Maasha Allah for her Steadfastness in upholding Islamic Values. Allah Will Give her a much better job In Sha’Allah.
I had a situation like this sister a few years ago, when I was being interviewed for a prospective job.
The Chairman insisted that I remove my beard, if I wanted the job, as all other qualifications were fitting their requirement.
I bluntly refused, telling him that my beard is more valuable to me, than the job he was offering and walked out of the office.
Maasha Allah, after a few days, Allah placed me in another interview and I got the job with a higher salary and could keep my beard too and given permission for my Dhuhr and Asr Salaah too.
This is how Allah Rewards if we have a Strong Eemaan and steely resolve in Islamic Values.
