Why I Wrote “The Woke Writer”
This book was born from a deep need—to give Muslim women writers a voice rooted in faith, self-trust, and creative abundance. For too long, we’ve been told to conform, filter, and minimize our truths. This book is a reclaiming. I wrote it to offer you a safe, sacred space to write from your heart—through your deen, your identity, and your pain. May it serve as your companion through clarity, courage, and creation.
How This Book Is Changing Lives
Sarah Muhammed
Although we all subconsciously know that we’re here to worship Allah, the haze and gloom (or glitz) of this dunya blurs our vision.
Our primary purpose becomes a faded backdrop as we focus on pursuing our passionate purpose. Aishah makes it a point to remind that through our passionate purpose too, we are meant to serve our primary purpose. And if it doesn’t serve, well, there’s a lot for us to learn in the book. From understanding Islam and our purpose, to handling emotions, to pledge and blueprint of being woke; the book, with all the baby and big steps to accomplish your sensible living and writerly goals, is just as humbling an experience as it is inspiring. It did help me recenter my focus during these trying times when I’ve lost my focus often.
The book speaks in sister Aishah’s genuine tone— compassionate, inspiring, determined and succinct. She’s the only one who knows how often I’ve turned to her with my woes and she has put them to rest with her deep knowledge and never-say-die spirit. Having this book truly feels like being in her companionship.
This book is hardly 200 pages, but with references, precise wording and practical steps, it encompasses the knowledge and wisdom multiple times over. As much as I wanted to dive into every bit of it before posting a review, I just couldn’t. Cuz the world works a certain way and we must post our reviews early on to let people know the book is worth their investment. If there’s one thing I’d like to say about this book, it’d be that this isn’t a book to read and get over with; it’s the kinda book you keep on your desk and keep turning to over & over. It’s like a bowl of protein (eeman) packed salad you keep in your fridge for when you’re hungry or just need a quick pick-me-up: nutritious and filling. It is what it says, a Muslim woman writer’s companion (maybe we can drop the word writers, cuz everyone’s bound to benefit from it). And who could’ve offered this any better than someone who is just as desirable a companion as her words and wisdom is.
I pray this book finds it’s place on your desk, in your handbag, on your desktop screen, on your nightstand, or your kitchen counter—always somewhere accessible.

I’ve been looking for a book on creative inspiration for a long time, and this book did not disappoint!
Each page is full of gems and wisdoms from the Qur’an and Sunnah. Aishah does a spectacular job of explaining how Divine inspiration, and intuition interlink — and she explains how we can actually channel this into our own creativity. (I’ve also enjoyed listening to her course “The Woke Writer” where she goes into more detail about this). As women, we are deeply intuitive, so learning how to hone into that intuition (and differentiate it from other ‘voices’ has honestly been life-changing in my creative journey).
If you’ve been looking for inspiration, and want to take your writing to the next level — then this book is for you! I have not read anything like this before.
Fatima Zahra
It is a must read for aspiring writers.
The book is an easy read filled with loads of insights and tips.
It is a great motivator for the days when self doubt, imposter’s syndrome and procrastination brings you down.
The Woke Writer is sure to inspire you to fulfil your life’s purpose, to motivate and encourage you to get your own story into the world.
As Aishah says in her book
“Even if the world doesn’t read your words – – perhaps only a few or maybe none – – – that act of writing with meaning had an impact if it weighed heavily on the scales of good on The Day of Judgment, and that is what really mattered.
