So have you ever wondered what the daily schedule of a productive

Muslim CEO that is managing three companies at the same time looks like?

Well actually like this

and in today's video I'm going to share

you step by step how I'm aligning all of my daily responsibilities with the five daily prayers

and I mean we have amazing business book about everything

but no one is sharing us how to do it as Muslims

so in today's video I'm going to share you how I do it in the most efficient way.

Alright so the first thing that I do

when mapping out my whole daily schedule is looking at the most important things first

which starts of course with looking at the daily prayers the five obligationary daily prayers

that we have to do as a Muslim

and our Prophet sallallahu alayhi alayhi wa sallam said it as well the most beloved by Allah are the ones

that are praying on time so the first thing

that we should do is looking at when do we have our daily prayers

and for me I'm currently staying in Dubai

so I mapped out the daily prayer times of Dubai currently but wherever you are this can work.

I'm doing this schedule when I'm in Amsterdam, when I'm traveling, when I'm in Dubai right now

so it doesn't really matter but the first thing

that you should do is look at when do you have to pray

and maybe you are asking yourself why is he putting Mahrib on top?

Why is Mahrib the first prayer?

So I'll come to that in a second.

So the first thing, most important thing is mapping out when do you have to pray.

The second thing that I do is looking at my sleep because your sleep is also very very important.

It really provides your energy, it is really important to get the right rest, everything like that.

So that's the second most important thing for me.

So like you can see right over here I also mapped out when I'm going to sleep.

So between Isha and Fajr of course is the time that we're going to sleep, that's the night time.

And the most important thing for me is that I at least have between six to eight hours of sleep.

Ideally sometimes when your body really needs it it could be even more.

Sleep is the fundament of everything.

I'm really seeing nowadays how people are really not taking care of their sleep anymore.

People are sleeping like four or five hours a night and I'm seeing big entrepreneurs doing this as well

But for me, it doesn't work.

For me, it's really important to just have the right rest, proper rest, good qualitative sleep.

And that's also why my day is mapped out starting from Maghrib.

It's not only that scientifically it's proven that your morning routine starts in the night, what you do in the evening.

But it's also when you look at the Islamic calendar, the day starts after Maghrib.

So after sunset and when you look at the start of Ramadan for example, the start at a new day,

when you look at the Islamic calendar, the day, the new day starts after Mahrib.

So when we map out our whole day, we should start looking from Mahrib.

But in this scenario, I will start explaining my whole day from Isha.

Why?

Because what most people do is they start their day in the morning.

They think

that their day is starting with the morning routine, you know most entrepreneurs are telling you oh the most important thing is the morning routine

but the actual more important thing is your evening routine what do you do before you go to bed

and why am I saying that

because what you do before you go to bed will determine how you sleep

and that will determine what kind of energy you have to have a productive morning routine

so let's say for example

if you are eating snacks the whole evening you are constantly on your phone you're sleeping very late, you have four hours of sleep,

you're completely tired and low energy and you're going to have a productive morning routine.

You cannot tell me that you are going to have a productive morning routine

if you are not taking care of your evening routine and how much hours you sleep.

So the first thing that I do is after Isha sometimes I go to the masjid

and sometimes I do it at home.

After Isha I have a couple of rules

and this set of rules is actually called the three to one rule the three to one rule

and it starts actually even between mahrib and isha so i will write it down here quickly three two one rule

the three to one rule actually means three hours before i go to bed i don't eat any food anymore because

when you eat a lot of food before you go to bed

it takes a lot of energy for your body to process

that food because what happens when you go to bed

and you eat a lot a lot of food

or even a little bit you go to sleep you close your eyes

but your body is still working is still processing all of the food everything

so it's really bad to eat before you go to bed now two hours before i go to bed,

I make sure that I don't drink anymore.

No water, nothing.

And the reason for that is a little bit the same as the three hours no food before you go to bed.

But the main reason is actually because if you drink before you go to bed,

the likelihood of you needing to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night is getting higher.

Then one hour before you go to bed, no screens.

What I do is I make sure that there is nothing coming into my brain anymore.

No TV, no Netflix, no social media, no phones, no messaging, no calls, nothing just winding down

and taking time and most of the time the three

and the two already starts before isha and the one rule

so no screens nothing is actually after isha

and then in order to know how to structure this rule it's very important

that i determine when i need to go to sleep

and i do that by looking at all right i want between six to eight hours of sleep

and i want wake up at Fajr.

Fajr time currently is 4 30 in the morning, 4 30 a .m.

So normally right now I'm going to sleep between a little bit around 10 o 'clock in the night, in the evening.

So that means that I'm having like two hours after Isha because Isha is at eight.

So what I do right over here is I'm going to the masjid.

I'm reading the Quran, reflecting.

These are the kinds of activities that I'm doing.

Sometimes I go to the masjid, of course I'm focusing on my prayers, sometimes voluntary, extra prayers in the evening.

It's also very good to just wind down and get into the mood of going to bed.

Reading Quran, reading some other books maybe, but most of the time it's just

Quran because all of those business books contain a lot of information that your brain keeps going crazy.

So Quran is just peaceful.

It's just really good for your heart, for your mind.

So it's amazing to do that before you go to bed.

Reciting Surat Al -Mulk, also very important to do before you go to bed.

So these kinds of things are the things that I'm doing.

100

Sometimes I just grab a note, piece of paper and I'm writing down my thoughts.

101

Maybe you have noticed that before you go to bed, all of the thoughts start running and you cannot sleep.

102

That's because you're not taking time to let your thoughts come out.

103

You know, you're constantly

104

When daytime is there you could only thing that you're doing is letting information in when you have some rest

105

You're opening your social media.

106

You're scrolling scrolling scrolling scrolling watching Netflix YouTube videos all day like this video

107

This is information that I'm bringing to you.

108

This is a lot of new information and this is good

109

It's very good that you're watching this video mashallah

110

But it's also important that you take some time sometimes to just write down your thoughts

111

because you are a person that can produce as well.

112

Do not only consume the whole day because that's also a big reason why people are experiencing stress, burnouts, even like that.

113

It already, it all starts by just overstimulating your brain.

114

So between Isha and bedtime, it is very important for me to just wind down and not do anything except from just peaceful things.

115

I even have some glasses.

116

Let me see if where it is.

117

Oh, here is it.

118

So actually during this time what I'm wearing are these cool glasses

119

and these glasses are maybe you can see it a little bit

120

when I put it over here

121

when you're looking through these glasses the whole environment turns a little bit red

122

and the reason why the reason why I'm wearing those glasses is

123

because the red the color red is the lowest color in the Kelvin spectrum

124

and this color red stimulates the creation of the hormone melatonin

125

and melatonin is the hormone in your brain

126

that you need in order to fall asleep so between this no screens

127

because blue light all of these lights during the day you shouldn't have

128

that after sunrise it's very bad for your biological rhythms everything like that

129

It's very bad for your sleep, the quality of your sleep,

130

and usually it takes a lot of time to fall asleep if you're not taking time to wind down a little bit.

131

So that was only the evening routine.

132

So one more time, the evening routine is the most important thing if you want to have a productive day.

133

After that, good qualitative sleep, then you have the morning.

134

So my alarm wakes me up for Fajr.

135

And in the morning when I wake up for Fajr, the most beautiful thing is to just do wudu,

136

fresh up a little bit and go outside to the masjid.

137

If there is a masjid nearby, I always go.

138

If I'm currently staying, traveling at a place where I'm not really close to a masjid, then I unfortunately have to pray at home.

139

But currently here, alhamdulillah, in Dubai, there are a lot of masjids, a lot of masks all over the place.

140

There's just one here around the corner.

141

And it's also really nice to wake up that way.

142

because you're catching some fresh air, which is very good for your body.

143

You're moving a little bit, you know, so it's easier for your body to wake up.

144

So a lot of benefits are for going to the mosque.

145

And I'm even speaking about the barakah that's in your morning when you really go to the masjid and you pray together.

146

So the first thing, like I said, is again, I go to the masjids

147

and I also do some reading

148

and Quran for me one of the best moments of the day to start learning

149

and memorizing quran a little bit is also in the morning

150

because your brain is really fresh you know there's not a lot of things in your brain going on

151

so as you already can see the first thing before

152

we're talking about work before we're talking about going to the gym

153

when i'm going to have food the first things is looking at the prayer times

154

and how can i even

155

because i'm having a very busy day i'm having a lot of responsibilities throughout the day

156

but the first thing I try to prioritize is my deen you cannot have a bad day

157

if you already have such blessings in your day you know having quality of the sleep you're full of energy

158

and you end

159

and start your day with Quran with your deen with peace in mind alhamdulillah

160

that's that's amazing then the second thing of the day what

161

you're actually seeing is these five lines red lines are the moments of my daily prayers

162

which means you have five moments five parts of your day

163

so the biggest mistake i think that people are making is

164

that throughout the whole day they are very reactive

165

so in the morning they are already answering calls going to the gym in the morning

166

then they're going to have some calls in between

167

they're in the middle in the afternoon they're going to do some extra work

168

and And then they're having the family in between.

169

And then they're doing this.

170

And like it's a complete chaos.

171

Like for me the best thing that works is just dividing my day into these five parts.

172

And then the first thing what I do is I dive into some work.

173

And not just normal work.

174

I go and dive into deep work.

175

Deep work.

176

And the reason why I'm writing this so big is that it's the biggest and most important part of my day.

177

So after going to the masjid, in the morning, I dive into my deep work.

178

Now, what is deep work?

179

Deep work is a moment of the day where you are working without being distracted.

180

So that means, like this is my actual computer actually, as you can see.

181

So when I go come home after my prayer I sit down

182

and I make sure

183

that I don't have any phone with me my phone is not with me

184

so when I come home I sit down behind my desk

185

and I start with deep work I start with deep work

186

and deep work means no distraction

187

and full concentrated work on certain tasks the most important tasks of the day first

188

because the actual goal of having a good and productive day is catching as much wins as possible.

189

A win is that I have good sleep.

190

A win is that I'll go to the masjid.

191

A win is that I read the Quran.

192

A win is that I go to the masjid in the morning again.

193

And the other win, one of the biggest win for me, for my company and for my business, is doing the most important tasks first.

194

And I'll get in a second later at the end of this video what kind of list I'm working on

195

because I do that at the end of the day.

196

After I try to schedule my whole day but I'll get into

197

that in a second later on so what I believe is

198

that if you are an entrepreneur

199

and you don't have any deep focus throughout the day

200

then you don't have a productive day you cannot tell me

201

that you have a productive day you're not deep working especially

202

when you're starting out in the beginning this is all

203

that matters and I'm currently managing three businesses at the same time

204

and to do that if without deep work

205

if you're constantly in meetings how can you do your to -dos it's very very hard

206

so I strive for at least four hours of deep work at least

207

so sometimes like you can see right over here at 10 a .m sometimes

208

right over here I have some meetings

209

and I mean I don't really prefer to have meetings in the morning

210

but sometimes unfortunately it just happens and you have to do

211

that but if I don't have any meetings this just continues I just have the deep work until Dohor

212

so that means the time between Fajr

213

and Dohor is completely dedicated to in the morning going to the masjid

214

but after that I immediately go into work

215

and some people say oh I am more productive in the evening

216

or in the night or whatever but it goes against the whole thing

217

that i said here if you work in the night or

218

if you work in the evening your sleep will be less good

219

and that's the reason why you don't have a productive morning routine

220

The reason why you are not productive in the morning

221

and why you can't be productive in the morning is because you don't have a good evening routine.

222

That's the whole reason.

223

Don't tell me that you cannot do this in the morning.

224

Everyone can, but you just need to make sure that you build your routine around it.

225

And let me give you another reason because you don't need to listen to me.

226

You need to listen to our Prophet ﷺ.

227

And our Prophet ﷺ, he made a dua.

228

He made a dua to Allah subhanahu wa ta 'ala for the people who are being productive in the morning.

229

Because what he said, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he said, Oh Allah, bless my ummah in the early mornings.

230

So for that reason, I also dedicate some time to the Qur 'an, because those blessings are the best blessings, of course.

231

But also, I try to do my most important things in the morning, because that's the moment when our ummah, we, are blessed.

232

Our work is blessed.

233

We have barakah in what we do.

234

And also one other thing for the people

235

that say oh I'm productive in the night when you look into the islamic sources

236

It is also not really recommended to do anything between isha and fajr

237

Our prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said as well

238

The only reason for staying up is if you're doing that for prayer or reading quran and getting knowledge

239

Other than that

240

Allah subhanahu wa ta 'ala made the day and the night for us to to separate the day

241

So it's not really smart idea to do things in the night in the evening

242

And then after a fajr and a productive morning, it's time for dohar, dohar prayer.

243

And at the time of dohar at 1 p .m.

244

right over here in Dubai, it means that I already had a working day of seven hours.

245

Seven hours at dohar time in the middle of the day.

246

I've already worked seven hours.

247

And these seven hours are not comparable with the eight hours of a nine to five worker.

248

Why?

249

Because I'm having deep work.

250

And most people in nine to five or people working at an office, they're constantly distracted, you know?

251

They're constantly having conversations with other people.

252

They're getting calls, getting phone calls.

253

They need to send messages and things like that.

254

Like people cannot call me in these hours.

255

Sometimes I'm having meetings, but these are pre -scheduled meetings, not meetings that get out of nowhere.

256

Between this, so right over here, I'm having no phone.

257

So this is a phone.

258

I'm having no phones.

259

You cannot contact me in between this time.

260

So that means that these seven hours can be maybe the same as 14 hours of someone who is working in productive.

261

You know?

262

So in between Fajr and Dohor, I did amazing things.

263

I went to the masjid.

264

I had productive day.

265

I had some meetings if necessary.

266

So then it's time for a break.

267

I worked hard.

268

It's time for a break.

269

And if you want to stay sharp, sometimes it's good to take a break.

270

You have people and entrepreneurs, again, business owners, CEOs that are working from here to there.

271

And I mean, you can do that.

272

But I think the best and most important thing is invest in your health as well.

273

Invest in your sleep.

274

Invest in time to the masjid, like your mental piece.

275

But also to not work like complete 10 hours in a day.

276

So then the next thing that I do, and that's between 1 p .m and 3 p .m.

277

So that's two hours after duhr.

278

I take time for my prayer

279

and then what I'm doing sports taking time for fitness going to the gym things like

280

that plus I'm having a brunch now you might be thinking what is a brunch

281

because I haven't even talked about food yet

282

and you're correct I don't eat I don't eat after

283

I woke up I'm not eating somewhere here I'm just doing something

284

that is called intermittent fasting and intermittent fasting is something

285

that people here in the west in the western world made a very big thing

286

but fasting is very important islam stimulates it during ramadan we are obligated to do

287

that we need to do that as muslims

288

and even our prophet sallallahu sallam on mondays and thursdays he fasted voluntary

289

which i try to do once in a while as well

290

but it's just very important that we don't eat throughout the whole day.

291

I mean, our bodies are not meant to eat breakfast, are eating lunch, snacks in between,

292

dinner, and then snacks in the evening because your body is constantly processing food.

293

I mean, we have to learn from nature.

294

We have to learn from the creation of Allah subhanahu wa ta 'ala.

295

And if people, people have existed for millions of years, you know, millions of years.

296

We have evolved, we have learned things.

297

And throughout this whole period, And this tiny part right over here, this is the modern world, you know, where we have fridges,

298

where we can put food in a fridge so that it stays good.

299

Those millions of years before the modern time, we didn't have fridge.

300

We were lucky if we had hunted one chicken or one cow, one beef, you know.

301

So sometimes you even needed to spend days without food.

302

If you look at the life of our Prophet ﷺ, he didn't eat that much food.

303

And there's also this hadith about the proportion of food that we need.

304

One third of our stomach for food, one third for water, and one third for air.

305

So that means don't fill up your body constantly.

306

And that's what we're actually doing.

307

People are obese.

308

I mean, people back in the days, we're not obese.

309

People right now are not fit, not in a good shape, not in a good health condition why because we're constantly eating

310

and not only eating we're constantly eating unhealthy food junk food

311

we're still eating before sleep eating in the morning things like

312

that i don't do that i don't do that i'm having brunch

313

which means breakfast

314

and lunch in one brunch it's not something i it's actually a very popular word for people

315

that didn't know brunch and i'm doing

316

that until here i'm taking my time i'm taking my time to go to the gym

317

and it can be different sometimes I'm going to the gym, sometimes I'm going for a run,

318

sometimes I'm going to play soccer with friends or anything like that.

319

I really love sports you know so it's just very important

320

that I make my body in motion and moving because I'm having a job where I need to do things online.

321

We're into marketing, software and building all of those things.

322

So most part of the day I'm sitting still, I'm working behind the screen.

323

So for me it's really important

324

that I'm also having a part of my day where my

325

body is in movement where I can go outside where I can play sports anything like

326

that because it's very important to stay in in a healthy good condition you know

327

so I'm taking time for sport about one hour maybe one

328

and a half and then I'm having brunch I'm making sure

329

that I'm going to eat some healthy food and what I'm currently doing already for a couple of months is OMAD.

330

OMAD.

331

Which is one meal a day.

332

So I'm just eating one meal a day.

333

It's a bigger meal than what people are normally lunching.

334

I'm eating like half a kilo of beef or chicken combined with one whole avocado, some extra vegetables or things like that, five to six eggs.

335

So I'm making sure that after sports I'm filling up my body with proteins, with vitamins and all the necessaries for the for the day

336

and it's not completely that i'm doing omad

337

because sometimes after assar i'm having some fruit some nuts some dates throughout the day

338

and i mean i'm a human as well sometimes i want snacks as well

339

but actually let me check somewhere yeah here

340

the best snack that you can have is dates like our prophet did

341

that as well these are containing a lot of healthy things this is coming straight out of nature

342

if you're eating chocolate

343

and all of those things throughout the day then it's really bad for your body you know

344

and what i must realize as well as a ceo

345

you're responsible for not only your company for your money for taking care of your family

346

and take care of your team but it's the most important thing

347

that you take care of yourself i'm not taking care of myself

348

then how can i do this throughout the day how can i have energy how can i make sure

349

that i'm fit

350

if i'm not fit then i cannot do all of those things i cannot be responsible for my own company

351

if i'm not sleeping well if i'm not prioritizing my dean

352

if i'm not eating healthy then i would constantly have brain fuck

353

i will not be sharp i will not really be able to to make sure

354

that uh that i'd be predictive and

355

that i get the right results you know

356

so what i do is called omet

357

but sometimes i'm eating some snacks over here and

358

when i'm really fasting for the sake of allah subhanahu wa ta 'ala

359

then the omet the meal is right over here so sometimes

360

when I'm voluntary fasting the OMAD

361

so the one meal a day is after maghrib after I break my my fast

362

so this schedule is also very easy to adapt

363

if you're fasting even in Ramadan this is a very amazing schedule to use you know

364

so after a quick break I did a shower after sporting

365

i switched my clothes i freshed up i've eaten i've i'm fit

366

i went outside maybe even after going to the gym

367

i'm going for a quick walk i'm completely fresh

368

it feels like a whole new day is about to start after

369

that so then at three

370

and asr is at four i'm having time i'm having a lot of time between maghrib

371

and asr and this can be completely different depending on my day but the The afternoon can consist of some light work.

372

By the way, really sorry for my bad handwriting because yeah, I don't have any excuses.

373

I'm sorry.

374

So it can be light work.

375

It can be meetings.

376

It can be brainstorming about new ideas but it can also be time for some fun

377

damn my handwriting is so bad

378

but it can also be time for some fun i mean how can you even write well

379

when you're sitting like this i i should buy a board where i'm having more more space okay

380

but it can also be for fun activities time with family or something like that

381

sometimes I'm even taking time to have meetings outside

382

actually my day is open it really depends on my day

383

so I can do take time for some light work sometimes I'm having meetings brainstorming

384

but also I have a lot of time for fun activities

385

or take time for family or things like that and the reason

386

that I can do that is because of this morning

387

because I prioritize all of the important things actually it doesn't really matter what I what I do after that.

388

Do you see how I prioritize all of the things throughout the day?

389

So first I look at the prayer times.

390

Then I look at my sleep for my energy.

391

Then I look at how to implement time for my religion, for going to the masjid, reading Quran, all of those things.

392

Then I try to finish the most important things that I have to do for my work first,

393

which I do with deep work then sometimes I'm having meetings

394

then I prioritize my health with sports I'm going to eat healthy I'm going to the gym

395

and then throughout the whole day even before Asr

396

until Isha I have all the time I have all the time to just have fun

397

because sometimes people are thinking as a CEO as an entrepreneur you cannot have fun anymore it's

398

so busy and yes it is very busy I have a lot of responsibilities

399

and sometimes throughout the day I have to work from Asr until Maghrib.

400

Sometimes I have to do that.

401

Sometimes even after Maghrib in the evening, I'm still working.

402

It really happens.

403

But even right now, for example, it is just a little bit after Asr and I'm currently recording a video.

404

It doesn't really matter what I do.

405

I just do the things that are important.

406

Sometimes it's taking time for family and things like that.

407

After Maghrib what I do is I take time for things like family

408

or time for reading or other activities but it's also very important

409

that I must make sure

410

that the 3 to 1 rule is about to start somewhere over here

411

and the biggest mistake that a lot of people are making

412

and I made it myself as well a bunch of times is

413

that this is going well

414

i'm having an amazing day everything is going well business is running i did all of the things

415

that i have to do and then maharif is there

416

and then after that i forget

417

that actually the day is starting then again you know

418

so i'm still on social media or something like

419

that i'm still taking time with family and that is getting late

420

and late and late but you must remember that

421

if you are right over here not taking time for a good routine then the days after

422

that will also not be be right

423

now let me see did i forget anything

424

there's one thing over here before uh isha i plan my whole day

425

so i plan all of this what is about to happen for the next day is i schedule

426

it everything i schedule also my light work or my fun activities

427

or things like that because I need to wake up with purpose let me actually write

428

that purpose the most important thing is

429

that you have purpose in life how can you work on

430

a plan how can you level up every single day

431

if you don't have a plan a normal day starts with a plan good sleep prioritizing your dean

432

and then you have it the most productive routine

433

that I have ever seen and this is not something

434

that I just did out of nowhere

435

this is after a couple of years of optimizing after

436

I referred to Islam I needed to flip the whole schedule as well

437

but this is just by testing and feeling and looking

438

and optimizing about what works best for me

439

and it's not this doesn't mean that you have to do the exact same thing.

440

I mean if you're still going to school or

441

if you have a nine -to -five job

442

it might be very hard to do it like this then I suggest you become an entrepreneur.

443

It's much easier to schedule your own time

444

but also maybe you have an own business and where you cannot align it with this.

445

Maybe you cannot go to the gym in the middle of the day.

446

Maybe you need to do it in the morning or in the afternoon or in the evening.

447

I just share this video to give you a little bit

448

more of an insight in my days how I do it

449

and I think it can be very valuable for you as well.

450

Try to learn, try to be adaptive and also

451

when you're just starting out really important I'm taking sometimes seven hours of deep work

452

so I'm really working hard between Fajr and Dohor.

453

But if you're just starting out, it's really hard to concentrate.

454

This is something you really have to train.

455

So try to implement some of these things step by step if you're just starting out.

456

But the goal should be that you do as much as you can in your day

457

while still taking time for your prayers and for Allah's Baal Hu ta 'ala.

458

Go to the masjid and also for your family, fun activities.

459

If I'm on vacation, I can do this

460

because I'm still taking time with family

461

if I'm in a busy period I can do this

462

because I can dedicate my time more for work even after uh asr

463

and stuff it doesn't really matter this is this is it this is it alhamdulillah alhamdulillah

464

so I hope this video is insightful for you

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
