In the opening session of the RYSE Coaching Program, Othman sets the stage for a 16-week transformational journey, emphasizing the sacred trust of helping each participant realign their life around Allah (SWT). This program is more than just coaching—it’s about shifting identity, rewriting your purpose, and building a life rooted in divine intention.
The Recognize phase begins by confronting a powerful truth: there is no true success—material or spiritual—without Allah (SWT) at the center. While many claim to live for Allah, our actions often reveal different priorities.
This video explains the foundational role of the nervous system in how we experience life, make decisions, and navigate emotional and physical responses. Kareem highlights that before we can transform our mindset or behavior, we must understand the system that governs how we react to the world: our nervous system.
This session explores the neuroscience and spiritual wisdom behind emotional reactivity, teaching you how to decode what your emotional responses are trying to tell you. Whether it’s anger, sadness, anxiety, or avoidance, every emotion has a root. The key is learning to observe, not suppress—and to meet our emotions with curiosity, not shame.
The fourth session of the Recognize Phase focuses on understanding how our thoughts shape our reality and why many of our limitations are self-imposed. Othman explains how our brains are wired for negativity bias, causing us to adopt distorted thoughts that limit our growth. The key to breaking free is recognizing and challenging these thoughts while centering life around Salah to create clarity and focus.
The fifth session of the Recognize Phase dives deep into the root causes of discontent—and how to find true contentment by shifting our mindset, rewiring the brain, and confronting the internal narrative that shapes our lives. Othman emphasizes that what society sells as “happiness” often leaves us feeling empty because it relies on external validation.
This video recaps the Recognize Phase, where we built self-awareness by questioning thoughts and emotions instead of accepting negativity. Now, in the Yearn Phase, we visualize our ideal life, free from limiting beliefs, and align our actions toward it. Salah remains the foundation of success, guiding us to structure our day with purpose. Ultimately, our life is a book we’ll present to Allah—let’s make it one we’re proud of. Join us as we take the next step in this transformative journey!
The seventh session of the Recognize Phase focuses on the ultimate accountability we all face: standing before Allah ﷻ and reading the book of our lives—our Kitaab. Othman guides clients through a powerful reflection: What will your book say? If life ended today, would the record reflect a mission aligned with Allah, or one built around dunya metrics like promotions, income, and productivity?

In this session, we begin the Yearn Phase, exploring why many struggle to live their ideal life. Using the Rider, Elephant, and Path model from Switch, we break down how logic, emotions, and environment influence change. The key to lasting transformation is clarity in goals, emotional connection, and shaping your surroundings for success. This phase is about designing the life you truly want and taking real steps toward it.
The second session of the Yearn Phase begins with a reminder of the true meaning of success. Othman emphasizes that modern society often defines success in materialistic terms—money, status, and prestige—while Islam frames success differently, prioritizing our relationship with Allah (SWT) and our commitment to salah (prayer).
