November 7th, 2026   |   Read online Al Salam Alaikum, The new Barakah Culture Leadership Program isn’t a conference or a classic leadership training. It’s a small virtual room of leaders with real responsibility, meeting live every week to work through six key conversations: Business as an ‘Abd of Allah: What changes when your organization’s purpose is oriented towards worshipping Allah (SWT), and not just growth. The Gardener CEO: Planning for an uncertain world: doing your part fully and leaving the outcome to Allah (SWT). The Leader as a Murabbi: Nurturing the souls of the people you lead, not just their performance. Shura: Deciding with Barakah: Consultation, istikhara, and a simple matrix that lightens decision fatigue. HR as Amanah: From hiring and haqq-based pay to feedback and letting people go, all done with amanah and dignity. Waqfable Business: Building a business that outlasts the founder, with a waqf linked to it. Each week follows more or less the same rhythm: learn the ideas, discuss with peers what would work in your context, and commit to action. Then you try it in your organization and share what happened. Want to know more? We’ll walk you through it at the free Info Session. Save My Spot See you there, inshAllah. Sincerely, The Productive Muslim Company Contactus@productivemuslim.com ProductiveMuslim.com P.S. If you can’t join live, RSVP anyway, and we’ll send you the replay on Tuesday, inshAllah.   Update your email preferences or unsubscribe here © 2026 The Productive Muslim Company 3824 Cedar Springs Rd #801-8634 Dallas, Texas 75219, United States Powered by beehiiv

November 6th, 2026   |   Read online Al Salam Alaikum, For years, our work at The Productive Muslim has been about leading yourself with barakah. Today we’re excited to announce something new: The Barakah Culture Leadership Program, a six-week live online program for Muslim leaders, founders, and business owners. This program is about what it means to lead others with Barakah. Together with Mohammed Faris, you’ll work through one question: “What does it look like to run an organization where Barakah Culture is the operating system, and does it actually work?” This is the founding cohort. The group is intentionally small, and the first session is Thursday 1 Jumada al-Akhirah (12 November 2026), inshAllah. Before you decide anything, we’d like to invite you to a free Info Session. We’ll unpack the program, help you check if it’s for you, and answer any questions you have. Save My Spot See you there, inshAllah.

Schmid (University of Tübingen) “argue[s] that [the Ḥadīth al-Ifk’s] different iterations and the aesthetics of storytelling contributed toward the creation of a normative world based on Islamic values.” [login required] In “Legal Education and Legal Theory in Egypt and China” (Legal Theory in the Colonies, Cambridge University Press), Assaf Likhovski (Tel Aviv University) “examines the development of legal education and legal theory in Egypt and China in the early twentieth century… Egyptian jurists blended Western jurisprudential theories with Islamic legal traditions, portraying Islamic law as dynamic, democratic, and compatible with liberal and socialist ideals. In China, the creation of a modern legal education system led to the establishment of institutions such as Soochow University’s Comparative Law School, which promoted a curriculum based on comparative law and sociological jurisprudence.” Likhovski “concludes with a discussion of mutual influence between the different places examined, arguing that similarities were not due to direct influence but to shared intellectual environments shaped by anti-colonial nationalism.” On Islam and AI/Data Science In “Just the Two of Us: Italian Qurʾan Translations Synopsis and a Computational Framework for a Fine-Grained Lexical Dispersion through Multilingual Embeddings” (Islam in History), Riccardo Amerigo Vigliermo (University of Modena and Reggio Emilia) “proposes a set of artificial intelligence and machine learning applications grounded in a human-curated synopsis of Italian Qurʾan translations conceived as a high-quality, expert-verified dataset.” FIELD GUIDE TO ISLAMIC LAW ONLINE: RECENT SOURCES The Field Guide to Islamic Law Online is an ever-growing collection of links to hundreds of primary sources and archival collections around the world, online.
