Assalamualaikum and thanks a lot for tuning in.

This is part one of a series of two episodes where Atiba will be sharing tips on how to have better Khushoo or concentration in Salah. In this part, Atiba talks about some wrong mindsets and misconceptions that we may have which prevent us from having the best Salah that we are capable of, and gives tips on how to challenge these ideas and take the first step towards having better Khushoo in our prayers.

Assalamualaikum and hope you had a lovely and blessed Eid. This week we bring to you our first solo episode where Atiba talks about a book that has been a major inspiration and partly the reason for existence of the Soulful Productivity podcast itself! 

The book, called The Productive Muslim, is all about how you can be productive without ignoring Islam in your worldly pursuits. Atiba goes into detail about how this book introduced her to the concepts of Barakah and setting intentions in Islam and how these concepts can really help us achieve more while also connecting us with Allah more than what we ever thought was possible.
