This campaign will collect all funds raised by September 12, 2015 at 3:45 AM EDT

This Ramadan help us support the orphans of Palestine, Syria, Yemen, and Iraq by feeding your soul and spirit with A Cup of Mint Tea stories!


Through our previous campaigns for A Cup of Mint Tea books we have raised over $100,000 by selling over 14,000 books!  Help us keep this trend going by donating today and receiving the collection of stories that will serve you and others.  Sponsor orphans across the Middle East by feeding your soul and spirit with A Cup of Mint Tea. 100% of book proceeds will be donated this Ramadan to orphans through Islamic Relief.  Books are available in both English and Arabic.

Why it Matters 

Many of us are overwhelmed by the devastating need for humanitarian aid across the Middle East.  Children throughout the region have lost their parents and are left without proper means.  Let’s do our part and support in whatever way we can!  By purchasing A Cup of Mint Tea you help provide these children with food, clothing, healthcare, and an education. 

About the Series


A Cup of Mint Tea is a collection of short stories to rekindle your spirit, warm your heart, and nurture your soul. Perhaps it's best read while relaxing on the couch with a cup of tea in hand. Beyond the captivating stories, the associated thought-provoking lessons provide unique analyses that are sure to prompt mindful contemplation.

In this series, you will find factual stories from time periods ancient to present, yet all encompass timeless lessons for an ageless readership. They are inspirational stories with lessons to reflect upon throughout the day, and are sure to become a refreshing cup of inspirations, a sip of motivation, and a whole pot of reflection.

How To Support

  • Donate to feed your mind and spirit while feeding orphans. After the campaign, Zayd publications will follow up on all orders.
  • Share this campaign and the reward with friends and family.
  • Stay in touch by following us on the Facebook page here.

Have a Sip!


About the Author

Iman Abdallah Al-Qaisi (Iman Jasim) was born on February 22, 1961 in Baghdad, Iraq.  She was raised in a practicing Muslim family, but was different from her other siblings. She loved Islam. She loved everything about it. She did not like to spend any time away from the Mosque or religious study circles. She worked very hard to gain as much knowledge about Islam as she could and was eager to apply what she learned.

She got married in 1978 and moved to America in 1980. While in the states, she continues to gain knowledge and learn more about Islam. Once she felt she had gained knowledge that could be of benefit to others, she began study circles of her own to share what she had learned.

She became an inspiration and leader to hundreds of her students. Throughout her work, she has maintained one goal in mind: to plant as many seeds as possible so that the sprouts may grow and continue to bloom for many years to come. With this goal in mind, she decided to become an author of her first book series, A Cup of Mint Tea.

Iman is a mother of six, a devoted teacher with 26 years of experience, and an alumni from the Islamic University of America.
