The Productive Muslim Company is a productivity training company.
This virtual organization and a website specializes in providing materials for the Muslim Ummah combining teachings of Islam with contemporary productivity tips and advice.[1] ProductiveMuslim is managed by an international team of volunteers from different countries. These include Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Egypt and Morocco.[3]
History
ProductiveMuslim.com started as a personal online journal for Mohammed Faris, the founder, where he recorded his thoughts on topics that connect Islam to productivity. In July 2008, the website was launched.[1] With the support of an international team of volunteers, the website grew and its content improved over time. In July 2011, ProductiveMuslim was registered as a company under the name ProductiveMuslim Ltd.[4]
Website
Content
The website has been providing articles, podcasts, retreats, animation videos, doodles and an online academy since October 2008. Today, there are hundreds of articles on the website.[5] The articles represent lessons extracted from the Quran, seerah of the Prophet Muhammad, and history of Islamic civilization, collated with modern tips and tools that lead to a productive lifestyle.[3] The articles are categorised into 6 categories: Ramadan & Productivity, Islam & Productivity, Get Motivated, Feel Better, Work Better and Help Others. They are written by a variety of volunteer contributors, productivity experts and editors. The use of ProductiveMuslim's popular "orange stickman" in the videos added to the distinctive branding of the videos.[1]
Localisation
ProductiveMuslim.com is localised according to languages, not regions. It is available in English, Arabic and French.
