Reviews - what our Readers have to say about our books.
Through the Sweet & Salty Seas
"This book is a fresh and modern take on how daughters-in-law can navigate through unknown waters of inlaw relationships, once married. It is a wonderful resource that gives actionable steps on how a Muslim daughter-in-law can develop a respectful and meaningful connection with her mother-in-law. The book is a much-needed perspective after the success of Umm Mohammad’s previous book which explored the same bond through the lens of a mother-in-law. I personally loved that each chapter starts off with a hadith and there are several solutions presented keeping in mind Allah’s word and the Prophet’s ﷺ guidance."
Through the Sweet & Salty Seas
Through the Sweet & Salty Seas
"Alhamdulillah, beautifully written. I loved the way prophet Yusuf's story blends well with the flow.
Everything here is a piece of naseeha to the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law. This book will be a good companion for a newly married or mother-in-law. This book is full of reminders. Alhamdulillah."

When the Two Seas Meet
"When The Two Seas Meet" by Umm Muhammad is one of its kind. The book is about "building bonds and excelling in the role of Mother in law". I personally have never heard of a book tackling this topic before and I believe our society is in dire need of such publications.There's straightforward but delicately delivered advice; there are beautiful reminders; there are relevant ayahs and ahadith..."
When the Two Seas Meet
"I haven’t come across any book explicitly addressing relationship advice to mothers-in-law from an Islamic perspective. That’s why this book is a gem of a find. Full of beautiful reminders, reframe the delicate relationship between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in terms of taqwa, tawakkul, Husn dhann, ihsaan. It is a short read, peppered with straightforward advice tied in with relevant ayahs and ahadith"
When the Two Seas Meet
"Though written from a mother- in-law's perspective, it is equally beneficial for a daughter-in-law as well, as every member of a household be it a father, son, daughter, etc.
What’s even more interesting is that the tips and techniques shared in this book are applicable to anyone going through issues in relationships or trials in life, teaching how to deal with them, and develop into a well balanced human being."
Shaytan and the Nafs
"I have no words MashaAllah. It helped me a lot to rethink my life and with the will of Allah, InShaAllah I am trying my best to regulate my life. I got a lot of insights, especially where you had nailed it by plotting out the difference between Shaytan and Nafs is interesting!
When your book causes impact in the lives of the readers, that is when it is considered a huge success. And the verses you had quoted along with the explanation gives a different perspective."
Shaytan and the Nafs
"Shaytan or the Nafs, is a new-age guide that is filled with information and training (based on the Quran and Sunnah) needed for the individual mind and body in order to function in complex situations, assert the practice of reciting regular du’as, and become a powerful shield against the enemy."
Shaytan and the Nafs
"I absolutely love the cover design — and the content matches it. The information is succinct and easy to follow, and I love the gentle way you speak, with practical tips backed up by the Qur’an and Sunnah. I benefited right away, alhamdulillah."
Shaytan and the Nafs
"The narrative is empowering yet extremely interesting and is interposed with emotional, heartfelt quotes. What I really love is that the author has pointed out the problem and offered appropriate solutions to each through Quranic verses and authentic ahadith. It is undoubtedly a must-read for all."
