“The Miracle of Islam is different. If you put the Qur’an in front of you for hundreds of years and watch it, it will do nothing. […] The true miracle is the ability of this Qur’an to go inside this mind of the human being and bring the miracle of that human being. The true miracle in Islam is you and me, if we want it to be!”– Dr. Walid Fitaihi.
In just few moments of inspiration, the outstanding Saudi Arabian Doctor Fitaihi tells ProductiveMuslim how one could recapture the spark of productivity within him/her.
“Every person is a genius, but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life thinking it’s stupid!” he quoted Einstein.
