Our story
It began with
a dictionary
Garden of Words began with something simple: a dictionary of Islamic terms, made to make learning about our deen clear, gentle and approachable. What started as a small seed slowly began to grow.
It became a newsletter, then a blog, and with Allah's help and the encouragement of readers, the seasonal magazine, ebooks and resources you find here. It has never been about perfection, but about sincerity, and it is tended by many hands.
