As pillars of society, women must keep themselves replenished emotionally and spiritually to reach their highest potential. Give them the tools to do so.


Help bring support and tranquility into the lives of your everyday average hardworking woman and her home by helping publish this spiritual creative self-care journal for Muslim women. 

‘Abdullah b. Amr reported Allah’s Messenger (saw) as saying:
“The whole world is a provision, and the best object of benefit of the world is the pious woman.”
[Sahih Muslim Book 008, Hadith Number 3465]
Women, universally, play a pivotal role in society. They travel through this
life bringing strength, comfort, and support to those around them and
help to establish the foundations for a better world. However, with such
 a status comes great responsibility. There will come times when due to
this immense responsibility on her shoulders a woman will begin to bend
and slow down. It is times like these when she becomes emotionally and
spiritually exhausted and her productivity and well-being begin to suffer, and this in turn also affects other areas and people in her life. 

Gathering Petals is a journal that acknowledges these guaranteed moments in a woman's life and seeks to help her find herself again, for herself and for those around her. This journal is meant for any and every woman at any stage from teenagers to grandmothers. The more than 75 journal prompts progress from self-reflection and acceptance of oneself and one's circumstances, to exploration of one's interests, to, finally, motivation to pursue one's goals- all the while connecting her, and maintaining that connection, to her spirituality and relationship with the Creator- the ultimate source  of peace, tranquility, and motivation. 

How You Can Help

Currently,  this journal is available as a printable ebook. The purpose of this
campaign is to raise enough funds to print this journal as a quality
spiral-bound paperback book and to effectively market and bring this
journal into the hands of women worldwide. Along with being available
for purchase, copies of the journal will also be donated to women's
shelters and support groups.

The funds collected will go towards the following: 

- Final proofreading/formatting of the manuscript
- Printing
- Order fulfillment
- Promotion/Marketing
- Mass Distribution Efforts
