICA) hosted its 2nd Annual Youth Career Panel, bringing together a diverse group of professionals to share their insights on how they’ve achieved career success while staying true to their Islamic values. The event, titled “Faith and Future: Navigating Career Success as a Muslim Youth,” offered attendees a unique opportunity to learn from experienced panelists who have successfully balanced their professional aspirations with their faith.
The panel featured three remarkable speakers: Dr. Nazim, a pharmacist and UICA board member, who discussed his career in healthcare and his commitment to serving his community; Dr. Muna Ali, a physical therapist and PhD in Anthropology, who shared her experiences blending science and service in her work; and Aina Lohnub, the CEO of Istubbrok Modest Clothing, who spoke about how she grew her business while staying true to her faith and empowering others through modest fashion. Each panelist provided valuable advice on overcoming challenges, maintaining motivation, and integrating Islamic values into their careers.
The event wasn’t just about career advice—it was an opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals and be inspired by role models who have paved the way for success. Attendees left the panel with practical strategies and a renewed sense of purpose, empowered to pursue their professional goals while remaining grounded in their faith. The UICA Youth Career Panel proved to be a truly inspiring and informative event, helping young Muslims navigate their career journeys with confidence and conviction.
