Accept, ARM & Strive

About the Book

Accept, ARM & Strive is an unfiltered, genre-defying narrative that explicitly bridges the parquet corridors of the corporate world with the absolute surrender of a modern-day Faqir. Written in a raw, highly conversational, and fiercely direct style, the book traces the author’s real-world journey, from surviving a horrific childhood inferno to waging strategic warfare against entrenched bureaucratic corruption and navigating profound spiritual phenomena. At its core, the text functions as a deeply moving monument to the author's late son, ARM, transforming immense parental grief into an uncompromising rallying cry for spiritual steadfastness and moral accountability.

The book strikes directly at the core crises of modern life, dismantling everything from the deceptive global banking systems of riba and institutional laziness to the toxic digital addictions fueled by tech tycoons. Covering essential realities, including severe stress, anxiety, depression, and the parental grief of losing a child, accept, ARM & Strive refuses to compromise with superficial societal norms. It is a powerful, urgent demand for readers to reject distractions, starve the corrupt structures of the world, and return to an authentic life defined by halal earning, unconditional service to others, and absolute faith.

About the Author

Khawaja Mazhar Iftikhar is an English Literature graduate, a seasoned corporate executive who served at the highest levels of the FMCG sector, and a former public servant within the Pakistan Bait-ul-Maal. Operating under the tactical spiritual call sign of "the honey badger," his career spans intense institutional battlefields, corporate boardrooms, and a lifelong devotion to Sufi spiritualism under the guidance of the great mystics of Lahore. Following the devastating loss of his 24-year-old son, Abdurrahman Mazhar (ARM), in 2024, Khawaja turned away from corporate life toward deep hibernation and writing, channeling raw grief, an extraordinary memory, and uncompromised faith into a mission to challenge modern materialism and societal rot.
