about the books
A Voice Rooted in Experience and Purpose
You know Zaytoona Nur? She’s one of those writers who doesn’t stick to just one lane. Her books wander through spirituality, poetry, business, faith, and even the messy parts of personal growth. What I like is how real it feels—she writes from experience, not theory. Some pages are gentle and thoughtful; others push you to think harder about your own life. And somewhere in between, you catch yourself seeing things in a new way. It’s less about being “taught” and more like sitting with someone who’s been through it and has stories worth sharing.
The Kingdom of Lies
Enter a magical kingdom where truth is dangerous, courage is rare, and only one girl can challenge the lies.
In a world where secrets rule and magic is feared, fifteen-year-old Twylar Irene stands out—not because of power, but because of who she is. Marked from birth with a mysterious burn and a strand of white hair, Twylar has been cast aside and labelled a witch in a kingdom that punishes difference.
But in the shadows of her pain lies a powerful truth.
The Kingdom of Lies is a gripping middle grade fantasy adventure book woven with themes of identity, bullying, and inner strength. As Twylar uncovers the secrets of her past, she must confront ancient magic, treacherous royals, and the limits of her own courage.
Perfect for fans of magical kingdoms, strong female leads, and teen girl heroine fantasy, this debut novel will transport young readers into a richly imagined world where magical creatures, dark powers, and daring rebellion await.
Whether you’re seeking a children’s fantasy adventure, a tale of witchcraft and bullying, or a powerful story about finding your place in a world that fears difference, The Kingdom of Lies is a must-read.
Poems from the Heart By Zaytoona Nur
At the heart of Zaytoona Nur’s writing is her love for words and the way they can reach people. Poems from the Heart is her personal collection of Muslim poetry, written with honesty and faith. She writes about belief, identity, modesty, gratitude, and her devotion to Allah.
What makes this book stand out is the voice behind it—a Muslim woman speaking openly about her bond with her Creator. The poems are not complicated. They’re simple, but they carry weight. Each one feels like a soft nudge, a reminder of the beauty and strength in Islam.
The topics alternate between thoughts about hijab and modesty, the importance of worship every day, and the instances prompted by the great Muslim figures. The verse of the poems is mild, leading to self-introspection, serenity, and a renewed trust in the mercy of Allah. You do not read them; you hold them.
It can do that whether you want faith-based poetry or you are in need of words that will uplift your spirit and bring you nearer to your faith. It is particularly significant to women who desire poetry that is both heart- and faith-based.
For readers who enjoy books like The Wild Edge of Sorrow or other reflective Islamic poetry, Poems from the Heart is one to keep close. It’s not a book you rush through. It’s one you return to when you need peace or a reminder of Allah’s endless love.

The Fearless Entrepreneur: Transforming Anxiety Into Action By Zaytoona Nur
Starting a business sounds exciting, right? But let’s be real—it can also feel heavy. The pressure. The “what if I fail?” questions. The late-night spiral of doubts. Most people get stuck right there.
That’s what The Fearless Entrepreneur is about. Zaytoona Nur doesn’t pretend she has it all figured out. She shares how her own fear and anxiety didn’t disappear—she just learnt how to use them. Instead of freezing, she turned that nervous energy into bold choices and growth.
This isn’t some dry business manual. Think of it more like a survival guide for your head and heart while you’re building something new. You’ll find real stories, simple tools, and small steps that actually work. You’ll see how the things you’re scared of—failure, doubt, uncertainty—can push you to be sharper, more creative, and surprisingly confident.
If you’re just starting out, dreaming about launching something, or even just looking for courage in everyday life, this book is for you. It’s honest. It’s practical. And it shows you that anxiety doesn’t have to hold you back—it can be the very thing that pushes you forward.
The Relevance of At-Tawbah: Navigating Life’s Trials as a Muslim By Zaytoona Nur
Religion does not always go smoothly. It is easy at times; at other times, it is roadblocks, doubts, or difficult decisions. Zaytoona Nur, in The Relevance of At-Tawbah, gives a profound reflection on the Surah At-Tawbah, the repentance, and inquires into what it is and should really be to Muslims in the present-day world.
The book does not simply discuss repentance in an out-of-control, abstract manner. It explores the themes that feel familiar to the home, like forgiveness, responsibility, and the strength to take a straightforward look at yourself. It teaches the importance of community as well. This is not a road you are supposed to walk alone. Strength of faith comes with having people nearby to remind you what you are and where you are headed.
And then there’s hope. That’s at the heart of it all. However distant one may be, Allah never rejects his mercy. Just being reminded of that is enough to make you start looking at your struggles differently.
In a world where noisy people are everywhere, where they distract and tempt us, The Relevance of At-Tawbah reminds us of the fundamentals: repentance is not only a personal issue but also the manner in which we raise one another as a society. Every reader who is trying to get back to faith, restore their relationship with Allah, or simply have a better sense of purpose is going to find a path in this book.
Illuminated Souls: Finding Allah’s Essence in Creation By Zaytoona Nur
Spirituality isn’t locked up in rituals or rules. It’s in everything—every breath, every tree, every act of kindness. In Illuminated Souls, Zaytoona Nur invites you to notice that. To see Allah’s presence not only in prayer but in the world, moving all around us.
The book is built on reflections, personal stories, and the wisdom of a trusted shaykh. Together, they point to one truth: the Divine shows up everywhere. In the way people care for each other. In the vast, endless sky. In the moments that test your patience or push you to forgive.
It also reminds you that spirituality isn’t just about your own heart. It’s something we share. It opens doors for deeper conversations across cultures and even across faiths.
More than anything, this book is a gentle nudge. It says, “Don’t just read about Allah; live in a way that brings you closer—through patience, through gratitude, through the way you treat others.
Whether you’re Muslim or not, if you’ve ever longed for a real connection with the Divine, this book has something for you.
Take your time. Open one book, then another. Let the pages meet you where you are. And with each step, see what they uncover about you, your faith, and the world you’re standing in.
