Women who have memorized the Quran are many, but their voices and stories have been overlooked for far too long. The Crowning Venture is here to let them shine!


You Did It!




Daybreak Press is here to introduce you to a book that will prepare your heart for an unimaginable journey - memorizing the Quran. 


Let us introduce you to our upcoming publication: The Crowning Venture. We are scheduled to release the book this year, but we want YOU to be a part of the publishing journey, empowering believers all over the world to memorize the Quran! 


In other words, the perfect sadaqa jaariyah! A once in a lifetime opportunity to spread the love of the Quran all over the globe through creative literature!


Have you ever thought about memorizing the Quran? Do you worry that it's too difficult a goal, too out-of-reach, and just too impractical for an everyday Muslim like you? Think again, and help us show the world that it's not just a faraway dream, but an achievable ambition...

And We have certainly made the Quran easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember? [54:17]






About the Author


The Crowning Venture is a book written by Ḥāfiẓa Dr. Saadia Mian, who memorized the Quran in her 20's. 


"Although my journey with the Quran started when I was 6 years old, it wasn't until much later that I embarked on a deeper journey. At the age of 23 I traveled to Damascus, Syria where I would end up getting my Ijaza in tajwid and go on to eventually memorize the Quran. For me, this was not something that was in my life plan. All I knew was that I was in search of a closer relationship to my Creator, and this is where that search led me. 


For many years I didn't talk about it much. I didn't like people knowing that I had memorized the Quran. It was something so personal, and something that has so many preconceived notions attached to it. But in the back of my mind, I did imagine that someday I might share my experience. 


After writing my own story, I realized that many people would not be able to relate to it, as it was too different from their lives. That prompted me to find other women who had also memorized the Quran. Although their journeys were each unique, I found similar sentiments echoed throughout their interviews. They had never really shared their journeys before for various reasons, but were happy to have a chance to share them now."



Their challenges, feelings, compromises and accomplishments are all embedded in this beautiful work. Reading these stories will ignite a desire in the hearts of people all over the world to begin their own journey with the holy Quran.

Book Excerpts:




“When the part of the Quran you’re working on is passing through your heart over and over, it is like you’re washing your heart with it. You get to know it really well. It is not an empty, cold, soulless relationship to memorize it, it is really a deeper way of relating to it than just reading." 
- Anne

"It made me more humble. It made me more forgiving. It made me more tolerant. It made me kinder. It made me more patient. It made me more loving. It completely changed me from what I was before. It's like 180 degrees because, mind you, I was 28 years old when I accepted Islam. I had lived a lifetime before then."

- Charlotte

Memorizing the Quran can be a reality for you, your children and all believers. The Crowning Venture holds magnificent insight from real women who have walked the path. Their stories will light the way...
