iManifest (ʾīmān + mæn.ɪ.fɛst) is the debut product and free offering under my project, #deenfluencer. The inspiration for this stems from my deep connection with the concept of Tazkiyah, which I discovered and fell in love with while reading a particular book. Tazkiyah refers to the “purification of the self,” a transformative process of spiritual and mental growth within the framework of Deen (faith).

While introspection is a crucial part of this journey, certain aspects can often be overlooked, depending on an individual’s state of mind. It’s no secret that writing down your thoughts and feelings can help you understand them more clearly. However, when the pressures of year-end deadlines collide with a flood of reflections from earlier months, many find themselves staring at a blank page, unsure of where to begin.

You might glance at your desk planner and notice it was diligently filled during the first few months of the year, only to see empty pages thereafter. This happens because the initial focus is often on “New Year, New Goals”—the pursuit of a new me, rather than a better me.

While the end of the year is often a time for reflecting on results, it is also a period of revelations and realisations. This guided journal is designed to help the growing Muslim introspect and rediscover themselves, paving the way for the process of Tazkiyah (self-purification).

It is a 40-page workbook that addresses the general Muslim lifestyle while offering a flexible, borderless framework for introspection, allowing users to set their own pace. Structured for a 90-day journey, targeting the final three months of the year, this journal provides a head start for planning the upcoming year. By wrapping up reflections as early as October, users can enter the new year with clarity and purpose.

Some pages are designed like planners, enabling users to outline personal goals for growth as a Muslim. This creates a 3-month trial-and-error phase, allowing individuals to refine their habits and cultivate a better outlook before the new year begins. Of course, this journal is first and foremost a tool for guided reflection and should complement, rather than disrupt, pre-existing targets and goals—many of which may be career-focused rather than centered on personal growth.

NOTE: Before you download this guided journal, the first step is to carve out a few minutes of dedicated journaling time in your current schedule.

Since the layout is undated, this journal can be used and reused whenever you’re ready to begin your journey of introspection. I’ve published and released it in time for the last three months of the year, partly because this period is ideal for reflection. With year-end holidays approaching and the natural slowdown of the season, it’s the perfect opportunity to focus on self-growth.

I also want to include a recommendation for Muslims in today’s world: start your own conviction circle. Find fellow brothers and sisters in faith to discuss Islam in your daily conversations or scheduled meetings. It doesn’t have to be formal or structured like a classroom setting. In fact, there’s an institute that offers free resources and even short training sessions to help you get started.

The topics are diverse, and in shaa’ Allah, these discussions will strengthen the bonds of brotherhood and sisterhood in Islam while broadening your perspectives through shared knowledge.

In the middle pages of the workbook, you’ll dive deeper into self-discovery, addressing fears, grudges, and habits you want to break (after all, who says quitting is always a bad thing?).

The final pages focus on incorporating religious habits into your daily routine or improving existing ones, particularly Tawbah (repentance) and Solat (prayer). I’ve always emphasized that planning your day around Solat times is the most effective approach, especially for those who lead busy, fast-paced lives.

Again, this is not a planner, so some worksheets are grouped in sets of three to help you explore and refine the best possible scenarios for integrating your dream Islamic lifestyle—habits you can start implementing as early as the upcoming year.

Finally, the workbook concludes with an overall check-in and guidance on next steps. This is followed by 12 simple Qur’an journaling pages designed for the last 12 weeks of the year. These pages are meant to help you build the habit of reading, understanding, and reflecting on Surahs of your choice, fostering a deeper connection with the Qur’an.

So, that’s it!

This workbook is ideal for new Muslim converts who may feel overwhelmed by the abundance of information from all sides. It provides a private space and time to adapt to an Islamic lifestyle at their own pace. It’s also perfect for reverts returning to their practice or anyone looking to improve their current state, in shaa’ Allah.

You can download this workbook for free and print it for personal use only. Please review our policy on the use of digital media on our website. I’ve included this as part of my latest content and pitched it for the Messengers of Peace Academy Online Da’wah Training Program as part of the practical portion of my training.
