Our story

Assalamu alaikum.

I'm Mariame, the founder of Jewels of Muslim.

This started with something deeply personal. Like a lot of us, my relationship with the Qur'an was a series of Ramadans — full of intention in the first week, gone by the fourth. Then nothing until the next year.

Then one night, I picked up a pen.

I knew I wasn't alone in that. I also knew I didn't want to keep living that way. One night I was tracing an ayah by hand. I don't even remember why. But something happened that hadn't happened in years of trying to read consistently — I slowed down. I was present with the words. I wasn't reading at the verses; I was sitting with them, letter by letter.

And it made me wonder how many other people were stuck where I had been, looking for a way back in that didn't feel like failure.

That's why these books exist.

The hand teaches something the eyes alone cannot.

What we make

Books for people who keep meaning to.

Our tracing books are for people who want a daily Qur'an practice but find reading too heavy on their own. No fluency required. No memorization expected. Just a pen, a page, and five minutes a day.

Every book is designed carefully — paper that takes ink cleanly, font sizing that's easy on the eyes, Arabic that's faint enough to trace and dark enough to read. We want the only thing you have to focus on to be the words.
