Financially and Emotionally ManipulatedThis is difficult for me to share, but wallahi it needs to be said.After my experience, a group of us formed a private WhatsApp group. We are people who were financially and emotionally harmed after trusting Abdul. The people affected are fathers, mothers, husbands, and everyday individuals who were trying to improve their lives in a halal way.I personally paid $25,000.I made this decision with trust. As a Muslim, I believed I was dealing with someone who understood accountability before Allah. I believed fear of Allah would prevent harm to others. InshaAllah, I believed that trust would be respected. It was not.This was not just a financial loss. It caused serious emotional stress.The money I paid was hard earned halal money. It came from years of work, sacrifice, and dua. The loss led to anxiety, stress, and sleepless nights that cannot simply be undone.Many families were affected. Some marriages were strained. People who only wanted financial stability were left confused, embarrassed, and hurt. When trust is built through shared faith and then broken, the impact is much deeper.One of the most difficult parts was the hypocrisy we witnessed.The program was heavily marketed using Islamic language, halal branding, and references to deen and brotherhood. At the same time, we witnessed behavior that directly went against those values. There were situations where alcohol was openly present among people representing the company, which is clearly forbidden in Islam and completely contradicts the image being promoted.This created serious concern. Faith appeared to be used publicly for marketing while being ignored privately.Because so many people were affected, we decided to take further steps. We sought professional help and hired an independent private investigator to look into the matter objectively. This was done because the number of people harmed made it impossible to dismiss as isolated issues.There were also other concerns, such as forced branding and participation, including being required to wear shirts like “The AI Owners". This felt more focused on image and control than genuine guidance or support.Over time, the gap between what was promised and what was delivered became very clear.This is not just my experience.There are many people involved who do not know each other, yet the experiences are similar: trust given, money paid, support decreasing, responsibility shifted, and accountability disappearing.I believe Allah sees everything. No injustice is ignored. Every dollar taken unjustly, every family harmed, every tear shed, Allah is Al Adl. InshaAllah, accountability will come, if not in this dunya, then in the akhirah.This is not written out of hatred. It is written to warn others and to seek transparency and accountability.People deserve honesty before risking their money and their families futures.There is more information and more documentation, but this is my statement for now.I trusted.I paid.I made dua.And I was hurt and not given what was promised.InshaAllah, speaking up will protect others and justice will be served.
