We finally figured out what was missing

It wasn’t more content, more motivation, or another productivity “hack”  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌

August 29th, 2026   |   Read online Al Salam Alaikum, Almost everything in the online education space for the past decade was built around delivering knowledge. More modules. More lessons. Bloated curriculums.  The unspoken promise is that if we just hand you enough of the right information, your life will reorganize itself around it. It rarely does. And we were guilty of this too, honestly.  The old Productive Muslim Program was full of beneficial, sound, deen-rooted knowledge- alhamdulilah.  But it was mostly built on that same assumption.  You watched, you learned, you took beautiful notes, you finished a session genuinely lit up. The online courses were designed to give you more knowledge, not necessarily help you with implementation or execution. It wasn’t you. It was the design. So we stopped asking what (else) can we teach? And started asking what would it actually take for this to change someone’s life? The answers weren’t more content. They were a starting point you can measure.  A real (and certified) human (we call them Routine Doctors) who looks at your specific life and prescribes a routine for it based on your circumstances.  Weekly implementation sessions where you do the work instead of watching someone talk about it. Accountability partners who know what you committed to. A daily virtual space to focus deeply in a spiritually uplifting environment. A predictable weekly and monthly rhythm to help you review the past week/month and remind you to align your actions with your intentions And a way to look back at the end and measure your own transformation for yourself That’s what we rebuilt the new Productive Muslim Program around, and it’s what we are excited to walk you through on Monday, 17 Rabi’ al-Awwal (August 31) at 8:00 AM US CT,  inshAllah. Save My Seat If you’ve been circling this program for a while without ever pulling the trigger, this is the session that ends the circling- in one way or another. We can’t wait to see you with us inshAllah. Sincerely, The Productive Muslim Company Contactus@productivemuslim.com ProductiveMuslim.com P.S. Enrollment is open for the new Productive Muslim Program with special Rabi’ al-Awwal pricing, available for a limited time only. We’ll share the full details on the Info Session. Can’t make it live? Register anyway, and we’ll send you the replay 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

August 28th, 2026   |   Read online Assalamu'alaikum, Last month I sat down with Muhammad Jalal of The Thinking Muslim podcast for an hour-long interview on clocks, hustle culture, and the Barakah missing from our lives. The episode is out today, and you can check it out below: The Tyranny of the Clock: Hustle Culture versus Barakah | Mohammed Faris Before we started recording, he told me that when he first came across "Productive Muslim", he assumed it was just an “Islamic wrapper” on the capitalist model of productivity. But he was pleasantly surprised, before and during the interview, that our work at Productive Muslim was a complete re-think of productivity from the ground up, alhamdulillah. If you want a systematic way to adopt the Productive Muslim approach to productivity in your personal and professional life, then enrollment for the Productive Muslim Program is now open. Click here to join And if you want more information about the program, then my team and I are hosting an info session this Monday, 17th Rabi-I 1448H (31st August 2026) at 8:00 am US Central Time, where we'll go into detail on how the program will be structured and why we recently revised it to be more about implementation and not just information. You can register and join the info session here and ask any questions before you join. Click here to join the info session. Hope you enjoy the interview with The Thinking Muslim Podcast, and hope to see you in the Productive Muslim program! Sincerely, Mohammed Faris Founder, The Productive Muslim Company mohammed@productivemuslim.com ProductiveMuslim.com P.S.

[The article] analyses what kind of mechanisms have been put in place to determine and regulate the age of marriage.” In “Reasons for Legal Difference Amongst the Four Sunni Schools of Law” (Berkeley Journal of Middle Eastern & Islamic Law), Dr. Ahmed Khater (Saint Mary’s College of California) analyses “Why do the four Sunni schools of Islamic law differ in their positions on legal questions?” He concludes that, “The principal reasons for this differing are found in the various areas of Islamic legal theory (uṣūl al-fiqh) and from this legal framework outline[s] a qualitative typology of the causes of differing.” On Islam and AI/Data Science In “Machines Referencing the Qurʾan: Citation Patterns in LLM-Generated Islam” (Journal of Digital Islamicate Research), Jonas Svensson (Linnaeus University) concludes that,  “LLM s produce theologically differentiated citation patterns broadly consistent with known positions in Islamic discourse… [and] that non-human Islam, while mechanistically novel, exhibits structure, patterns, and theological coherence warranting sustained academic attention.” 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: Niru-yi Sivvum(The Third Force) was a publication linked to a reformist political movement in 1950s Iran, closely aligned with the Iran Party and Mohammad Mossadegh’s National Front. It promoted democratic socialism, anti-colonialism, and the nationalization of Iran’s oil resources, acting as a key voice for political advocacy and mobilization during a transformative period in Iranian history.
