Everyone was telling us what we SHOULD do to become better Muslims. Amidst all the noise, I couldn’t hear anyone talking about HOW exactly do you do what you are supposed to do as a Muslim? I personally needed HOW more than WHAT. (I knew I had to sleep early and wake up early for Fajr. We all know that. But how does one practically build such habits?)
And so, a tiny blog called Muslim Youth Programme, with a huge agenda and an ever-expanding growth plan was born on 18th December 2017, with the will of Allah S.W.T.
I had no knowledge of blogging (didn’t even know the term before September 2017) and yet, here it is- with the help of Allah S.W.T, a 1-year old blog that is shining with a crew of thousands of bright Muslims behind it.
You know what I’m grateful and proud of (in a good way) the most? The fact that this blog has managed to only attract the Muslims who are willing to work on themselves– whether in a small or big way. Muslims who are of the dearest kind to Allah S.W.T.
The MYP-Crew is one of the best online communities I personally have been a part of, Alhamdulilah, and Allah knows that I’m not giving a biased opinion here. I genuinely am most grateful to know so many amazing conscientious Muslims from all over the globe. *happy tears*
This is a special time of the year for me. It’s the end of a great first year and a start of many more glowing years to come, Insha’Allah. So I decided to create a Content Playbook for all my beautiful Muslims who have been a part of this journey and those who are new (y’all are in for a treat- just sayin’ 
).
A CONTENT WHAT-BOOK, NOW?!
A Content Playbook for 2018- it contains ALL the content created in the first year of Muslim Youth Programme. Everything in ONE place so you can glide through and pick what you like 
The content, as its obvious, is all about self-development (becoming a better version of yourself) posted under different categories to help you navigate easily.
Hope you enjoy this!

MYP GOALS FOR 2019
Diversify the types of content on the blog (add audio-versions of blog posts and more video content).
Host Free LIVE online workshops.
Continue adding Invaluable Free Downloads to MYP-Library. A few that are sitting on the top of my list are: The Ultimate Time-Management Guide, Happy Muslim Checklist, Self-Esteem Boosters, Monthly Planners, Healthy Muslim Diet Plan (among others)…
Launch my upcoming Signature Program (pray that Allah S.W.T adds barakah in this).
Maybe start a YouTube channel or Podcast?! (if not this year then Insha’Allah 2020)
Create more free short e-courses/ e-guides.
Hire MYP-Team members (voluntary and/or paid)
Stay connected to my Email buddies via MYP-Weekly.
Maybe start a FB group for all MYP crew members so we can all stay connected, sharing our problems and helping each other grow. (Or I might break the hibernation mode of our Instagram account and post personal as well as blog-related content regularly 😀 ). Obviously, I will need help to manage these Social Media accounts along with all the other things- so until I can get a Personal Assistant or a volunteer, this one will just have to stay on the back-burner!
INSHA’ ALLAHU TA’ ALA!!
Finally
I HAVE A REQUEST FOR YOU
I want to ask you to make special duas for each and every one of these beautiful Muslims who have contributed to Muslim Youth Programme in more ways than one.
