While people on social media share their achievements of 2025, mine is this: I survived. The past few weeks felt like my last days on earth. I slept sitting up because I couldn’t lie down, and even lying on a hospital bed felt like an extreme task. I needed help just to stand. Every moment felt heavy, exhausting, and uncertain. Those days stripped life down to its reality. When you are truly suffering, when your body gives up and your strength disappears, the world keeps moving. Very few notice. Very few stay. In the end, it is only you and Allah.

Wait—why does the Skools app logo have a Santa hat? Isn’t this app built specifically for the Muslim ummah by a Muslim founder??

Plz don't hesitate to ask what's your problem. I'll try to guide you with my best knowledge Insha Allah. Why Personal Branding Is Becoming a Non-Negotiable Skill for Every Service Provider in 2026 I'm writing this after 1.5 years of experimental journey. One thing I’ve realised recently, and honestly, it took me 4 YEARS to understand this, is that personal branding is no longer optional, especially if you sell any kind of online service or you’re trying to build an agency. Before 2026 starts, every freelancer and agency owner needs to hear this clearly and please make it your new year resolution as well: If people don’t know you, they can’t trust you. If they don’t trust you, they will never pay you. Simple. And the best (or maybe the worst) part is… Clients don’t trust logos anymore. They don’t trust “agencies.” They don’t trust Fiverr portfolios. They don’t trust long proposals. But they trust one thing: Your face. Your voice. Your thoughts. Your presence online. Especially when you are from Pakistan and trying to work with foreign clients. ----------- Why Personal Branding Matters Even More for Pakistanis Let’s be honest here. We already start with a little disadvantage in the international market. Foreign clients think: “Will he deliver?” “Is he reliable?” “Will he disappear?” “Does he understand my business?” “Is he serious or just trying something random?” And that’s where personal branding changes everything. When they see your videos, your explanations, your opinions, your energy suddenly you are not “some freelancer from Pakistan.” You become: 1.a real person 2.an expert 3.a trustworthy human 4.someone serious 5.someone who understands their problems And trust me… This alone makes it 10x easier to close premium clients. --- Personal Branding ≠ Becoming a Content Creator Most people misunderstand this part. Personal branding in 2026 DOES NOT mean: ❌ posting any new AI tools video or shiny stuff, don't. ❌ following trends ❌ trying to be funny

Three days ago, on my way to university, I was crossing a three-lane road. I crossed the first lane, but the moment I stepped onto the second, something strange happened. I completely zoned out. I forgot I was standing in the middle of a road, while cars were moving around me. I stood there blank, not realizing a speeding car was coming straight toward me. It was only when the driver suddenly pressed the horn that I snapped back in a nanosecond and stepped away. In that moment, I understood how close everything was to changing. I truly believe Allah protected me. I had prayed my morning adhkar before leaving home, and that reminder stayed with me: "Remembering Allah brings protection in ways we don’t even see."
