*UPDATE! 

We have reached our goal of $3,000 Alhumdulillah! Jazkallah Khair for all your support! We have now switched to partial funding so that everyone can keep pre-ordering the book till the campiagn lasts! Please spread the word to your circle of family and friends to buy their copy for the little Muslim in their lives! :) 


The Perfect Start...

  • Expecting a baby soon? We have the perfect deeni educational beginning!
  • Want a book to read to your precious new grandbaby? We have just the one!
  • Going to your best friend's baby shower? Here's the ideal gift!
  • Looking to invest in charitable work that keeps increasing in reward? Here it is!

Introducing: It's Jummah! (Learn the Sunnahs and Etiquettes of Friday prayer). The first of many upcoming Islamic baby board books for babies ages 0-2. 


Not enough Islamic baby board books!

Our daughters' passion for reading made us realize there are NOT ENOUGH Islamic baby board books for their age for teaching and learning Islam. This thought led us to the creation of series of Islamic baby board books catering to their young minds to strengthen the bond with Allah and religion and learn about the world side-by-side.

Jummah is all about the Friday routine!

Babies do very well with routines. While routines like bath time and meal time are crucial to healthy living, for us Muslims, so are the fardh and the sunnahs which complete the code of our Islamic lives. 

Why wait? Start Early!

Teach your child the Jummah routine, engrave it in their hearts. There's no doubt babies can learn and absorb anything at this age. Our daughters inspired us to create literature that promotes Islam first and foremost and other education as a bonus.


What is so unique in these books?

They are

  • For babies (ages 0-2) 
  • Simple (less is more and less distracting for the young ones!)
  • Colourful ( makes it attractive and engaging)
  • Educational (learn Islam, learn routines, learn about the world) 
  • Good resource to simple Islamic principles (foundation is everything!)


What we will do with the funds?

  • Print "It's Jummah!" baby board books by Summer 2017
  • Ship it globally 
  • Market and advertise by attending and selling at Muslim events and exhibits
  • Use the profit to print the next books

Our timeline:


Benefits for you...

  • Gift it = rewarding now and for later :)
  • Read it out = teaching Islam is Sunnah
  • Buy it = good foundation for your baby's education 
  • Support it = Sadaqah Jaria. You are set for the next world too :)

Also enjoy the perks made by our amazing artist Zainab! The bookmarks, inspirational cards, digital calendars, and magnets are beautiful keepsakes and gifts.

Meet the team!

The authors (Lyazzat and Najia):

We are two friends enjoying motherhood to the fullest with our kids and using them to guide and inspire us to do good in this world. They end up teaching us what we can teach them, it's an amazing journey full of miraculous events, Alhamdulillah.

The illustrator (Zainab)

One art piece at a time, Zainab is out to show the world the great Islamic art, beautiful calligraphy and the amazing creations of Allah with digitalized goodness. 

Visit her page at Etsy to find your favourite artwork which is made to inspire to educate, and to brighten up any place in the world!

There is more coming soon...

This book is the Bismillah to our 3 series, and 9 baby board books. While this deals with just the Sunnahs and a good Muslim Jummah routine, the upcoming ones have Islamic knowledge and pre-Montessori education (like shapes, colours, fruits and vegetables, etc.), so babies can learn them both at the same time. 

Also we aim to translate these books in the future and have them in multiple languages! My friend and I, Pakistani and Kazakh, have a strong desire to keep our mother tongues alive. InshaAllah, we plan to translate them to Urdu, Kazakh, Russian, Arabic, Bengali, and other languages.

"It's Jummah!" Baby Board Books Update

Salamun aleykum our dear supporters!


We would like to give you a small update on the progress of the books you have supported:

1. All the ZainabMade calendars, cards, magnets, and bookmarks are printed and ready to be shipped out.
2. All the envelopes with proper addresses are also ready and waiting to reach their owners.

AND the books, the most important...

3. Unfortunately, we had a very bad experience with our printing facility in Lahore, Pakistan. The books that we have received from them did not meet our quality standards and we want the best quality for the kids. Therefore, we are currently negotiating with another printing facility to re-print our books. We are doing our best to deliver your orders in the near future. However, due to these circumstances the books will be delayed. We are hoping to get them shipped by the end of September, inshaAllah. 

Our sincere apologies for this delay, and please pray for Allah to help us on this adventure. 

JazakaAllahu Khair for your patience and understanding!

P.S. If you have more questions on this matter, please do not hesitate to email us at 2curioushearts@gmail.com
