Ep 66 - The Overlooked Story of Hajar (as)

Salim is joined by Mariam Hakim on this week's podcast. They discuss Mariam's past articles with The Muslim Vibe, and how she finds it important to focus on both dark and light content. This leads up to Mariam's book "An Ocean in One Drop", a project that started as a continuation of an article she once wrote for The Muslim Vibe about Hajar. They walk through the journey of publishing her book, giving an inside look to all the decisions made, from the Rumi-inspired title, to the illustrations based off a deeply rooted Gulf culture. ---- To keep up to date on the book and future projects follow Mariam on Instagram and Twitter at @mariamkshakim Follow @wawstories on Instagram and Twitter to find out where and when you can buy her book Be sure to check out Mariam's articles, mentioned in the podcast: https://themuslimvibe.com/author/mariamhakim And if you're interested in following Mariam's footsteps and writing for us, click here: https://themuslimvibe.com/write
