Help bring Syeda Fatima’s story to life


She was the eminent lady Fāṭima al-Zahrāʾ, the blessed pure part of the Prophet ﷺ, the faithful daughter, the steadfast striver. She was Fāṭima al-Batūl. When we examine her lineage, the vital question presents itself: Whose daughter was she? Whose wife? Whose mother? Who could lay claim to any lineage as noble and pure as hers, she whose father was the Prophet ﷺ and whose mother was the great Khadīja رضي الله عنها? She was Fāṭima al-Zahrāʾ, a scion of eminent ancestors of the fragrant and noble Prophetic pedigree. Everything about her resembled the Messenger of God ﷺ, and of all people she was the dearest to his heart, though he loved them all.

As beautiful as the story is, our goal is to produce a ground breaking biography on the life of Syed Fatima. We aspire to design the book's pages and layout in a traditional, classic style that can do justice to the entire narrative. By creating something extraordinary, we aim to make a difference in the Muslim world. We urge you to join us in making this project a reality and be a part of its success.

Who is Ihya Publishing?


Ihya is a non-profit independent publishing house that specializes in publishing traditional Islamic texts that resonate with the heart, mind, and soul of Muslims. We achieve this by publishing texts from our rich tradition and by supporting writers in creating new books and texts that address the needs of Muslims in the English language.

In today's world, many Muslims are in dire need of literature that speaks to their lived reality. At Ihya, our goal is to bring the tradition to life and meet this need. Our name, derived from the Arabic word for "life," reflects our mission to give life to the tradition in a world that needs it.

Our Lady Fāṭima al-Zahrā: Her Life in the Context of the Blessed Sira


This book is about our lady Fāṭima, through whom the blessed lineage of the Messenger of God ﷺ was preserved; this amazing woman whose life story must be considered as a fundamental part of the life story of the Prophet ﷺ and the story of Islam itself. She stood with the Messenger of God ﷺ and struggled alongside him. Throughout the persecution she endured, she always strove to serve and aid her father and to take care of him after the death of her mother, may God be pleased with them all.

We dedicate this book to our young readers and ask God to make it a cause of benefit and a means of telling the story of this noble woman in a manner that is easy to understand so that our children may become connected to it and thereby learn a fundamental part of the luminous history of Fāṭima, her mother, her father, and her children—a pure and noble line, Descendants one from another (Qur’ān 3:34).

Who is behind the project?

This English translation of Dr. Muhammad Abdu Yamani's Innaha Fatima al-Zahra is a unique book that presents the life of Syeda Fatima al-Zahra alongside the seerah of our beloved Prophet ﷺ.

Book is translated by Khalid Williams, who has done an outstanding job of rendering the work into English.

It's here ?Our Lady Fatima Al-Zahra Biography?

It's Finally 🌷 Here 🌷

Assalaamu Alaykum wrb,

Jazak Allah Khair for helping make the first English biography of Our Lady Fatima Al-Zahra ﵂ a reality. Without your support on LaunchGood, we wouldn't have been able to bring this enriching account of the Prophet's daughter to an English audience.

As we prepare to ship out your pre-orders (on May 6th, InshAllah), we just wanted to share with you a preview of the stunningly beautiful and important work that you'll be the first to receive.

Prepare to be 🌷 Inspired 🌷

"Fāṭima ﵂ had been present in the midst of the battle between faith and unbelief, truth and falsehood, since her childhood. This was what made her incline more toward a life of solemnity and struggle than to a life of fun and frivolity. She had always lived a serious life. Mostly she was concerned for her father, whether he was near or far. She would often follow him on his expeditions, and sometimes circumstances allowed her to accompany him even to the battlefield. "

Final Request? Bismillah.

Bismillah.


Dear Esteemed Supporters,


As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullah!


We tried to send this update via email last week, but the system didn't send it. So we're trying again. :)


We're hoping this will be our final request to support this project.


Why? ... Because we're sooooo close! :)


Your support has been absolutely awe-inspiring and incredible.


May Allah reward you all, massively!


But we're not there yet...


What an honor it has been to be a part of this amazing project. All of us (including you!), have put into motion – by the grace and mercy of Allah – a true Ṣadaqah Jāriyah (never-ending charity).


Just imagine... 


If a single person reads this book, is inspired by it, and changes their life, everything they do because of that inspiration will be recorded in the book of your good deeds.


That's mind-blowingly beautiful! How generous is Allah!


As we pen down this update, we're only about $3,700 short of our ultimate stretch goal.


Help us to make this book available (for free!) to 1,000 prison inmates. It will be life-changing and a blessing for them, and it would be because of you!


What can you do?


There are two ways to help:


1.) Redouble Your Support: If you feel called to, kindly consider contributing again to this noble cause. No amount is too small; every penny pushes us closer to our goal. But if you can contribute $100, $200, or more, it would be greatly appreciated! May Allah reward you.


2.) Increase the Impact: Let's make this a collective endeavor. We sincerely request you to reach out to 2 friends or family members who might resonate with this project. Your personal endorsement can inspire others to join this historic initiative.


Here's the link to the project (please share this on social as well):

Let's seize this moment, reaffirm our commitment, and together, bring the incredible story of Sayyida Faṭima al-Zahrāʾ (may Allah be pleased with her) to the world!


In gratitude and anticipation,

The Ihya Publishing Team

It is with immense joy that we share our journey's progress with you.

Where We Stand Today:


With your gracious support, we've been able to make significant strides in bringing this paramount biography closer to the bookshelves and hearts of readers globally.


Our journey began with a vision, and today, thanks to you, we are steps away from its realization.

As we pen down this update, we are just $28,000 short of our ultimate stretch goal.


The finishing touches, the intricate design work, and the final production stages await, and your continued support can be the wind beneath our wings to carry this project to its zenith.


A Call to Action:


  1. 1.) Redouble Your Support:

  2. If you feel called to, kindly consider contributing again to this noble cause. No amount is too small; every penny pushes us closer to our goal. But if you can do $100 or more, it would be greatly appreciated!

  3. 2.) Double the Impact:

  4. Let's make this a collective endeavor. We sincerely request you to reach out to 2 friends or family members who resonate with our mission. Your personal endorsement can inspire others to join this historic initiative.

Here's the link to the Campaign:


Our aim is not just to publish a book, but to weave a legacy that stands as a beacon of inspiration for generations to come.


As we inch closer to our goal, the spirit of community and the power of collective effort become ever more apparent. Let's seize this moment, reaffirm our commitment, and together, bring the incredible story of Sayyida Fatima al-Zahrāʾ to the world.


In gratitude and anticipation,

Audio Book and Free books to Prisons

Assalaamu Alaykum wrb Dear Donors,


We are so grateful for your generous contributions to our campaign to publish the biography of Syeda Fatima (ra). Your support has been instrumental in helping us reach our goals, and we are so excited to announce that we have unlocked our first stretch goal of producing custom and unique Hilye of Syeda Fatima.


This means that we will be able to produce a high-quality, beautifully illustrated version of Hilye of Syeda Fatima. We are so grateful to all of you who helped us make this happen.


We are now $7,360 away from our second stretch goal of producing an audiobook of the Our Lady Fatima book. If we reach this goal, we will be able to make this text accessible to even more people. We hope that you will consider making a gift to help us reach this goal.


Finally, we are asking for your help in spreading the word about our campaign. We are $32,360 away from our final stretch goal of sharing 1,000 copies of the book for free to Prisons, we have partnered with Tayba Foundation for this effort. If we can reach this goal, we will be able to share this important text with people who might not otherwise have the opportunity to read it.


Thank you again for your support. We couldn't do this without you.


JazakAllah Khair and Dua’s during the last few days of Ramadan.
