Strive For Excellence

The Five Currents of Human Excellence

That man can have nothing but what he strives for
Qur’an 53:39, An-Najm. Abdullah Yusuf Ali translation.

The same 5 levels, the same order and the same prices as the Universal track. Each trait is taught from the character of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), with the Qur’an and hadith cited on the page where they belong.

The character model is drawn from the documented character of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The traits themselves are universal and appear across many traditions and in modern research. So the program ships in two source versions, and you pick the one that fits your room. The trait and the practice never change between versions. Only the story does.

One thread runs through every module: tawakkul. Do your part first, fully, then leave the outcome with Allah. It is not passivity; waiting for a result without trying is not reliance. And it is where the peace comes from. Whatever follows honest work is part of a merciful plan.

Bring Strive to your masjid

Our team, led by Chaka, replies within two business days with a recommendation and pricing. If your room has no budget, say so. Rooms with no budget are not turned away.

Grounding in the deen. Someone who can place a question in the Qur’an and the Seerah honestly, and say plainly where a question stops being theirs to answer.

Tell us about your room

No cost to ask, and no obligation. Chaka answers these himself.

That band puts under 18s in the room, so a parent or guardian gives written permission before anything is arranged, and no young person is added to any list. We will send the permission form with his reply.

The Circle: Partnerships & Development for Community Life

On the Rooted track, The Circle meets on deenpartner.app, $9.99 a month. Ten percent of every membership goes to a masjid: the one its circle signed up from, or Masjid Ash-Shaheed, our home masjid, when none is chosen.

Every masjid is welcome to start its own Circle here. This site is the hub and the home base, and each masjid’s circle gives back to its own house.
