General

After having recently resuscitated this blog, we are now ready for visitors to subscribe by email to “The Faith-Conscious Leader” newsletter.

For the past 10 weeks, many people have joined me on LinkedIn for the newsletter’s weekly reflections on leading with intention, ihsan (excellence) and purpose.

Now, for readers (including a friend of yours!) who prefer to receive each newsletter article directly by email, you can subscribe right from this blog itself:

🔗 https://rubah.my/subscribe

In each edition, insha Allah, I continue to explore the inner dimension of leadership: how faith, discipline and meaning shape our choices and impact.

Whether you follow the newsletter on LinkedIn or receive it by email, I keep my intention:

💌 To reconnect faith and leadership, week by week and to learn to lead from inside out, from heart. 💌

Alhamdulillah, “The Faith-Conscious Leader” newsletter continues to grow. Thank you for your reading, encouragement and support along the way.

We’re back! After TypePad’s shutdown on 30 September 2025, we’ve entirely rebuilt (!) the 10-year old Rubah blog on WordPress. Alhamdulillah.

You’ll notice a cleaner look, faster pages, and clearer categories so you can find what you need quickly.

What’s new

• Categories: Newsletter, Faith-Inspired Strategy, Innovation & Transformation, Leadership & Renewal, Productivity & Mastery, Community & Ecosystem, Archives & Legacy.

• Mobile-first reading: Posts are easier to read on your phone.

• Media refreshed: We’re restoring images and videos where possible. Some older posts may still be missing media. Thank you for bearing with us.

What’s ahead

• Weekly posts (insha Allah), including cross-posts from my LinkedIn newsletter The Faith-Conscious Leader.

• Practical tools, reflections and stories from client work and community.

Managed to ride 10km today, like last month. Slightly faster this time. On the way to 100km again. A long way!

– Surviving a tech provider’s shutdown

I’m on Day 2 of rescuing what I can of blog posts, their images, links, etc. before the immovable deadline (yeah, dead!) of 30 September 2025 when my blogging platform permanently shuts down.

I have lamented this before (https://lnkd.in/g7N9gHBE) — I am enslaved to tech! Commenters suggest I turn the two decades of blogging into books, for immortality. Next year’s project! Insha Allah.

Next weekend I will be migrating the rescued blog minutiae to another platform. Blogs will be back soon!

Video of the rescue to-do’s below!
