Niyyah
Niyyah
Intention. Purpose. Transformation.
Welcome to my journey, and maybe the beginning of yours. I’m Jason Rashaad. In Islamic thought, niyyah means “intention”—a purpose in the heart that drives action. My niyyah has transformed my life from facing liver failure and emergency dialysis to rebuilding my strength, discipline, and wellness, and now sharing that path with others.
What Comes Next?
From a place of crisis to resilience, I’ve made this journey my mission. Three years ago, I was bed-bound, facing liver failure, emergency dialysis, and severe physical and mental decline. Through relentless intention and discipline, I fought back. Today, I’m stronger and more focused than ever, helping Black men over 40 find their own path to health and wellness, no matter where they’re starting.

Why Niyyah?
Niyyah is more than a word; it’s a lifestyle of intentional living and forward momentum. It reminds me—and hopefully you—that real change comes from purpose, one intentional step at a time. Health, fitness, and resilience are the path. What Comes Next is built on each new day of commitment.
