Taking Control: A Muslim Woman's Guide to Surviving Infertility

Wow, what an incredible book. I experienced inexplicable infertility for 5 years before giving birth and my gosh, I wish I had read this in preparation for the journey I was to have all those years ago.As soon as i found out about this book, I knew it would be something I'd want to read and would want to share with others. I have!From the beginning, it's absolutely clear that Farah was made to write this pertinent and very necessary book for all Muslim couples. Her personal experiences that have shaped her to become the person she is (and I'm not just talking about her experiences with infertility here - I was in tears reading about her childhood) alongside the practical skills she has gained through Coaching made me feel like she was absolutely the best person and most qualified to be the voice of reason for all those who are experiencing infertility (regardless of the stage that they are at).The book does what it says on the tin. It's practical, and informational to give Muslims a good understanding of the options they may have available to them, the experiences of others who considered different avenues, and how to not let this experience take a toll on yourself and your marriage.Thank you so very much for filling a gap that needed filling for our Muslim sisters. Allah grant you goodness in this world and the next for sharing something that can make one feel extremely vulnerable. May He bless you with the coolness of your eyes and righteous leaders of Islam in this world and the next, ameen ya rabb.

I gifted this book to a dear friend of mine. As I am the one who purchased the book I am leaving her review on my account as she can not do so on hers. These are her words:"This book was gifted to me by one of my dearest friends. Alhamdulilah, what can I say? This is a much needed book for sisters who are going through infertility struggles written by another sister who is walking in the same shoes. Raw, open, honest and totally relatable; this is a must read. You'll shed a lot of tears but also sigh with a lot of relief that you're not alone. I also ask that Allah azj reward the author for sharing her own journey with us and for releasing a much needed book for sisters like myself who have been trying for a baby for as long as I have, 17 years." Asiya.May Allah swt bless all sisters struggling with this unique pain and battle of infertility strength, courage and patience. May He bless you with success in completing your family with children and if He instead has other plans for you, may He bless you with understanding that He is perfect in His wisdom, May He bless you with accepting His Qadr, and may He bless you with a heart that is humbled and closer to him and kinder and gentle to others ameen Allahumma ameen.

There are no books out there like this one. The author has shared her experience openly for others to find comfort, in a world where women fear they are judged for something that is beyond their control. I highly recommend this book, particularly for muslim women. It may just be the little light you need in a dark time.

An intimate and hopeful book on infertility, exploring the journey of trying to become a parent. Such a faithful and heartening book- you'll love the Islamic concepts -so comforting!Any woman would find this book helpful, it's full of the self-help guidance and gives practical explanations on supporting loved ones going though infertility.I would've loved to have seen more pages dedicated to men going through infertility as they also face battles we don't talk much about...All in all, A must read - really loved this mighty little book!

Thank you Farah! It’s absolutely incredible work👍👍 I nodded, cried and laughed.It’s well-worth the time and money.I hope it’ll be translated to different languages and reach many people. It’ll provoke thoughts and give solace.

This book is beautifully written, Farah shares her story so frankly and in a way that provides inspiration, hope and support to those who are on a similar journey.The book is also enlightening for all those looking to support their loved ones who are experiencing infertility. I would love to see this book shared widely in the Muslim community so that many women benefit from this guide.

Really loving it, have actually teared up a bit reading it, such an inspirational story ♥️💓 May Allah bless it for you!

What a amazing and insightful book, I personally know someone going through this and to see it written from a woman's point of view is informative. Would highly recommend for anyone going through a similar experience or curious about this matter to pick up and read this book.
