27th Dhul-Qa'dah 1447H

Assalamu'alaikum,

"Only 15% of the Ummah speaks English."

That statistic has bothered me for years. It quietly told me that our work at Productive Muslim - for all its reach - has been limited to a small slice of the Ummah.

Next week, by Allah's mercy, that changes.

Alhamdulillah, after many months of working with a dedicated team of translators and editors, we're launching the Arabic version of our flagship Productive Muslim Program, designed for the Arabic-speaking professional.

And to kick it off, we're hosting a free live webinar next week:

🎙️ هل أنت منتج… أم مجرد مشغول؟

(Are you productive… or just busy?)

Date: Tuesday, 2 Dhul-Hijjah 1447H / 19 May 2026

Time: 5:00 pm Makkah (find your local time here)

The session will be led by Dr. Mohannad Al-Hakeem, one of our earliest certified Productive Muslim trainers; a PhD in mechanical engineering with 12 years at Ford and Chrysler, 80+ patents and papers, and author of “40 Hadith on Community Service & Activism”.

If you speak Arabic, please register here or forward this email to someone who does. 

For 15+ years, the Productive Muslim message has lived mostly in English. From next week onwards, inshaAllah, it begins to live in Arabic too. And insha'Allah, we'll expand into many more languages after that.

Please make du'a that Allah ﷻ blesses this first Arabic cohort of the Productive Muslim Program, and enables us to open this work to other tongues across the Ummah.

Sincerely,
