In the mood for Romance, but make it Halal.

This Hybrid Reads

The Romance market is booming, and there’s space for everyone, as these two short Muslim Romances reveal.

I’m sure I’m not the only one who has noticed the revival of Romance in the last few years. I know Romance books have always been popular, but it feels like they are having a moment and the genre is experiencing a comeback particularly amongst younger and BIPOC readers.

Pride and Prejudice is routinely voted as a Readers Favourite across genres, and at its core it is a romance: two people meet, fall in love, something prevents them from getting together, they overcome the hardship and live happily ever after.

Reading Quran — A Review

A Ducktrinor Mom

Author: Sarah Ahmed

Publisher: Qasim Publications

Summary: Learning to read Qur’an should be easy and accessible to everyone. This book is a step-by-step guide to Qur’anic fluency, beneficial for readers of all ages, while designed to keep young readers engaged. Structured in a way that gradually progresses through Qur’anic arabic, this book builds confidence in literacy skills through plenty of practice, engaging worksheets and interactive QR codes for additional guidance. Learning Qur’an has never been easier!

Price: $15.00

Buy here.

Review: “Reading Quran: A Step-by-Step Guide to Quran’ic Fluency” is a book I received from a teacher at my son’s madrassah alhamdullilah. It’s an alternate book they use. Anyway, the book is easy to follow to help children. It can also help converts who need it, too. It’s very self-explanatory. Check it out online at readingquranbook.com .

Rating: 5/5
