He is the head tutorial assistant at Islamic Online University, radio presenter at Radio Al Ansar, creator of the online space islamicselfhelp.com as well as a published writer of multiple books including the one we will be discussing in our interview called "Getting the Barakah". In this episode we get into a tone of things regarding managing our time and productivity. We also get into how to set 10-20 year long goals, avoid making decisions that you will later regret and finding the perfect time management system for you! Questions Asked:- Why should our listeners care about time management and in turn being productive?- Do you think that because time is not a tangible form of rizq we do not consider it as valuable?- So for those of us who have also grown up in the 80s and 90s and have this notion of killing time, overhauling their habbits and starting to think long term sounds very intimidating. Where do we start with that process?- How can someone tell if a decision is potentially harmful for them in the future or just an easy short cut? What is the difference?- In your book you talk about how not all hours of the day have the same value. How can we use this to our advantage to get more done?- The 7 day planner or the To-Do list? Can you explain these two systems and how they suit different lifestyles?- What would you say to someone who says they are a procrastinator?- Is having managed our time having a full calendar and always being busy? Where does relaxation and fun fit into the equation? For resources mentioned in episode, check out the show notes: http://muslimlifehackers.com/3-6

"All the resources you need to achieve awesomeness and greatness for yourself, family and ummah are all within you. All the resources are within ourselves, we just need to step back and reconnect with ourselves, reconnect with Allah swt and find it.

"Comparing to others is actually a form of violence against yourself… it doesn’t do any good… The best thing we can do is to compare and compete against yourself. I want to my best. I want to be better than who I was last year. It’s not about competing with others and outdoing others, it's about competing with myself and making sure that I am constantly in that process of self development, self improvement, excelling and achieving." - Haleh Banani* Today we will be speaking to sister Haleh Banani. She has a masters degree in clinical psychology, a featured expert on a variety of platforms and also hosted her own TV show for Al-Fajr TV called ‘with Haleh’ which combined principles of psychology and Islam to help people reach their full potential.

“A wise man once said, a candle illuminates but light focused is a laser and a laser cuts through steel…. This is what the vision does, it focuses us. It tells us who we are, it tells us who we are not, it tells us why we do what we do, why we do not… Having vision is very addiction. Once you get it, you will hate to live a day without it. This is what makes a visionary different to a person who doesn’t” - Sheikh Sajid. Sheikh Sajid Umar joins us on the show to talk about person visions. He is an educator, speaker and graduate in Information Technology, Islamic Law and Judiciary with a vision of a world filled with communities that inspire and benefit humanity. We cover the basics of vision setting, why it’s necessary to have one and how it helps with achieving our greatest ambition of entering Jannah. Questions Asked: Can you please define for us what it means exactly to have a vision for your life and setting a personal vision? Why is it necessary to have one? How does it benefit us? What sets apart a person who has a vision and a person who doesn’t? What if a person has a vision of simply making it to Jannah – the highest level and so paves out their life with that in mind. What are your thoughts on this approach and how would you be able to merge this with the vision setting we spoke about here? Would you be able to tell us how you were inspired to creating your own vision? How long did it take before it was crystal clear? Was it ongoing process that you tweaked over years or something you wrote up in one go?

“… now we think to be humble we have to think low of yourself so guess what? If you think that you are stupid, if you think that are dumb, if you think that you can’t do anything then you are not going to do anything with your life. The entire ummah is thinking like that, the entire world is going to do nothing and when we look around the world today, the Muslims are not leading in any fields. It’s because we don’t have the confidence to lead, we are killing each others confidence.” – Abu Muawiyah Questions Asked: What motivated you to write about such topic? Do you think that there is a problem of low confidence in the Muslim community? If we know that Allah swt will help us and give us success in anything we do, why is having self confidence important? How does this fit in? What is the difference between self confidence and arrogance? How can we ensure we nurture the former and not the latter? It’s easy to claim that we are confidence but what are the signs of insecurity and low confidence? In the book, you make a point about people who criticise generally have low self esteem. Why is that the case? For resources mentioned in episode, check out the show notes: http://muslimlifehackers.com/3-1 Thank You For Listening! Did you enjoy this episode?

Mifrah speaks with positive psychologist, coach & entrepreneur: Saiyyidah Zaidi on happiness, high performance & wealth.

Honestly if you were to ask me, I would say that I live the life of a millionaire right now but does it mean I am millionaire? I choose when to get up, how to spend my time. If we want to take off 3 months and go travelling then we can do it because of some of the things we set up and it doesn't need to extravagant." [10:48 - Saiyyidah] "If you surround yourself with amazing people, your going to life yourself and become even more amazing. When I look at the situation of UK, many people are generationally unemployed or generationally uneducated because that's who they surrounded themselves with." [17:39 - Saiyyidah] "You talk about the importance of being confident in yourself so that you bring more to things you do. Now an issue that was brought up by one of our listeners on this, was finding that balance between being confident and not being proud and arrogant? Is this just a misunderstanding of confidence or is there some truth to this, can you really get carried away in the pursuit of being more confident?" [18:10 - Mifrah] "In order to be high performers we need to take care of yourselves. Its not rocket science. It just requires a little bit of tweaking to the life we are living" [27:13 - Saiyyidah] Show Notes: http://www.muslimlifehackers.com/2-09 Leave a Review on iTunes: http://www.muslimlifehackers.com/itunes Muslim Life Hackers VIP List Join the Muslim Life Hackers VIP Email List to get the opportunity to participate in interesting discussions, get access to content that’s not published on the blog, have a say in future topics + guests & more: http://muslimlifehackers.com/vip

Highlights from the Show "Take us back in time and set the scene for us, where did Productive Muslim all start?" (3:11 - Maheen) "The true launch of the website happened...became like a dream...it It is not just about teaching people how to become productive, it became more of how does Islam teach you to become productive. Overthrow the notion that practicing Islam is going to put you down, that Islam is not just about praying and fasting, it is really a whole system to help you grow and develop" (6:50 - Mohammed) "With every progression in life, or with every project we face challenges along the way. Could you tell us a bit about some of the big challenges you faced with Productive Muslim and how did you conquer them?" (11:25 - Maheen) "Just by closing the door to something, like we are not going to take donations, it really opens the door to ways that are really creative for how you can keep the project going, but it is an ongoing process" (12:31 - Mohammed) "It becomes more and more challenging, how do you really make this project continue and outlast us, the ideal is that if I drop dead today the project would continue, it shouldn't rely on me personally or any team member, it should be self sufficient" (16:00 - Mohammed) "Debate in the team is very very healthy, having a team that challenges, always asking you know, why can't we do this? why can't we do that? how can we do this better? Really helps us fight complacency" (17:55 - Mohammed) "What was really interesting for me was, are we really producing good content, not just the generic content that you can find on any blog and that kept me going" (21:45 - Mohammed) "Final advice to our listeners who are maybe thinking about starting their own project?"
