The Hundred Golden Rules for a Balanced Life

By Dr. Mohammad Abushaikha
How can you build halal wealth and a thriving life of faith at the same time? One hundred practical rules that bring together building this world and preparing for the Hereafter, in the footsteps of the Prophet ﷺ, his Companions and the luminaries of Islam, past and present.
“Work for your worldly life as if you will live forever, and work for your Hereafter as if you will die tomorrow”
A wise saying that is not an authentic Prophetic hadith, yet its meaning is sound and supported by revelation. The book explains this at the outset.
Each rule has a short wording to memorise, an explanation, five numbered action steps, a one-line visual equation, and a verse or authentic hadith with its source. The second page is left open for you to write in and track the steps over seven days.
Who want to excel at work and grow their income without losing their prayer or family time.
Looking for halal growth, clean partnerships and well-considered decisions.
Who want a clear map for money, habits and faith from day one.
Who want a home that combines barakah and planning and raises children on balance.
The proceeds from the sales of this book are dedicated as an ongoing charity (sadaqah jariyah) on behalf of all deceased Muslims who have no one to give charity for them. Every copy you buy flows with good for others.
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “When a person dies, his deeds come to an end except for three: ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for him.”
