Noor loves her mum, and all the other hijabi women in her family, but wonders why do they wear headscarves? Is it so they can hide snacks for later? Or because they're a super spy and hiding their secret identity? Full of curiousity, Noor sets out to find her answer, but her family are all busy and have no time to answer this important question. Just as Noor is ready to give up on her quest, her Ammu arrives home and knows just the thing to say. This heart-warming yet funny tale is a celebration of Muslim women, curious children, and family love.

This beautifully illustrated book introduces readers to Prophet Muhammad's (pbuh) childhood and to those who helped raise the man that would, by the will of Allah, lead an entire ummah and be an example for all time. This book introduces readers to Prophet Muhammad's (pbuh) very early life, his childhood and to those who helped raise and shape the man that would lead an entire nation and be an example for all time. The Beginnings of Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) is a meaningful story written in a child's voice with a young reader in mind. What differentiates this book from others are the personalities it focuses on. In alternate books about the Prophet, much isn't written about his mother who passed soon after his birth nor about the women who raised him. Meet a handful of the men and women that helped shape the early life of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). In these pages, you will find his mother, Amina bint Wahb; the women that loved and protected him like their very own, Halimah Sa'diyyah and Barakah (Umm Ayman); and his beloved grandfather Abd al-Muttalib, alongside his uncle Abu Talib.

The research project was designed to isolate bacteria associated with common spices. Spices are vegetable products or mixtures, free from extraneous matter, used for flavouring, seasoning or imparting aroma in foods. Many of the spices are used fresh without any form of processing and any undesirable organisms associated with these spices may pose threat to the consumers. Particularly under humid tropical conditions where public health management is not so efficient these organisms may be a matter of concern.
