Transformed By Values – Monthly Educational News
I published an Islamic, self-improvement guidebook, called ‘Transformed by Values’, spanning 20 years of my professional work, launched on Friday 24 February 2023 in Sydney. The book is aimed at supporting individuals and families to live a constantly improving – values excellence focused life – to accelerate your highest Islamic well-being and success.
It is an eye-opening 330-page journey to Islamic self-improvement! Filled with vibrant illustrations and over 100 hands-on workbook activities, it’s designed to help you truly embrace your Islamic values.
This captivating guide skilfully combines Islamic teachings with approachable self-help tips, personal growth ideas, neuro-linguistic programming, and practical cognitive psychology insights.
Get ready to embark on this exciting adventure and watch your life flourish one step at a time!
Islam and Ihsan (excellence in your thinking and actions) for me are like two sides of the same coin. Islam is founded on the key value of striving to excel (Ihsan) in everything you are, do, feel and believe – founded on Islamic teachings and values.
Being able to improve our ability to live with ongoing Ihsan/excellence is what inspired me to write this guidebook, to support you in excelling in all key life areas – in your religion, relationships, work life, family life, health and more.
Did you know – How ‘effectively’ you are able to live your Islamic values, determines every thought, choice and decision you make and therefore every response and action (which of course, carries consequences in this life and the next life…)
In other words, your values (whether you are conscious of them or not) determine every area of your life. Most people don’t realise how values have such a governing power in our life. Moreover, values are the key area where we are tested and challenged the most in life!
Your values determine:
• What you like & do not like.
• What you do & don’t do (In your character, relationships, religion, work, health, etc).
• Your goals.
• Your emotional, mental, social & spiritual habits.
• What & how you spend your time.
• What pleases & displeases you.
• What you move towards & away from.
Hence, the quality of your life comes from the quality of how well you live your Islamic values.
How effectively you understand and practice a particular Islamic value governs your thinking, emotions and behaviours related to that value, (eg. self-control of desires, patience under pressure, discipline, God-Consciousness, unshakeable faith, unconditional love…).
So if you are not satisfied with how well you practice one of your values – it simply means how you think about and practice that value, needs a big improvement – a new level of understanding, knowledge and strategy to practice the skill.
In my book, I assist you with each necessary step, starting with exploring and evaluating how well you are currently living your values. The rest of the book then focuses on advanced knowledge, activities and strategies to help you improve your ability to excel in living your Islamic values.
