Ramadan Book club
We're back for the third year!
About our Bookclub
​
Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wa barakatu. Over the past two Ramadans we (Ikran & Istahil), co-hosts of the Abwaan Chronicles Podcast have hosted a book club on zoom with the aim of providing the space and opportunity to read and reflect on some incredible books. Alhamdulilah, we've read "The Sealed Nectar by Safi-ur-Rahman al-Mubarkpuria" and "Lives of the Prophets” by Ibn Katheer". The conversations and discussions we've had have been so insightful, which is why we love hosting it and can't wait to run it back this year in sha Allah. We recorded an episode featuring clips from some of our attendees on their reflections on our last book (Lives of the Prophets), it will give you a glimpse into our book club.

Book club choice​
This book is about the life stories of the Mothers of the Believers and 16 other Sahabyat who had been given the good news of the paradise in this world by Prophet Muhammad (S). There are good examples in the lifestyle of the Mothers of the believers and women Companions especially for the Muslim women. It is necessary for all of us to study the Seerah of these noble and fortunate women.
