Assalamualaikum Abdoul One of the beautiful aspects of our religion is the daily reminder to prayer that we hear in the form of the athan. This beautiful call to prayer is a reminder of our daily appointment with Allah (Subhanahu Wa Taala). It also embeds a key understanding of productivity that I want to share with you: Each day, we hear the muathin (Caller to Prayer) say Come to prayer, Come to success. He is reminding us that true success is from Allah (Subhanahu Wa Taala) and that we should seek it only from Him. Yet we think that true success comes from those extra few minutes well continue working whilst we ignore the muathin. Imam Hasan Al-Basri has a beautiful quotation on this point. He says: If your prayers dont mean much to you, then whats more important in your life? As much as you take care of your prayers, your life will be taken care of. Didnt you know that prayer was coupled with success? Come to prayer, come to success. So how do you ask God for success when you are not responding to His right upon you? I hope that next time you hear the athan, youll drop everything and go seek success! Sincerely, Mohammed Faris (aka Abu Productive)
