The world chases “ikigai” where four circles meet — what you love, what you’re good at, what people need, and what pays. The Compass keeps those, adds the piece that changes everything — niyyah — and reads your nature, strengths, values, and the maqāṣid (higher aims) you’re built to serve. A few taps in, a clear bearing out: lawful work, done with skill, to benefit people, intended for Allah.
1 · Your nature
What kind of work energises you? (up to 2)
Where does your sharpness naturally show? (up to 2)
You do your best work…
And you prefer…
2 · What you value & serve
What matters most to you in work? (up to 3)
The change you most want to be part of? (up to 2 · the higher aims, maqāṣid)
Your mission, in one line (optional)
3 · Weigh your real paths
You’re drawn to it; it energises rather than drains you.
You have, or can build, real ability — a trust to develop.
It genuinely serves people.
It can earn lawful (حَلال) provision — now or in time.
List a few paths you’re weighing — a job, a craft, a business, a cause. For each, tap what’s true.
Add at least one path and tap what’s true for it.
Who you are
The maqṣad you’re built to serve
Where to point — fields & future-fit
Your paths, weighed
Tensions & blind spots
Provision & sustainability
Even work that is loved, skilled, beneficial, and lawful only becomes worship through intention. Renew it: “O Allah, I do this to serve You and Your creation.” Then the meeting, the craft, the spreadsheet — all of it — becomes ibadah, and your provision becomes barakah.
