Ep 49: Supercharge Your Spirituality with a Morning & Evening Routine – Shahbaz Mirza (Towards Faith)

Shahbaz Mirza, founder of Towards Faith (formerly Ramadan Legacy), joins us for a third time on the show to share details of the new Faith & Focus Morning and Evening Journal – a daily system for being and doing.

In this episode, Shahbaz and Usman catch up on the latest developments within the Towards Faith brand, and dive deep into the world or productivity, daily routines, and how strugglers and seekers can best utilise their time for maximum spiritual self-development.

With an overwhelming amount of self-help content on the internet and every guru pointing you towards their latest productivity hack, one glaring issue is that most of these are not centred around God and a faith-based mindset. Sure, they may be useful for planning your day and motivating you to check off the tasks on your to-do list, but where does your daily worship fit into this? What about your five prayers, your Qur’an recitation, your dhikr (remembrance), your personal character building, your intentions, and other spiritual activities? Between the morning yoga and the mid-day greens smoothie, do these mainstream methods provide any real systems for incorporating Islam into your day and improving your relationship with Allah?

That’s exactly what we discuss in this episode, and explore how this new product has been designed to be a simple, yet powerful tool for busy Muslims who want to be more, whilst doing more at the same time.

Stay tuned until the last portion of the episode to watch Shahbaz and Usman spontaneously play the Reflection Deck game together. Things get very deep!

• The difference between learning Islamic educations vs implementing the knowledge into your own life.
• What’s the deal with morning and evening routines, and why are they important?
• The problem with mainstream ‘hustle’ culture and its lack of a faith-based mindset.
• What does Allah SWT say about the morning and the evening in the Qur’an, and why is this significant for our own lives?
• What triggered the creation of the Faith & Focus journal, and how does its system work?
• How the Prophet (s), the Companions (r) and the greatest Muslim inventors used Islam to enhance and speed up their work, not slow it down.
• A step-by-step journey through the Faith & Focus journal (goal setting, planning, gratitude journaling, and more).
• How the journal and its various daily prompts are designed to set you up for success and make you a better Muslim, practically and spiritually.
