From a Blog to a Global Platform

In 2007, ProductiveMuslim.com was born as the personal blog of Mohammed Faris (aka Abu Productive) who wanted to share his personal reflections on the link between Islam and Productivity. Over the years, the blog grew into a global platform led by a dedicated team of volunteers that inspire thousands of Muslims every day to lead more productive lives through their articles, videos, animations, infographics, worksheets, webinars, and more.

The team now faces the challenge of translating their content into the top languages of the Ummah in order to truly reach the far corners of the Ummah, and for that, they need your help.

The Challenge

As a team - we are aware that only 7% of the Muslim world speak English. This means that if we want our message of productivity to truly inspire the Ummah, we need to seriously work hard to translate our content into the top languages spoken in the Muslim world.

The question is: where do we start?

We would love to translate our entire website, but that’ll be too expensive and we don’t have the internal capacities to manage such a massive translation project.

Having said that, we thought of starting our translation effort with something succinct from our website, yet powerful, and this is the Productive Muslim Manifesto.

These are:

1. Arabic

2. Urdu

3. Malay

4. Bahasa Indonesia

6. French

We really want the entire Ummah to read, benefit, and implement the key concepts and practical tips of this manifesto into their lives.
