Productivity, Goal Setting, Business, Home schooling & more | Islamic Self Help

How much of the conventional self-help and self development content can we apply as Muslims? Which ideas are problematic and are opposed to our creedal beliefs and faith?

Sh Ismail provides a helpful framework on how to filter the correct information from Ideas such as “manifesting”, “being in control of your own destiny” and others which may conflict with our understanding of qadr.

We also discuss how Islam is flourishing in South Africa and the reasons why. What can Muslim Communities in other countries learn from them. How much of being productive is inherent in someone’s natural ability, and how much can be improved?

Productivity, time-management, gratitude, vision planning, managing finances, online business, home schooling and more.
