“I was told I didn't matter, that my only value was in being a good wife and “Achi-Bachi.” But I refused to accept that. I broke free from centuries-old cultural conditioning and trauma and created a new path – the Jamali Method. Jamali is a mission and movement to bring freedom and purpose to Muslim women around the globe; to empower them to break free of the chains of societal and cultural oppression, and step into leadership – for their family, community, and businesses.”Meet Eram Saaed, the world's #1 coach for Professional Muslim women, a catalyst for change, empowerment, abundance and connection bridged by Islamic principles with modern leadership.Born in Pakistan, she was raised in a culture where women’s voices don’t matter and are expected to be silent and submissive. After two failed marriages, physical and emotional abuse, and being financially bankrupt, Eram hit rock bottom. It was then, in her darkest hour, she discovered the infinite wisdom of Allah and developed a no-nonsense, easy-to-understand approach that has transformed her into a global leader. Today, Eram is trusted by and has impacted over 23 million Muslim women worldwide, empowering them to balance faith and freedom. With her daughter Natasha by her side, they offer guidance, tools, accountability, and support to help them achieve clarity, purpose, courage, dignity, self-love, justice, abundance, and freedom bridged with faith.Welcome to the movement.Abundance creates peace.The Jamali Method focuses on three foundations: Jamali Freedom helps you find clarity, confidence and independence regardless of past obstacles and adversity.
