Mohammed's book, The Productive Muslim has reached me since 2019, but I just got the chance to join his training, together with ALAMI team in 2021. The session was very intriguing, as it enticed us to think beyond textbooks and existing use cases, touching our spiritual and emotional angles as we shape business strategy. We had a lot of takeaways from the session, which some of them materialized into our policies that enforce our culture.

Mohammed facilitated a leadership retreat to help us define the principles, mindsets, and behaviors that will continue to make LaunchGood successful. He was spectacular at making sure we stayed focused, on task, and our conversations were fruitful. He took the time to understand our context and developed a program around our goals as well as follow up plan. I would gladly invite Mohammed to facilitate future retreats!

Undoubtedly, one of the greatest scholars of our time! My team and I, have found Mohammed's teachings transformative in our personal and corporate lives. Mohammed has managed to successfully bring together teachings from the Quran and Sunnah and make them pragmatic and understandable in our everyday lives. He does this with a teaching style which is both humble and inspiring. Having attended training from professors from Wharton and HBS, I can confidently say that his coaching sessions are world-class. I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to spend so much time with him. May Allah grant Mohammed the energy and knowledge to continue his work.

The Tyranny Of The Mechanical Clock
Time wasn’t “precise” – divided into 24 hours, each hour 60 minutes, and each minute 60 seconds. It was more free-flowing, more natural. Below is a description of how Muslim societies organized their time from a book called “Time Sticks”: How Islam and Other Cultures Have Measured Time by Dr. Barbara Freyer Stowasser:
Read articleSlow down your life with #SlowSalah
Alhamdulillah, we are blessed as Muslims to have the five daily prayers that help us pause in the middle of our busy lives and turn to our Creator. But sadly, many of us rush through them trying to catch up with life.
The irony is that we rush through our meeting with our Creator, Who has control over everything in our lives, to hurry towards meetings with people or tasks that only Allah can facilitate in the first place!
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ spoke directly about this issue. In a hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah, the Prophet ﷺ noticed a man praying in a hurried manner. He said to him, “Go back and pray, for you have not prayed.” This happened three times, until the man said, “Teach me, O Messenger of Allah.” The Prophet ﷺ then explained, “When you stand for prayer, perform wudu properly, then face the qibla and say takbir. Then recite what you can from the Quran, then bow until you feel at ease in ruku’, then rise until you are standing straight, then prostrate until you feel at ease in prostration…” (Bukhari)

To Allah belongs what He takes, and to Him belongs what He gives, and everything has its time.
When someone dies, we often reflect on their legacy and the life lessons they parted with us. And alhamdulillah, I learned so much from my dad – especially his mannerisms and kind conduct with people. However, in this article, I wanted to reflect on his death. I learned so much in this last year from him and the dying process that I want to capture these lessons firstly for myself and my family and secondly impart beneficial knowledge to any child or caregiver as they care for a dying parent, spouse, relative, or friend:
