Winner of the Unpublished Muslim Writer's Award 2011.
She wrapped her arms around me and said, "Nur! I know. I don't want to go. But all I can do is keep trusting in Allah. Nur, I will always be with you! My love and advice will always be with you to guide you in the right direction." She patted my heart. "They are forever sealed inside this little place."
Writing on the pages of her journal, Nur, a teenage girl in Canada, charts the onset and advance of her mother's cancer. Nur watches her mother's body begin to shrink and her mood begin to darken. And when family and friends begin to encroach, Nur must face the prospect of her mother's looming death.
Nur bears the crushing loss and finds her adolescent life more demanding and complex. But with the legacy of her mother's love, her family's support, and the guidance of her faith, she manages to overcome the searing pain and use her newfound strength to bring joy to the lives of others, showing them that after death wings can expand.

With the Heart in Mind – MA Smith
Title: With the Heart in mind
Binding: Softcover
Pages: 188
Publisher: Qalam Institute
The author suggests that by studying the Emotional Intelligence of the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.), we improve the quality of our relationships with the people around us and we, like the Prophet (s.a.w.), can become catalysts for change around us. Emotional Intelligence within the author's model of intelligence is a tool by which the message of God is transferred to humanity. With the Heart in Mind reminds us that "To be loved by people is half of intelligence."
“To be loved by people is half of intelligence.” The desire to be more like the Prophet Muhammad, means a desire to connect to people in a meaningful way.
We all desire to connect to those around us in a meaningful way. It is our connections with others that shape who we are. A Muslim has a unique advantage, because he/she has a connection with the best of Allah’s creation.
Shaykh Mikaeel Smith’s first book, With the Heart in Mind, asked Muslims to redefine what it means to be more like the Prophet ﷺ . Being more like him means learning how he was able to leave such a profound impact on those he interacted with.
Being like him means having the courage to explore the pain within us so that we can reach our full potential.

The beauty of this book ‘With the Noble Qur’an’ is in the author’s comprehensive compilation of Qur’anic verses, prophetic hadiths, and opinions of the traditional scholars on some of the main discussions surrounding the Qur’an. In ten chapters, he effectively covers the superiority of the Qur’an, the etiquette, rewards, and virtues of listening, reciting, and memorising it, the correct method of recitation, the ruling of using melody and of crying out of the fear of Allah, and the warning against forgetting the Qur’an, along with a satisfying discussion on its seven variant readings.
It is difficult to emphasise how inspirational and valuable this book is for a lover of the Qur’an, a hafiz, and for anyone to whom we may want to explain the greatness of the Qur’an.

"A beginner can bear in mind the meanings of each Arabic word provided right below it. Since many words are repeated in the Quran, the student will find for himself that within a few months of regular study, he is indeed able to understand the Quran through the text itself. It may also be pointed out that a beginner does not have to, in the start itself, be worried about learning extensive grammar or how to speak the Arabic language. In fact, one has to develop vocabulary before learning grammar for the following reasons:
* A child first learns words and then starts linking them together. We speak our mother tongue fluently without ever learning the grammatical rules. That is to say, we learn it by repeatedly listening to the words.
In translating the words, every effort is made to choose the English word from the existing authentic Quran translations. Among others, we have benefited from the translations of Saheeh International, Abdullah Yusuf Ali, Pickthall, Shakir, Muhammad Mohar Ali, Muhammad Asad, Muhammad Taqi- ud-din Al-Hilali and Muhammad Muhsin Khan extensively."
