Accountability partnership is really the main essence of this course because women truly thrive with female friendships. There are studies on this. And if we look into the Islamic side of things, then ansar-muhajireen pairing is what this is all about 💕 Prophet ﷺ said: الْبَرَكَةَ مَعَ الْجَمَاعَةِ
Barakah is with the jamaa’ah (blessing is with the community/togetherness). or يَدُ اللَّهِ مَعَ الْجَمَاعَةِ (Allah’s Hand is with the Jama’ah). I have complete trust in Allah that when we come together as a community for something, we bring tidal changes because of collective effort. So the effectiveness of this course lies in everyone’s hands really. Online courses are generally very individualistic and the effort to pair women together as accountability partners is to make this course a communal effort. When we all help each other win, we all win in the process. When you help them for the sake of Allah (and they help you), Allah helps both of you in return. People who will be under the shade of Allah aren’t only those who will give sadaqah discreetly, but also those who will love each other for the sake of Allah. So stay connected with your accountability partner throughout this process to benefit the most out of this in shaa Allah. Check up on each other for action plans put into place.
