Engineering the Dream: From Wishing to Upright Striving, and From Attachment to Outcomes to Contentment with God's Decree

About this book

In Engineering the Dream, Dr. Mahmoud Antar Al-Abbasi asks what a life is for and separates the dream that moves a person to act from the daydreams that offer brief comfort and then stall progress. Drawing on the Quran and authentic Sunnah alongside ideas from behavioural psychology and life management, the book sets out a practical way to define a purpose, order the means to reach it and build lasting habits. The author also examines the cost of comparing oneself with others, and the balance between making every effort and accepting God's decree with contentment. Written for readers who have stumbled or lost time and want to begin again, it is published in Arabic by Wameed Publishing and Distribution.
