About the Author
I write children’s books about courage, sacred places and defining moments in Islamic history.
I’m serious about the subjects—but I’m not serious all the time.
I’m Asfia Bint Abdullah, an award-winning, three-time Amazon bestselling author of picture books and middle-grade nonfiction. My work explores Islamic heritage and the values that shape us—justice, mercy, courage and resilience — through stories that speak to the heart as well as the mind.
Away from books, I like quiet moments and unexpected humour. I can spend hours researching one historical detail and feel just as content watching trees and birds. Both keep me grounded.
I write for parents seeking meaningful books and for young readers discovering their faith and heritage. If my books help children love Islam, connect with its history, and carry its lessons into their lives, I have done my job.
