Ever wondered if there's a practical way to lead a productive lifestyle that combines the best of Islamic tradition and modern psychology and science? In 'The ProductiveMuslim' Mohammed Faris, the founder of ProductiveMuslimdotcom, provides this practical framework that helps urban global Muslims lead a productive lifestyle Spiritually, Physically, and Socially.

I heard about Mohammed Faris when he visited Malaysia last 3 or 4 years ago.
Make an attempt to buy a productive muslim planner but then cancelled due to the price. I start reading this book with a little bit skeptical, maybe it is just another self help books that i rarely reads nowadays. But its turn out to be different. It is not just 'islamic' self help book but come along with the new spirit in explaning the terms and give you a new perspectives towards productivity.

The ability of the author to connect Islam with productivity is excellent. This is the unic or 'wow' factor of this book. I like the way he present the idea supported with hadith and great quotes from Al Ghazali, Ibn Qayyim and etc. My favorite chapter in this book is Chapeter Three, Spiritual Productivity. He explained a new understanding of energy, focus and time from a spiritual perspective. Spiritual Energy This is the energy you get from being close to Allah. The closer you are, the more energy you will have.
It's a form of 'extra' strength in your body, when you adhere to His commands and follow the guidance of His Prophets SAW. Some call it motivation but he call it spiritual energy. It becomes a driver for us to achieve unimaginable things. Spiritual Focus This is the ability to focus on what's truly important in life, especially in relation to the Hereafter.
We are not distracted by the dazzles of wordly life but are focused on a higher purpose and greater reward. Spiritual Time This is the 'extra' time we seem to get to do things other people barely have time to do.
We seem to have more than 24 hours a day and achieve so much in so little time. Think of our Prophet Muhammad SAW achieving so much in such little 23 years.
What the effect of tapping into spiritual energy, focus and time? The answer is in one word: BARAKAH! I also like the last chapter, Productivity after death! “Tak ada yang baru di bawah matahari yang sama.” Mungkin pernah Anda dengar kata mutiara ini. Kadang, begitu pula dengan buku-buku yang lahir hari ini.
Sebagian besar adalah kompilasi dari buku atau pemikiran yang lama. Namun dihadirkan dengan cara dan wajah yang baru. Buku “Muslim Produktif” karya Muhammed Faris ini adalah contohnya. Berawal dari keinginan pribadinya menjadi muslim yang produktif, muncullah karyanya dalam bentuk tulisan, video, infografis yang terangkum di website productivemusl “Tak ada yang baru di bawah matahari yang sama.” Mungkin pernah Anda dengar kata mutiara ini.

Buku “Muslim Produktif” karya Muhammed Faris ini adalah contohnya. Berawal dari keinginan pribadinya menjadi muslim yang produktif, muncullah karyanya dalam bentuk tulisan, video, infografis yang terangkum di website productivemuslim.com. Buku ini adalah bentuk tertulisnya. Tiga kata yang bisa saya sematkan pada buku setebal 320 halaman ini: Lengkap, Baru dan Sistematis. Lengkap karena memuat hampir semua hal tentang bagaimana agar seorang muslim menjadi produktif. Bukan hanya menyoroti aspek spiritual saja tetapi juga aspek fisik dan sosial. Bahkan untuk membahas tentang tidur saja sampai menghabiskan 30 halaman sendiri.
Baru, maksudnya relevan dengan kondisi hari ini. Disertai referensi buku-buku produktifitas populer seperti 7 Habitnya Covey, The Power of Habitnya Charles Duhigg. Bedanya, yang ini dibingkai dalam kacamata Islam.
Ayat, hadis dan kisah-kisah yang pernah kita baca sebelumnya dirajut dengan indah seperti kita baru mengetahuinya. Sistematis karena penyajiannya terstruktur. Memudahkan untuk pembaca memahami bagiannya satu per satu.
Di setiap akhir Bab ada infografis yang meringkaskan pembahasan sebelumnya. Desain penulisannya dibuat sedemikian rupa untuk kita mudah mencari hal-hal penting yang mungkin terlewat. Saya sangat sangat sangat merekomendasikan Anda memiliki buku ini. Apalagi ada satu Bab sendiri berjudul tentang Ramadhan dan Produktifitas. Selamat menjadi Muslim Produktif! 'Sometimes life won't treat you the way you want it to treat you, or go according to plan. You should accept Allah's decree and be fruitful and productive where you are.
And what's more important than being productive and achieving big dreams and aspirations is Allah accepting your achievements and putting it on your scaled on the Day of Judgment'. This is something to ponder as we work tirelessly to lead productive lives. İt's not our hard work and achievements that matter, but our sincerely an 'Sometimes life won't treat you the way you want it to treat you, or go according to plan.

This is something to ponder as we work tirelessly to lead productive lives. İt's not our hard work and achievements that matter, but our sincerely and whether Allah accepts it from us. This is not a call to relax, it's actually a call to work even harder, in hope that perhaps one productive deed you do is accepted by Allah and makes all your productivity worthwhile. “Secara keseluruhan buku ini berisi tentang memahami bagaimana cara mengatur energi, fokus dan waktu kita agar dapat menjalani kehidupan yang produktif, dan bagaimana Islam bisa membantu kita meningkatkan ketiga faktor tersebut.” (h.2) Islam memandang produktivitas sebagai alat untuk mencapai tujuan, dan produktif adalah sebuah proses untuk mendapatkan hasil. Seorang muslim diharuskan menjadi produktif, sesuai dengan peranan yang telah ditetapkan ataupun dipilih.
Rumus produktif yang dijelaskan o “Secara keseluruhan buku ini berisi tentang memahami bagaimana cara mengatur energi, fokus dan waktu kita agar dapat menjalani kehidupan yang produktif, dan bagaimana Islam bisa membantu kita meningkatkan ketiga faktor tersebut.” (h.2) Islam memandang produktivitas sebagai alat untuk mencapai tujuan, dan produktif adalah sebuah proses untuk mendapatkan hasil. Seorang muslim diharuskan menjadi produktif, sesuai dengan peranan yang telah ditetapkan ataupun dipilih. Rumus produktif yang dijelaskan oleh penulis adalah energi x fokus x waktu dengan tambahan untuk tujuan yang bermanfaat.
Bagian rumus inilah, energi, fokus, dan waktu, yang menjadi subbab-subbab pada bab Produktivitas Spiritual, yang menjadi pembahasan awal teknis dan dianggap sebagai dasar bagi penulis untuk menjadi muslim produktif. Salah satu pembahasan dalam subbab energi spiritual adalah waktu shalat yang menjadi pengikat kepastian dan dapat dijadikan pengisian ulang energi sebelum kembali ke ‘dunia nyata’. Sebuah pemahaman yang diperkuat dengan kutipan dari buku Uncertainty: Jonathan Fields, “aktivitas fisik sederhana yang bersifat ritual dan rutin berfungsi sebagai pengikat kepastian.
Pengikat kepastian adalah kebiasaan atau proses yang menjadikan sesuatu dapat dikenali dan diandalkan dalam hidup Anda.” Subbab-subbab yang sama juga dibahas pada bab Produktivitas Fisik dan Produktivitas Sosial, dengan terinci, seperti ketika membahas energi fisik, penulis menjelaskan tentang bagaimana manajemen tidur, gizi dan kebugaran. “Tidur berkualitas mengatasi setengah masalah produktivitas. Setengahnya lagi adalah bangun tepat waktu setiap hari.” h.141. Pembahasan Produktivitas fisik menjadi poin yang paling banyak dibahas dalam buku ini. Karena penulis bukan pakar di bidang ini, beliau lebih banyak mengambil dari pengalaman pribadi atau hasil dari sharing dengan para ahli.
Dalam produktivitas fisik, tercantum tentang bahaya menunda pekerjaan. Bab inilah yang sangat menyentil kebiasaan saya yang suka menunda-nunda. Lawan kebiasaan menunda dengan komitmen dan menggali alasan mengapa kita suka menunda pekerjaan, menjadi salah dua dari bahan yang nantinya digunakan untuk mengatasi kebiasaan buruk tersebut. Salah satu tips yang diberikan penulis untuk mengatasi kebiasaan menunda adalah dengan membiasanya diri untuk menyelesaikan pekerjaan dalam waktu tertentu, dan itu harus dilakukan berulang kali, supaya otak menjadi lebih efisien dan efektif. Menghubungkan produktivitas dengan tujuan dan visi Anda, kemudian Mengembangkan Kebiasaan Produktif menjadi bahasan selanjutnya.
Tantangan 30 hari menjadi salah satu dari tiga metode yang ditawarkan penulis untuk menciptakan kebiasaan baik. ‘Memaksakan’ diri untuk bersinambung melakukan kebiasaan baik selama 30 hari bermanfaat supaya alam bawah sadar bekerja otomatis. Saya sendiri merekomendasikan buku How to Master Your Habits untuk melengkapi pemahaman terkait menciptakan kebiasaan.
Dilanjut dengan bab penutup, yaitu Ramadhan dan Produktivitas. Ramadhan dipilih karena berharganya bulan penuh tersebut bagi kehidupan manusia. Dimana Ramadhan sangat memungkinkan menjadi titik balik perubahan manusia ke arah yang lebih baik. Salah satu bagian buku yang saya suka adalah mind mapping yang selalu digambarkan setiap akhir bab, sangat membantu ingatan secara visual terkait pembahasan di setiap babnya. “Di mana pun Allah menempatkan Anda, Anda harus bermanfaat di sana.” h. 232 Muslim Produktif Mohammed Faris Quanta 2017; 296 hlm 4.5/5 bintang.
First I would like to say that I really enjoyed reading this book! I have read the authors blog / Fb page and I really enjoyed productive muslim's Ramadan's calendars, Therefore I was really excited when I got it. Like many self improvement books that talk about productivity and tips about how to be productive through your day/months/ years, However this book is targeted towards Muslims mixing the concept of productivity and Faith.

Like many self improvement books that talk about productivity and tips about how to be productive through your day/months/ years, However this book is targeted towards Muslims mixing the concept of productivity and Faith.
The book explains productivity, how to be productive in different aspects of your daily life with respect to ' work, body, mind and soul ' in addition to how to also work and be productive for your Akhera ' the afterlife ' which is an important goal among Muslims. I really loved the organization of the book, It was an easy read, the ideas were well presented. I liked how they presented doodles and diagrams at the end of every chapter as a summary. I admire how the author addressed some misconceptions that are common among some Muslims which affect in their productivity and e.g ' not differentiating between Dunia and Hayat al Dunia'. In short the book provided what it promised in it's description and title.
I have to admit, I'm not a fan of self-help books. They mostly seem to be common sense and so after reading two or three (and admittedly picking up a couple of useful tips) I resorted to figuring my own systems out through discussions with friends.
I just finished listening to the Audible audio version of this book, and I was pleasantly surprised. It sits somewhere between self-help and a religious reminder, but is very contemporary and well put together.

The tips I'm afraid were not new to me, but I really enjoyed the aspect of Faris connecting his theories of productivity to his spirituality, a refreshing perspective for the Muslim looking to be both conscious of obligations that are in two worlds.
Faris is easy to listen to, so it is worth listening to if you are familiar with self-help ideas and tools. If you are not, then I recommend buying the paperback and studying the book instead. I love that each and every chapter, this book will emphasised on the purpose of productivity (not just in spiritual but overall) is to seek the pleasure of Allah and to maximise our rewards in the hereafter. The question is NOT 'what is the purpose of life?' BUT rather 'What's MY purpose in life?' 'What's MY specific contribution?'
'What's MY productivity going to serve in this life and hereafter?' And being a productive muslim is not looking on what you do or achieve in life.
What matter more is if I love that each and every chapter, this book will emphasised on the purpose of productivity (not just in spiritual but overall) is to seek the pleasure of Allah and to maximise our rewards in the hereafter.

'What's MY specific contribution?' 'What's MY productivity going to serve in this life and hereafter?' And being a productive muslim is not looking on what you do or achieve in life. What matter more is if Allah accepts it or not. Such a good book.
I took quite sometime to finish it as I want to read it slow to absorb the ilm. Alhamdullillah, may Allah rewards the writer abundantly. I absolutely adored this book! I started off a bit skeptical, but after day 2 of reading, I was waking up 30 minutes before fajr AND staying awake for Quranic study. This book has fabulous recommendations for practical implementation supported by a near perfect combination of religious reasoning and modern science evidence.
I actually intend to go through all my highlights tomorrow and jot them down so I can reference all this wisdom even more quickly. I highly recommend this book to everyone! J I absolutely adored this book!

Most of the information and highlights pointed out in the book are not alien to Muslim community. It focuses on the very fundamental basis of what made you as a Muslim. However, given the author's experience and in-depth research on productivity and the religion, the book provides practicality and logic thinking in its explanation.
Not much of science-backed information because the book is not intended to be a PhD thesis.

Not much of science-backed information because the book is not intended to be a PhD thesis. The book resonates well with Muslim of different background, but I believe it resonates better with a person who is living in fast-paced life but wants to get better in managing time and self by having both present and here-after life in balance. “Ibn al-Qayyim has a profound statement in his book Al-Fawaid.
Referring to the effect of negative and sinful thoughts, he said: “You should repulse a thought. If you do not do so, it will develop into a desire.
You should therefore wage war against it. If you do not do so, it will become a resolution and firm intention. If you do not repulse this, it will develop into a deed. If you do not make up for it by doing the opposite the opposite of that evil deed, it will become a habit. It will then be very difficult for you to give it up”. Another similar quote: “You should know the initial stage of every knowledge that is within your choice is your thoughts and notions. These thoughts and notions lead you into fantasies.
These fantasies lead towards the will and desire to carry out those fantasies. These wills and desires demand the act should be committed. Repeatedly committing these acts causes them to become a habit. So the goodness of these stages lies in the goodness of thoughts and notions, and the wickedness of these thoughts lies in the wickedness of thoughts and notions”. May Allah be pleased with him!
He offers a deep insight into something so subtle. We should all memorise these words and use it whenever we feel unable to control the tsunami of negative thoughts that overtake our minds.” —. “Prophet Muhammad (s) says: “Whenever you go to bed, perform ablution like that for the prayer, lie or your right side and say: ‘O Allah! I surrender to You and entrust all my affairs to You and depend upon You for Your Blessings both with hope and fear of You.
There is no fleeing from You, and there is no place of protection and safety except with You O Allah! I believe in Your Book which You have revealed and in Your Prophet whom You have sent.’ Then if you die on that very night, you will die with faith (i.e. The religion of Islam). Let the aforesaid words be your last utterance before sleep”.
