May 17th, 2026   |   Read online Al Salam Alaikum, First off, we apologize for any confusion caused over the past few days when we sent out emails in Arabic without the English translation. However, if you’ve been following along since last week, you’ll know how excited we are about the launch of the Arabic version of the Productive Muslim Program (ProM). Today, we want to answer a question many people have been asking us: “Why now? And why Dr. Mohannad?” For years, we have recognized a major gap in Arabic productivity content: either it is a literal translation of Western concepts that do not take into account our fitrah (natural disposition) and spirituality, or it separates dunya and akhira as though they are two paths that never meet. At the Productive Muslim Company, we believe that barakah is not a fleeting feeling- it is the divine preservation and multiplication of divine goodness in everything you build: your time, work, family, health, wealth, and worship. And because conveying this message to Arabic speakers is a trust and responsibility, we needed a facilitator who combines deep Islamic grounding, professional expertise, and the ability to teach and train effectively. Meet Dr. Mohannad Hakeem: PhD in Mechanical Engineering Worked for 12 years at Ford and Chrysler Holder of 80 patents and scientific publications in control systems and engine technologies Author of the book “Forty Hadiths on Voluntary Work.” Spent 18 years in the United States before settling in Lebanon Passionate about Quranic reflection, psychology, and the art of life management Certified trainer with the Productive Muslim Company and a long-time advocate of a barakah-centered lifestyle Dr. Mohannad is not simply a trainer delivering a webinar- he is someone who has personally experienced the pressures of professional life both in the Arab world and in the West at the highest levels, and then consciously chose the path of barakah through conviction and knowledge. In the webinar, Dr. Mohannad will address essential questions such as: What is the difference between being truly productive and merely busy? How can we redefine our priorities according to the Prophetic teaching: “Your body has a right over you, and your family has a right over you. So give everyone their due right”? How can we benefit from modern productivity tools without turning into machines drained of our energy? Note: The webinar will be hosted in Arabic.  And if you know an Arabic speaker who may benefit- a colleague, a friend, or family member- please don’t hesitate to share this invitation with them.  The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever guides others to goodness will have a reward similar to the one who does it.” Reserve Your Free Seat Now Sincerely, The Productive Muslim Company Contactus@productivemuslim.com ProductiveMuslim.com   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 Terms of Service

This book analyzes how the Association of Algerian ʿUlamaʾ, founded in 1931 as a league of Muslim scholars, addressed the peculiar situation of French laïcité in colonial Algeria and competed with Algeria’s revolutionary nationalists. It also highlights the financial basis and the grassroots organizations of the movement, from which it brought about a ‘passive’ revolution against the colonial social order." In a recent podcast, Imran Mulla (Middle East Eye) discusses his new book The Indian Caliphate, Exiled Ottomans and the Billionaire Prince (Hurst): "In 1924, the Republic of Turkey voted to abolish the Ottoman caliphate, ending a 400-year-long claim by the Ottomans that they were the leaders of the Islamic world. Abdülmecid II—who had been elected to the position by the Republic of Turkey just two years before—decamped for Europe. What followed was a bold plan by Indian Muslims and the Nizam of Hyderabad, one of the world’s richest men at the time, to potentially revive the caliphate." On Islam and AI/Data Science In "The Affective Algorithm: Mapping the Emotional Architecture of Fatimid Geniza Petitions (Part 2)" (Digital Orientalist), Abdulqadir Haidermota (Aljamea-tus-Saifiyah) observes that, "for the historian of the Mediterranean, Geniza documents are rightly celebrated for their detailed preservation of the material world—offering up the price of flax, the lineage of a merchant, or the date of a decree." His study asks "what happens when we treat these formulaic expressions not as background noise, but as structured data points—patterns that might reveal an emotional logic beneath the surface, allowing for the visualisation of a constitutive underlying architecture that isolated close reading often misses." (Note: Part 1 "outlines the background of the pilot study and its methodology" while Part 2 "focuses on the outcomes." 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. We recently added a new resource to this list: Hipajattul Islam [Feb 1930 -Dec 1936] is a digitized periodical collection "mainly focusing on the doctrines of Islam and spread of Islam in Tamilnadu [India]. Original material is held by Anjuman Nusrathul Islam, Islamic Public Library, Kottakuppam." The collection features 1,815 images.
