Mindful Muslim Review

Too often in our post-modern life, the worth of women and mothers is measured in gains made outside of the family. This book reminds us that our worth is measured by how we serve our Lord through serving our families. A young boy narrates this sweet and simple picture book, reminding himself and the reader how much the work of a mother matters. Yes, she cooks and cleans, and runs a neat and tidy household, but the true essence of motherhood and sacrifice is revealed in the small details of her everyday life: she’s there when the boy comes home from school, she serves her family, her neighbors, and her community, and most importantly, she teaches her child how to love and worship Allah ﷻ.
