Introducing Shukr Cards: A Practical Tool for Gratitude and Connection

Slow 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)

Addressing Overwhelm with a Prophetic H.E.A.R.T.

We, humans, are buiser, more distracted, and juggling more than ever before in human history and that also in a resurgent pandemic. As we approach the month of Rabi Al Awwal, what inspirations can we draw from the Prophet (peace be upon him)(peace be upon him)? How do we address our overwhelm through cultivating a Prophetic Heart?

Mindful Ramadan: Being More vs. Doing More

Success Story: Amal Saymeh, Mindfulness Masterclass Graduate

Mindfulness and Me I had been looking into the western philosophies, concepts, theories, and books to find fulfillment, and now I wanted to learn more about the Muslim perspective on fulfillment, life purpose, and values which led me to the Mindfulness Masterclass at Productive Muslim. Bringing God, soul, and the heart back to Mindfulness, the Masterclass grounded me in my own faith, which was the ingredient I was lacking to be fulfilled.

Mindfulness Masterclass and Me Mindfulness is a buzzword. Everyone seems to be talking about it these days. I never once considered that I would be learning about Mindfulnes one day until I stepped inside the Mindfulness Masterclass at Productive Muslim. And I walked away with deeply meaningful tools for my spiritual-emotional wellbeing and a beautiful supportive community.
