TAQDEER LIFE ISLAMIC GRATITUDE JOURNAL
Taqdeer Life was conceived in 2017 when its creator, Samia Quddus, a qualified Integrative Therapist (MBACP), struggled to find a gratitude journal that integrated Islamic, psychotherapeutic, and scientific principles. This inspired her to create Taqdeer, an Islamic Gratitude Journal.
A comprehensive bibliography within the journal highlights the diligent research and care Samia has undertaken, ensuring that users - the Taqdeer Life family - can benefit from an effective Alhamdulillah journaling experience.
The Islamic faith recognises that expressing appreciation (Shukr) is a simple yet profound way to nurture a constant state of worship. Scientific research affirms that cultivating an "attitude of gratitude" fosters greater happiness by grounding individuals in the present. Practicing Shukr in both hardship and ease helps one recognise their blessings and fully embrace the concept of Alhamdulillah.
Taqdeer Life is a faith-inspired Islamic gratitude journal designed to cultivate an Alhamdulillah (praise be to God) mindset. By combining Islamic teachings with scientific insights, the journal encourages users to centre gratitude and remembrance of God in their daily lives - principles that support well-being and personal growth through psychological mindfulness.
Unlike other Islamic-themed lifestyle journals, Taqdeer Life does not take a "pick & mix" approach to various concepts. Instead, it is solely dedicated to the practice of Shukr through spiritual remembrance, presented in creative yet accessible ways. Much thought has gone into crafting a modern, simple, and desirable product that also serves as a holistic tool. Taqdeer Life strikes a careful balance - offering manageable and achievable self-reflective tasks while fostering a deeply ingrained Alhamdulillah mindset.
Taqdeer is More than just a Journal.
"I love that there is some variation. I have tried different journals with the same repetitive prompts throughout and I was not a big fan."

TAQDEER THANKFULNESS CARDS
In December 2020, we ran an Instagram poll asking the Taqdeer family to share their preference for a reflective tool that would complement our Islamic gratitude journal. An overwhelming majority voted for cards - so we listened. In February 2021, we launched the newest addition to our growing brand: Taqdeer Thankfulness Cards, Alhamdulillah.
Chic, contemporary, and beautifully designed, Taqdeer Thankfulness Cards offer an uplifting, engaging, and spiritually reflective experience.
