Are you sacrificing your deen for your dunya?

The real cost of hustle culture (and why “work-life balance” isn’t working for Muslims)

Assalamu alaikum,

When was the last time you prayed Fajr on time- not rushed, not exhausted, but with actual presence and khushu?

When was the last time you sat with your family without thinking about work emails, project deadlines, or that meeting tomorrow?

When was the last time you opened the Quran for more than 10 minutes?

If you’re struggling to answer these questions… you’re not alone.

Here’s what’s happening:

We’ve been sold a lie called “work-life balance”- this idea that if you just manage your time better, hustle smarter, and optimize harder, you can somehow juggle everything perfectly.

But instead, you’re:

  • Missing Fajr because you stayed up late working (again)

  • Feeling guilty when you’re with family because you “should be working”

  • Feeling guilty when you’re working because you’re neglecting your worship

  • Burnt out, overwhelmed, and wondering if this is really what life is supposed to feel like

The truth?

Work-life balance is a myth. It goes against your fitrah. And it’s destroying your peace, your family and your relationship with Allah.

But there’s a better way.

A way that Prophet Muhammad (SAW) showed us 1,400 years ago- and it’s MORE relevant today than ever before.

In this interactive 75-minute session, you’ll discover:

  • Why “work-life balance” is failing you (and the 3 Islamic principles that actually work)

  • How Prophet Muhammad (SAW) balanced worship, family, leadership, and rest 

  • The exact framework to organize your life around what truly matters

  • How to experience barakah in your daily routine

Plus Live Workshop Session

You’ll build your personalized Version 1.0 Prophetic Life Balance routine in real-time- something you can implement starting the very next morning, inshAllah.
