“I’m trying to succeed in this life and the next, the large portion of who I am and my character/worldview is shaped by my faith, but everyone tells me to turn off my faith because “business is just business”.
The world around you pushes you to compartmentalize your faith into a nice neat box called “Islam” that has nothing to do with success in the “real world”.

As you unconsciously bought into this narrative and disconnected your spirituality from your life, you’ve lost the ability to see the relevance of Islam in your personal and professional development.
Moreover, you’ve probably attended many personal or professional training programs in your career. You invested thousands of dollars to attend courses by Gurus who promise you a life of success if you follow their method or latest model. Yet, after each one of these events or courses, you couldn’t help but feel that they were selling you something you already knew. Knowledge that you recognize with your Soul and that feels very familiar to a verse in the Quran, a Prophetic Saying, or an insight shared by a Scholar 700 years ago.
Somehow though – you’re not able to make those clear connections yourself. You read the Quran, attend Seerah programs, and have heard of famous Scholarly views many times, but they are not clicking for you. A part of you is asking: If Islam is the last Divine message to mankind – surely I can learn the best way to live my life across my roles (perhaps beating the gurus who keep changing their models every year)!?
We, at the Productive Muslim Company, understand your challenge. We understand how when we compartmentalize our faith, it’s hard to connect the dots between what the Quran and Seerah teach and concepts such as Productivity, Leadership, Communication or Decision Making…
We also know that you don’t have a lot of time to do the research yourself – between work, family, and community responsibilities – going through books, podcasts, research papers and synthesizing practical knowledge that would impact your day to day life is a daunting task and honestly is a bit overwhelming.
Over the last 10 years, The Productive Muslim Company has been at the forefront of connecting Islam to Peak Performance Science, and with Barakah Academy, we’re expanding our research to connect spirituality with all major topics under Personal and Professional Development.
Barakah Academy is your online platform to train with professionals who want to learn practical personal and professional development skills that are faith-based and linked with the latest research and science.
It’s your global community of like-hearted professionals who want to live a better version of themselves across all their roles.

You’re a busy person, and you don’t have hours of time to sit in front of your computer and watch online courses. That’s why the majority of Barakah Academy courses are divided into bite-sized chunks of 10-15 minutes which you can watch at home, at work, or in between breaks on your desktop or mobile.
We spare you the complicated theoretical research, and academic discussions, and share only the most practical stuff that would have real impact in your life. After each video course, you’ll be able to walk away with practical set of ideas, tips, and techniques to apply to your life immediately.
All our classes are rooted in the Quran, Sunnah, & Islamic history and backed by the latest science in the field. We bring the best of Faith and best of Science to offer you engaging courses that help you lead a balanced lifestyle for this life and set you up for success in the afterlife (insha-Allah)!
Each quarter we’ll set a specific theme for the book club that explores a personal or professional development topic.
For each topic, we’ll explore 2-3 books that discuss the theme from different perspectives. We don’t expect you to agree with every book. That’s part of the process.
Each book you’ll read, you’ll be asked to think about it from a Faith Mindset, Value, or Ritual Perspective. This is about aligning what you read with your spirituality.
Explore the books you read deeper with curated resources that you can explore on your own OR you can join our live discussion at the end of each quarter to hear the latest insights.
If you wanted to read personal and professional development books from a faith perspective, this book club is for you!
Every month, we meet for one-hour as community members of Barakah Academy on a live audio conference to discuss a pre-selected topic of the month.
The topic can either be suggested by you as a member or by any Barakah Academy instructor.
These calls are for you to share your thoughts and stories about the chosen topic at hand and for us as a community to come up with ideas to tackle the biggest challenges we face with regards to the chosen topic.
These calls are the highlight of your experience at Barakah Academy and are extremely insightful!
We have setup a Slack account dedicated to Barakah Academy members.
If you’re new to Slack, don’t worry, you’ll soon get the hang of it once you join (it’s like WhatsApp on steroids!).
Inside the Slack account you’ll be able to discuss topics, ask questions, celebrate successes and keep track of all the latest in the Barakah Academy and its Community.
We offer two membership plans to make the Academy affordable for all. Choose what suits you the best.
We accept all major credit cards. Unfortunately, we do not accept PayPal payments.
Once your payment goes through you can start immediately with your first course.
You have a full 30 days to be part of Barakah Academy.
If you decide during that time that the Barakah Academy is not right for you, just let us know, and you’ll be issued a full and prompt refund, no questions asked! In short, you get a great return on your investment, or you get your money back! It’s that simple.
