Handbook of Time Management for Muslims

This Handbook of Time Management for Muslims is the renaming of my earlier book “Progress and Success through Self and Time Management”.
Based on my 8 days presentation to more than 1000 Dawah workers who attended the 3rd International  Virtual Dawah Training Course from 53 countries, certain changes have been made and the presentation in PowerPoint format is being uploaded on Payhip. com-Basheer Juma-Time Management Club.

This training included a new concept of self and time management. That is the lanes and wheels concept and making a grid to assess, understand, control, manage, and improve us.

The teachers, trainers, academicians, religious scholars and executives are expected to organize training based on this book and associated PowerPoint Presentation consisting 600 slides.
