Welcome to Illuminate Muslim Minds, where each book opens a world of discovery and joyful adventure! Our story began with a vision from Eanara, a passionate advocate with a master’s degree in social work, who has made significant impacts as a therapist and community organizer. Alongside her every step was Khader, her husband, whose unwavering support was instrumental in turning this dream into a reality. As parents, Khader and Eanara encountered the challenge of finding engaging and appropriate Islamic, Arabic, and English books for young Muslim readers. This led to the start of Illuminate Muslim Minds, a haven where children aged 0-11 can find stories that resonate with them and foster a love for reading.

Driven by a mission to blend fun with Islamic learning, Illuminate Muslim Minds offers a monthly book subscription, individual book purchases, and lively book fairs, all aimed at boosting reading literacy and enriching Islamic knowledge among young minds. Eanara's vision is not just to distribute books but to ignite a love of Islam and reading. Join us on this delightful journey to make Islamic reading a cherished part of every child's life!
