'Sister Islaah' has served her community by teaching Islaamic Studies, by working on philanthropic projects, and by contributing to educational programs on the elementary to graduate school levels. Currently, she provides free or low-cost educational support to parents, home-schoolers, non-profits, or small private schools. Her commitment to social change, and her desire to chronicle the experiences of blacks and Muslims living in inner city America is reflected in her writings. This is her first published book of poems. She is also the author of The Book of Islaamic Lists (Ruya Press).…
