SALAAM, WITH LOVE x CANDY JAR Ramadan is the month of peace, except this year Yumna is forced to plan an iftar with her longtime rival and his presence makes peace hard to come by. Can she survive him or will he ruin her Ramadan just as he ruined her future? #MuslimPit #NA #R

Can 2 GCC-raised MCs of Nigerian origins now living in the west find belonging in each other, despite family dramas & complex visa realities? No?! What if they end up on the same property during the Covid travel ban, in the Nigeria neither knows well…? #MuslimPit #YA #Romance

Hello #writingcommunity! My apologies, but my life got very busy and I had to take a break from querying so I was not able to host the first @MuslimPit event just yet. But I would like to host it on Saturday, May 9th! More info will be coming soon!

A town with missing memories. A snowstorm that never happened. A dark figure playing a fatal game behind the scenes. And a dead girl walking with the answers. The only problem? She doesn't remember them & she has 30 days to figure it out before she dies again.#QuestPit #YA #SPEC

As the host of #MuslimPit, here is a little bio: my name is Ayishah, and I recently completed my degree in English Lit. with a concentration in Creative Writing. Though I love British classics, fairy tales, and folklore, my favourite stories ever are the Thousand and One Nights.

For my Honours thesis, I wanted to centre Muslim voices. This is why I composed a creative project about Fatima Al-Fihri, the woman who opened the first university in the world in 9th-century Fez, Morocco. As somebody who loves academics, she is a huge inspiration to me.

I have been blessed enough to attend writing conferences such as Muslim Literary Festival where I met amazing Muslim authors such as Uzma Jalaluddin. Since my particular interests are in Islamic history and folklore, I especially love to read and write historical fantasy stories!
