Last month, Mohammed Faris visited Orange County, California, and hosted a series of inspiring community events. The trip began with a full-day Productivity Workshop for the teachers of Orange Crescent School, equipping educators with tools to bring Barakah into their classrooms. Later that evening, the Rahma Center welcomed a vibrant audience for a Meet the Author session on The Barakah Effect—a heartfelt discussion followed by a lively Q&A. To end the week, the Islamic Society of Orange County hosted The Barakah Tree as part of their Friday Family Night, where parents and kids kept Mohammed on his toes with their questions and reflections. Alhamdulillah, we’re deeply grateful to everyone who showed up and made these gatherings meaningful. If you’d like a copy of The Barakah Effect or The Barakah Tree—for yourself, your family, or as a thoughtful gift—you can find them in our online store.

Last Saturday, we held an engaging webinar titled “Cultivate Barakah-Driven Balance in Your Professional Life”, hosted by Latifa Mak, Community Manager of Barakah Culture Community. The conversation was aimed at high-achieving professionals who feel accomplished in their careers but spiritually disconnected. We were joined by a highly engaged audience and had a dynamic live discussion featuring alumni of the Barakah Effect Program, who shared powerful takeaways from their journeys through the program.

💡 Community Spotlight

When Faizaan Radwi joined the Barakah Effect program, he brought with him two decades of high-stakes corporate experience advising Fortune 500 companies and governments. By every external measure, he was successful—but something was missing. Through the Barakah Effect, Faizaan discovered a new lens to view his work, family, and faith. As he puts it:

Just like Faizaan discovered, sometimes the most profound transformations happen when we stop trying to force frameworks and start allowing ourselves to truly experience the journey.
