About Hidayah Taufis, The Author

Hidayah Taufis is a Malaysian author, financial consultant, and founder of HT Group Consultant and HT Books—a personal publishing arm built from her passion to help people understand and plan their finances better.

She is best known for writing The Escape Playbook, a practical guide that introduces readers to the 7 critical financial funds every household needs, especially through the lens of Takaful protection and responsible money planning. Her book was written not just from theory, but from years of personal experience in financial consulting and dealing with real-life financial risks faced by families and entrepreneurs.

Though not a public speaker by profession, Hidayah has privately presented financial literacy concepts to individuals and small private groups. She also conducts internal team trainings within her agency to ensure her team members are equipped to deliver the same message of smart financial preparation and risk management to the public with accuracy and integrity.

At her core, Hidayah is a mother of six, a devoted wife, and a daughter who balances family life while running her own business from home. Her ability to manage her time effectively as a home-based entrepreneur is a testament to her discipline and clarity in purpose.

She believes that everyone, regardless of background or income level, deserves to understand how to protect their income and build a more secure financial future. Her approach is relatable, faith-based, and practical—rooted in daily Malaysian realities.

Now, as The Escape Playbook gains traction, Hidayah is open to speaking invitations at schools, universities, and community groups who want to explore the topics of financial confidence, Takaful, and independent income protection in a simple and empowering way.

Through her writing, mentoring, and publishing work under HT Books, Hidayah Taufis continues to inspire families, students, and entrepreneurs to make smarter financial choices—calmly, confidently, and with conviction.
