Salam, I’m Safia 👋🏽
I am the founder of Safa Merwa and creator of BrightMinds Kids Books — but before anything else, I am a mother.
Everything I create is inspired by my own journey, my children, and the resources I wish I had growing up. I taught myself to read the Qur’an in my thirties, which inspired One Line One Ayah: Al-Baqarah Journey — a gentle way to memorise Qur’an one line at a time, especially for busy women who want to stay consistent without feeling overwhelmed.
I created BrightMinds Kids Books because my youngest loved doodling, drawing and creating, but struggled with structured Islamic study. I wanted children to learn who Allah is, when to say Alhamdulillah and MashaAllah, how to make du’a, and how Islam fits into everyday life — in a way that feels soft, creative and joyful.
I have also created Islamic books, journals and guides for children, mothers and Muslim women, including My Little Book of Du’as, My First Islamic Studies Book, The Honest Jar, The Visitor Who Asked Big Questions, But Mum, My Friends Have Boyfriends, Teach the Heart Before the Hijab, and The Seven Sacred Laws of Success. My hope is that every resource becomes a small light in someone’s home — helping families grow with love for Islam, barakah and lasting benefit.
“Indeed, actions are judged by intentions.”
