Sadaf Farooqi

Bio: Sadaf Farooqi was born and bred in Karachi, Pakistan. She is married and a mother of two kids under three. She graduated in the field of Computer Science (software engineering) from NUCES. Following her post-graduate Masters in the same field, she studied the Quran and sunnah at Al-Huda International, Institute of Islamic Education for Women. After studying there, she continues to teach Islamic subjects there to women of all ages, such as The Book of Zakaah, The Muslim Belief (Aqeedah), and Arabic Grammar. She also contributes articles regularly to Hiba Magazine. In her spare-time, she finds reading on the Internet an enlightening experience and an effective means of increasing her spectrum of knowledge.

Inspiration: My faith - Islam - inspires me to be of benefit to all mankind, in any way possible. I wrote short stories and poetry as a child, and found essay-writing for O and A Level examinations more of a pleasure than a challenge. During college, I wrote for the annual students' publication. Currently, I write primarily about what enriches and emboldens me: my faith in Allah, and the misunderstood religion of Islam. I also write about parenting young children in general.
