Claritas Books was thrilled to host Mohammed Faris and a crowd of fifty at the Plexal Centre in London on March 28 for the book launch of Productive Muslim. Faris, who is from the US, was joined on the stage by Heena Khaled.

After his introduction, Faris shared a never-before-seen, exclusive, three-minute video and a powerpoint presentation outlining the main points of his book, which combines his love for Islam with modern productivity techniques. There was a Q and A session, with lots of engagement from our fabulous audience, and then Faris was available to sign copies of his book.

Singer Maher Zain made an appearance as well and took selfies with several attendees. Snacks and canapes were served, and it was a wonderful opportunity for London Muslims to meet Claritas staff and Mohammed Faris and make new bookish friends. Productive Muslim is a faith-inspired book that introduces readers to practical habits and leads to a productive lifestyle. It combines Islamic tradition with modern psychology to help urban, global Muslims lead a productive lifestyle ­spiritually, physically, and socially. (Check out his website for tons of resources, including planning tools, videos, and infographics.)

This re-launch of Productive Muslim was the first book launch for Claritas Books, which is the new brand identity for Awakening Books. Not only was this launch a celebration to welcome Claritas Books to the world, but also to welcome Productive Muslim to the Claritas family! Buy your copy of Productive Muslim here, and look out for our interview with Faris, which will be out on social media soon.
