In this spellbinding story from author Waheeda Joosab, a beautiful, intelligent, and strong-willed Muslimah, Zainub, finds herself in a nikah, arranged over-night, thanks to her terminally ill father, with a successful, good looking, and free-thinking lawyer, Ahmed Mia.
Ahmed Mia never intended to marry, EVER! When his late dad’s friend, Uthman Habib calls on him to help wind up his estate so that his daughter, Zainub, wouldn’t have to, he wasn’t counting on being asked to marry her too!
Zainub Habib dropped out of medical school to become her father’s primary caregiver when he became terminally ill. Tending faithfully to her father’s daily needs, the last thing she expected when Ahmed Mia appeared on their doorstep one fine morning was that he was about to become her husband overnight.
Life becomes complicated when Ahmed realises that the union compromised his lifestyle and preconceived philosophies. Living with a simple, unpretentious, Niqabi whose charming simplicity and mesmerizing beauty intrigued him was enough to scare him away from the temptation of ever loving her fully.
In her quest to be a loving wife, Zainub must wait to find out whether the roses she thinks she sees in Ahmed will blossom from the water she pours on his thorns…
After a painful divorce and a shattered heart, Inara Habib retreats to the quiet shores of Turkiye to rebuild her life. Surrounded by a found family and immersed in quiet routines, she isn’t looking for love – but it arrives anyway, in the form of Kareem Al Ajmal.

Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (the Truthful) ranks among the most important and influential figures in Islamic history. Throughout his life he provided an exemplary example to all those around him. This book brings to life the remarkable character of Abu Bakr from his birth onwards through the early years of Islam.
The second caliph of the Muslims and a close Companion of the noble Prophet, Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, strengthened Islam through his courage and actions. This book tells the story of Umar for young readers presenting his key achievements and milestones in his life. Umar ibn al-Khattab wandered the streets at night to find people in need, he personally helped the poor and weak and was never tempted by the luxuries or wealth a leader could be expected to enjoy. The leader of the world’s largest empire, he rejected all forms of ostentation, living in a small hut and eating mainly bread and olive oil. His selflessness and modesty inspired many people to accept Islam. After the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, he was the greatest example for believers to follow
This book brings to life the great caliph Uthman, the embodiment of the tenets of Islam and an inspiration and example for all Muslims today. He was described by the beloved Prophet as the most generous, the most magnanimous, and the most modest of his Companions. He resisted torture and pressure from his family to become one of the first people to embrace Islam. He was one of the staunchest supporters of the noble Prophet. Uthman ibn Affan was one of the Four Rightly Guided Caliphs of the Muslim state. He devoted his life to Islam and embodied the virtues of the true religion. Uthman was always the first to respond to the call for help. A wealthy merchant, he constantly donated his wealth, enlarging the Medina mosque, buying a well for the people, feeding and equipping the army and helping the poor and needy. Despite his great riches, Uthman lived a simple life. His only aim was to achieve the pleasure of Allah and His Prophet. As a reward for his many good deeds, he was one of the few people to receive the promise of Paradise whilst he was still alive.
Ali ibn Abi Talib was the first child to accept Islam, and the third Muslim after Khadija and Abu Bakr. He lived with the Prophet from a young age, marrying his daughter Fatima, with whom he had two sons. Ali became the fourth caliph and performed his duties honorably, always putting the needs of the Muslim community before his own.
The legacy of the greatest teacher the world has known, the greatest man to ever walk the Earth, the Messenger of Allah, is attested to by the greatness of his students: the Ṣaḥābah. None more so than his four successors, the four men famed as the Rightly Guided Caliphs. The Blessed Prophet’s words and deeds have reached us from across the centuries and still inspire billions. It was these men who were charged with carrying those teachings to others, and within one short century spread them across the breadth of the world.
This book collects the teachings of these great men; their words and their actions; how they lived and how they died. Each of them was a giant upon whose shoulders the great scholars and sages; the orators and leaders; the warriors and heroes; the ascetics and mystics in every age of this Ummah have built their places in the halls of history. Each of them was shaped for greatness by the blessed hands of the Beloved in a singular and unique manner. Together, they built a community, an empire, and a legacy that shall inspire this Ummah until the end of time.
One should never underestimate the power of du’a as it can change your destiny. The Prophet Muhammad used to make certain du’as in certain situations, but what if one feels that they are not worthy of calling upon Allah or just simply don’t know how. When you look through the guidance of the Prophet Muhammad, you don’t just find the words that match your situation, you also find a beautiful approach to your Lord as a whole. When you understand your Creator better and learn how to call upon Him like the prophet Muhammad did, you will also understand the world around you better and become more focussed. This short book includes 26 wonderful du’as (supplications) in Arabic with English translation and related commentary, as taught to us by our beloved Prophet Muhammad.

LáYínká, if you died today, what would your children have to say about you?’
This was the question LáYínká Sánní asked herself when she hit rock bottom years ago. It was this question — and the uncomfortable answer that followed it — that inspired her to embark on a deeply personal journey of self discovery, learning and, ultimately, homecoming.

Drawing on her work as a transformation coach, her own personal experiences and her faith, LáYínká Sánní offers a powerful love letter from one striving woman to another, an invitation to step into a new internal reality, and a practical guide to transforming how you view both the world and yourself — forever.

From the same people who brought you From the river to the sea – A Colouring book, this latest title is an educational colouring book that provides a gateway into the revolutionary leader’s little known visit to Gaza in 1964. In a series of stunning illustrations, Soweto-based Nathi Ngubane traces Malcolm’s travels across Africa and the Middle East, as well as his historic two-day visit in Gaza, during which he visited refugee camps, toured the mosques and the markets, and listened to the stories of Palestinians who had been displaced by the Nakba.
Malcolm X was transformed by these trips, which helped develop his understanding of the necessity of international unity. A year later said: “…the same desire for freedom that moved the Black man on the African continent began to burn in the heart and the mind and the soul of the Black man here, in South America, Central America, and North America, showing us we were not separated. Though there was an ocean between us, we were still moved by the same heartbeat.”
Tradesmen look at buildings differently, depending on their trade: The carpenter casts an eye on the woodwork, the bricklayer on the brickwork and the painter on the walls and ceilings. Similarly, the greater a person’s perception of Allah’s names, the greater their alertness and understanding of life. Nothing passes them by, without thought and contemplation. When they see a display of mercy, they automatically and very naturally reflect on the names of Allah; Al-Rahim” (The Most Merciful), Al-Ra’uf (The Pitying), Al-Wadud (The Affectionate). When they sense might and awe, they are overcome with the names “Al-Jabbar” (The Compeller), “Al-Muntaqim” (The Avenger) and “Al-Qahhar” (The Subduer). Eventually, they reach a station where every scene that unfolds, any sin which presents itself or any opportunity that drifts by, becomes a trigger for perusal and the remembrance of Allah, the achievement of which is precisely the objective of this book.
