Why Working with Dr. MohaNNad is so special
My personal and professional qualifications have been anchored in three values: SERVICE, EXCELLENCE, and EMPATHY:
SERVICE & ACTIVISM
You are the best community ever raised for humanity—you encourage good, forbid evil, and believe in Allah. [3:110]
From a young age, I was taught Islam the way that merges knowledge with action, and combines beneficial knowledge with impactful service to Allah’s creation.
I have served in Muslim boy scouts since my early childhood. Been to countless events that involved serving the needy, caring for the orphans, and teaching the youth.
I was the president of the Muslim Student Club (known as the Makassed Alumni Club) at the American University of Beirut for 3 years
I was a content creator for world-acclaimed Islamic programming at Iqraa Satellite Channel
I have memorized the book of Allah and shared its powerful messages through tafsir (interpretation) and tadabbor (reflection) for decades
My passion for the Quran was shared at reputable platforms in the online Muslim space, such as Almaghrib Institute, Quran Reflect community, and About Islam.
I have compiled the 40 Hadith on Community Service and Activism,
which is meant to be a handbook for Muslims on a mission to drive
positive change in the 21st century and beyond, inshaAllah

I joined The Productive Muslim Company as a certified partner and trainer,
to join their mission in spreading the Barakah Culture through teaching
their acclaimed Productive Muslim Masterclass.

I founded the Community of Givers, an online community of caretakers who seek to purify their souls through intentional giving
I am currently pursuing a Masters Degree in Islamic Sharia,
aiming to solidify my accumulated knowledge and experience
with academic foundations at the reputable Beirut Islamic College

In addition, I am teaching Islamic studies at the Al-Hayat International School,
an International Baccalaureate (IB) School in Lebanon with commitment
to raise strong faithful caretakers of God’s earth.

When you work with me, you benefit from over 20 years of experience in activism and personal development, spanning diverse regions from the Middle East (Lebanon and Turkey) to North America.
Excellence
But seek, through that which Allāh has given you, the reward of the Hereafter; and [yet], do not forget your share of the world. And do good as Allāh has done good to you. And desire not corruption in the land. Indeed, Allāh does not like corrupters." [28:77]
The question of success in the afterlife was never about seeking some form of “balance” between the material and the spiritual,
It was never an “OR” game:
Dunia (Worldly life) OR Akhera (hereafter) Goals,
Memorize the Quran OR Study for your exams.
It has always been a matter of AND: Dunia AND Akhera,
Material Success that enhances spiritual fulfillment,
And beneficial knowledge that drives more worldly achievements and goals.
Through this formula, and with the help of Allah alone, I was able to achieve:
A PhD in Mechanical Engineering
12 years of experience in the automotive industry (worked at both Chrysler and Ford Motor Company)
Authored 80+ Technical Papers and Patents
Co-founded Alchemy Tech AI, a Consulting company that delivers customized Software and AI solutions to clients in multiple industries.
Built a thriving online coaching business, Hekmah Coaching, that serves clients and students from all over the world, and helps plant the seeds of their legacy through the Barakah framework.
Coached 20+ clients to help them navigate challenging situations in their lives, and upgrade their mindset, routines, and systems towards achieving the best version of themselves.
Alhamdulillah, by the will of Allah, I was able to accumulate experience both in the corporate world as well as the nonprofit Muslim space. Through my programs and coaching, I try to bring this unique perspective to high-achieving Muslims who are trying to make an impact in their personal lives and in the lives of others.
EMPATHY
Abu Musa reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, the believers are like bricks of a building, each part strengthening the other,” and the Prophet clasped his fingers together. [Bukhari & Muslim]
Inspired by this beautiful Hadith, my coaching philosophy is rooted in supporting each client to become a strong, unique brick that shape the body of the Umma. While global challenges may affect us all, each person’s journey, goals, and struggles are distinctly their own.
I’ve walked in the shoes of many of my clients. Having four children and being a deeply involved father, I understand the demands of busy parenting. And recently, relocating to Lebanon in the midst of war and financial crisis to care for my aging parents has given me firsthand experience of the challenges facing the sandwich generation.
Additionally, my work with Muslim youth and their parents in the U.S. has given me a unique perspective on the struggles of immigrant communities. I’ve often served as a bridge between generations, advocating for the voices of youth while conveying the wisdom of parents. This has provided me with insight into the complexities my clients face in balancing faith, family, and professional life.
Because of these experiences, I understand that there is no one-size-fits-all solution. That’s why I approach each client’s unique challenges with love, care, and undivided attention. I slow down and listen—not just to what is spoken, but to what remains unsaid, understanding both their emotions and experiences. Together, we craft customized plans to overcome obstacles and achieve meaningful goals.
In my coaching, I am not the “Sage on the Stage” but the “Guide on the Side,” making the client’s story and journey the center of the process. Every individual is important, treated with care and attention as if they were my only client.
In every coaching session, I aim to create a safe, confidential, and judgment-free space. No question or challenge is too small or insignificant. Every client matters deeply, and I approach our conversations as if I were speaking to an audience of 100,000 people or as if they had invested $100,000 in our session. In fact, the Hadith of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) beautifully captures the true return on investment (ROI) of guiding even one person to find their way in life:
“By Allah, that Allah guides a man through you is better for you than a herd of expensive red camels.” [Bukhari & Muslim]
