Translate the Legacy of Muslim Women Scholars into English

For centuries, Muslim women taught in masajid, authored books, issued legal opinions, transmitted hadith, nurtured scholars, and shaped the intellectual life of the Muslim world.

Their words still exist today. They fill shelves in libraries, rest in manuscripts preserved across generations, and live within treasured Arabic texts studied by a select few. Yet for millions of English-speaking Muslims, these voices remain out of reach.

Without translation, an entire legacy remains locked away. Rabata is committed to changing that.

Through Daybreak Press, Rabata is translating, preserving, and publishing the scholarship of Muslim women so their knowledge can once again teach, inspire, and transform lives in homes, classrooms, masajid, universities, and communities across the English-speaking world.

The Impact of Translation

“Stars in the Prophet's ﷺ Orbit is and always will be one of my favorite books to date. I took the course in 2020 and have referred to it at least once a week since. The stories have become lessons I instill in my daughters. So many times I find myself quoting or rereading stories out loud to them. It has become my companion as I navigate life. This book being translated changed the trajectory of my growth.” 

Why This Matters

Today, we find that Muslim women's scholarly works are significantly under-translated. Entire generations grow up unaware that Muslim women taught men and women, authored texts, and shaped legal, spiritual, and intellectual traditions.

When we translate, we restore a fuller and more accurate narrative.

What Your Support Makes Possible

“Fiqh al-Ibadat has been such a saving grace for me. English is my native language, and my Arabic is not yet at the level to understand jurisprudence. The English translation has allowed me access to the most fundamental aspects of my religion. Without it, I would be lost. Now I am able to practice my religion with confidence.” 

“The way this book clearly explains everything is phenomenal. I can’t imagine trying to learn all of these things without it.” 

Knowledge That Shapes Practice

“I bought the Shafi'i fiqh book even though I have been a lifelong Hanafi. I wanted a clear resource so I know exactly what I am supposed to do. SubhanAllah, I love how concise it is, yet everything is covered. I know my worship will be safeguarded, inshaAllah.” 

Even the Way We Recite Changes

“The translation Excellence in the Science of Tajwid goes deeper with clear examples and explanations. After many years, it closed the gap in my understanding and helped correct my mistakes.” 

“I struggle with tajwid, and this book has been a great aid. I often return to it as I work to improve. The way it is structured makes it easy to study and use as a reference.”
