“The Barakah Effect unveils a universal reality, revealing a practical approach to a spiritual law. In a contemporary world where the unseen and the sacred has become a seemingly distant fiction, Mohammed Faris helps demystify a tangible spiritual truth that can be witnessed and evidenced in our everyday lived experience. This book is not only essential reading for reconnecting us with our innate sacred relationship with the Divine Reality, it offers a simple and clear guide to implementing ancient wisdom within our perceived mundane lives. The poignant concepts and steps articulated within the pages of this modern manual ignite a literal paradigm shift in how we view success and productivity.” — Dr. Abdallah Rothman, President of the International Association of Islamic Psychology
