What: Productive Muslim, a new 'Muslim life coaching' site created by "Abu Productive" and marketed by our own MUSLIMNESSAim: To utilise the internet, technology and time to develop a Muslim Ummah that is very productive throughout the day. "A ProductiveMuslim/Muslimah is a Muslim who’s active both in this life and is actively prepared for the HereAfter, they use all the technology given to him/her today in serving His Lord and being a better person."
Resources: Product Muslim provides a number of unique time management, charting and nasiha - advice - sources that can be downloaded and used easily, daily.
In conjunction with Productive Muslim, Productive Muslimah covers interviews from Iconic Muslim Women and advice.
Productive Muslim shares a downloadable file called the Taskinator. This daily scheduled chart is useful for listing to-do-lists by the hour. As a tested resource by MUSLIMNESS, we find that using one daily can be a little too excessive for keeping track of general chores and prayers so we use ours per-week instead.
Productive Muslim also provides dua' (supplications) that can be printed and memorised. We like that the Arabic phonetics and translations are provided too: Remember the dua for entering a vehicle:
بِسْمِ اللّهِ ، الْحَمْد’ للّهِ ، سُبْحانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ وَإِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا لَمُنقَلِبُونَ
Bismillah. Alhamdulilah. SubhanAll-ladhi, sakh-khara lana, haatha, wa-ma kunna lahu mukrineen. Wa inna ila Rubbina lamunqalibuun.
‘In the name of Allaah and all praise if for Allaah. How perfect He is, the One Who has place this (Transport) at our service and we ourselves would not have been capable of that, and to our Lord if our final destiny.'
Other ideas on how to become more productive include:
- Investing in a good MP3 player, either one with A-B functionality or an iPod Touch/iPhone with Qur'an apps installed (here’s a guide on how to “Islamize your iPod Touch/iPhone)".
- And watching an original Productive Muslim video:
