"Letters to Imam Mahdi" is a heartfelt poem that follows the journey of a young boy as he writes a letter to Imam Mahdi (aj), expressing his gratitude, hopes, and prayers. Through his innocent yet profound words, the boy reflects on the beauty of creation, the strength of the Imam's ancestors, and the trials of awaiting the Imam’s arrival. He shares his personal struggles, and offers prayers for oppressed people around the world.
The boy honors the Imam’s birthday by preparing to release the letter into the water at dawn on the 15th of Shabaan, symbolizing hope and connection. Throughout the poem, themes of faith, justice, and the transformative power of waiting (Intizar) unfold, offering readers an intimate glimpse into the relationship between a young believer and the Imam.

Grief after loss is one of the hardest emotions to work through. Our Prophets and Imams themselves went through periods of extreme grief. We are no different. We require patience and prayer to get through this, just as our role models did. Inna Lillahi: A Guided Bereavement Journal Through Grief and Back to Allah (swt) is a guided writing journal created to carry you through heartbreak and toward healing.
Rooted in Qur’anic reflection, du’a, teachings of the Holy Prophet (s) and the Ahlul Bayt (a), before every prompt, this journal helps you navigate grief as a space to return — to your faith, to remembrance, and to Allah (swt).
With 40+ prompts that invite honesty, forgiveness, and spiritual reflection, you will explore:
How grief reshapes your relationship with time, prayer, and actions
What it means to return the body to the earth and the soul to its Creator
How to find gratitude in memory and connection in loss
Reconciling your pain with that of the Prophets (a) and their families
Ways to invite help — spiritual and community based — into your healing
Whether you are mourning a loved one or supporting someone who is, this journal offers a compassionate companion — a place to write, weep, and remember under the light of Allah’s mercy.

Set during Shahr Ramaḍān, this story follows Hayaa, a young Muslim girl who loves the Qurʾān and is eager to deepen her understanding of its message. As she navigates her daily life—attending Sunday school, participating in acts of charity, and preparing for the powerful Nights of Qadr—Hayaa reflects on the wisdom of the Qurʾān and its guidance for the world.
In her Islamic Studies class, she learns about the significance of Laylat al-Qadr, the night when the Qurʾān was first revealed and when Allah’s decrees descend upon the Imam of our time, Imam al-Mahdī (ʿaj). She also discovers the sorrow of the 19th night of Ramaḍān, when Imām ʿAlī (ʿa) was struck, and how his justice, sacrifice, and devotion to Allah inspire her.
Hayaa struggles with the idea of injustice in the world—reflecting on the suffering of her family in Lebanon, the oppression in Palestine, and children forced into labor and hardship —yet she also recognizes that her own struggles are real, even if different. As she seeks answers, she turns to the Qurʾān, finding lessons of hope, resilience, and trust in Allah’s greater plan.
With a heart full of faith, love, and responsibility, Hayaa spends the Night of Qadr in prayer, asking Allah for guidance, strength, and closeness to Him—and, most of all, to always walk in the footsteps of those who sacrificed for Islam.
This ~6,500 word story, written for readers 7–13, is a heartfelt journey of faith, reflection, and action, encouraging young readers to connect with the Qurʾān and find their role in shaping a better world.

In a cozy home filled with warmth and Islamic art, a family watches their Baba quietly lead the family with love, service, and faith. “My Baba, My Wali-der” is a picture book told from the perspective of a child who admires her father’s everyday acts of compassion, patience, and justice.

A beautiful tribute to good Muslim fathers, (and an inspiration for those who could use it) this book celebrates leadership rooted in mercy and the responsibility of parenthood.
