Allah has changed my life through the abundance of free content available online.

I feel like I was supposed to be a loser.

Divorced parents, overweight, mostly felt like an outcast, terrible grades in school, the shy kid etc.

You get the idea—I’ll leave it there at risk of this sounding like a sob story.

On the flipside, while my life is comfortable, it’s not without problems.

But I’m grateful to Allah that he’s given me access to so much free knowledge online which has helped immensely to turn things around.

• I lost over 100lbs.

• I set the intention to get married and found my now wife within the same year.

• I started a daily writing habit and built an online audience multiple times over, reaching 3M+ views across platforms.

Again, my life is NOT without problems and I’m not telling you this to show you how good my life is or anything weird like that.

It’s just that I can’t emphasise enough how useful a resource something as simple as YouTube can be.

It’s like having access to the best mentors in any area of life you want to improve—Subhanallah.

Anyway, yesterday I was working on creating a “12 week year” planner for you to use (which I mentioned in yesterday’s newsletter).

But, I wanted the planner to be useful, because frankly, a planner on it’s own won’t do anything for you if you approach it with the wrong mindset.

Taking control of your life goes deeper than any organisational tool.

So, I went into my own personal playlist of Islamic videos (I have over 1000 videos I’ve saved over the years btw).

I personally use a lot of them as reminders or inspiration, so I was planning to summarise my favourite teachings that helped fix my own mindset to include as lessons along with the planner.

But then I thought to myself…

Why don’t I just share those videos with you?

This way it also avoids me potentially diluting the lessons.
