Art with a heart

What started as simple doodling during the pandemic is now this Science student’s favourite after-college pastime. Self-taught artist Mariya has been taking custom orders for calligraphy on almost anything you can imagine—books, cups, holders, frames—and delivers in no time. “Arabic calligraphy is therapy for me. I love to read translations of ayats and include them in my work so people who don’t know the language can read and appreciate the beautiful meaning of it too,” 
she adds.

Planning for the best

An Instagram find, we love this productivity-based stationery brand by Fathima Hudha Bedi, featuring Islamic stationery. We recently bought their Ramadan planner, which has checklists, trackers, duas, dhikrs, adhkars, ayah of the day, deed challenge, and taraweeh instructions. The kids’ dua stickers are cool, too. There are tearable Islamic planners with customised tasbeeh that we are eyeing next.
