Glimpses Of True Beauty From The Lives Of Pious Women, Volume One

Glimpses of True Beauty from the Lives of Pious Women – Volume One

A Transformational Read for Every Muslim Sister, Daughter, Wife, and Mother Discover the True Meaning of Beauty – Beyond the Mirror

In a world obsessed with outer appearance, where beauty is reduced to filters, foundation, and fashion trends, Glimpses of True Beauty from the Lives of Pious Women invites every Muslimah to turn the gaze inward—towards the heart, the soul, and the essence of what it means to be truly beautiful in the Sight of Allah ﷻ.

This powerful and inspirational collection highlights the timeless inner beauty of Muslim women throughout Islamic history—mothers of the Ummah, wives of the Prophet ﷺ, female companions (رضي الله عنهن), scholars, worshippers, and righteous women who lived with imaan, hayaa, sacrifice, and submission to Allah.
