Poems from the Heart

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.
