That sentence used to haunt me. I’d start strong on Monday. Meal prep. Gym. No snacks. Full motivation. By Friday? One slip-up — and boom. Everything gone. Back to square one. Again. It wasn’t the diet that was the problem. It was the mindset. See, most of us try to be perfect. But perfection isn’t sustainable. Life isn’t that neat. The truth? You will fall off. You will miss workouts. You will eat something “off-plan.” That’s not failure. That’s being human. The real failure? Quitting because you weren’t perfect. What changed everything for me was this simple rule: “Never miss twice.” If I miss a workout today — I make sure I move tomorrow. If I overeat at dinner — I eat clean the next meal. That rule alone built more consistency than any 6-week shred program ever did. You don’t need to go hard for 7 days. You need to show up, even if it’s just 50%, for 70 days. Discipline over motivation. Systems over hype. Progress over perfection. And most importantly — start thinking of your health like your salah. If you miss a prayer, do you give up? No. You return. You make it up. You stay connected. Do the same with your body. It’s an amanah. You don’t need to be extreme — just consistent.

My name’s Sami, and along with my brother Dawood, we built this Skool community to change lives — starting with our own. Before I became a qualified coach and gained 10kg of muscle in a year, I was just like many of you — lost, frustrated, and constantly questioning if I was ever meant to be strong. Growing up, I was the skinny kid. Bullied, overlooked, and insecure. No matter how much I tried to eat or train, nothing stuck. And the worst part wasn’t just how I looked — it was how I felt: ashamed, confused, and distant from who I wanted to be. Fitness advice came at me from all angles — but none of it made sense, especially as a Muslim. It wasn’t until I brought structure, real knowledge, and faith into my journey that everything changed. Alhamdulillah, through trial, error, and full commitment, I transformed. And now with Dawood — someone who’s walked this path with me — we’re here to help you do the same. We built this space for the brothers who are tired of being tired. For the ones who want to look strong and feel strong — not just for dunya, but for their salah, their families, and their future. This isn’t some one-size-fits-all fitness club. This is for Muslims who want to lose weight, gain muscle, or simply take control of their health in a way that aligns with our values. In this community, we train with purpose, eat with clarity, and grow in our mindset — all while staying firm in our deen. Because real transformation doesn’t happen alone. Welcome to the brotherhood. Let’s grow together — for our bodies, our minds, and for the sake of Allah ﷻ. – Sami (Co-Founder)

I’ve had dessert nearly every night for the last few years — and i have stayed in shape the whole time No, I’m not joking. I’ve fasted in Ramadan, eaten Eid sweets, gone to countless walimas and dinner invites, and still managed to stay in shape. Over the years, I’ve tried everything — low carb, high carb, keto, intermittent fasting, carnivore, you name it. But for the last 10 years, my routine has been super simple. It works with my lifestyle, not against it. I can go to family events, break my fast with guests, or eat out with friends — and still stay lean. Many brothers I’ve coached or who’ve eaten with me end up adopting this approach. Once they do, they rarely go back. I’m not saying this is the most scientifically perfect method out there. I’m just sharing what’s worked for me. Here’s how it works: 1. Start with your goal.Are you trying to lose weight or gain it? Be real with yourself. If you want to lose weight quick get your body weight in lbs and x that by 7-9 for extreme weight loss If you want to lose weight slowly then x that by 10 -12 Want to maintain ? x by 13 - 15 Want to Gain ? x by 16 - 21 1. Multiply your bodyweight by a number based on your goal: Example: You weigh 200lbs and want to lose weight → 200 × 10 = calories (this is in lbs, but you can convert to kg or stick with lbs for easier math). Now that’s your daily calorie target. So in this example that is 2000 calories That is how much you need to be consuming in order to lose weight Now the best part is it does not matter if that is 2000 calories of fast food or clean proteins. As long as you do not go above that number you will lose weight 3. Protein first, always. You want to eat 1g of protein per pound of body weight (or ~2.2g per kg). So if you’re 80kg, aim for around 160g of protein a day. Each 100g of chicken breast, fish, or lean beef is about 20–25g of protein. So you’ll need 600–800g of lean meat total per day if you only get protein from meat.
