Founder & Vision

Welcome to Khadijah Inspired – Coaching Souls One Page at a Time

Salaam and welcome! My name is Areena Ali Memon, and I’m the heart behind Khadijah Inspired.

I was born and raised in Pakistan and now live in Illinois, where I homeschool my three children and strive to create a nurturing, faith-centered environment for our family. As a Professional Life Coach trained in the Science of Nafs, I specialize in supporting women through personal transformation rooted in Islamic psychology and spiritual growth.

I’m also a lifelong learner—passionate about deepening my connection to the Deen. I'm currently pursuing my Bachelor of Education (B.Ed) at the Islamic Online University (IOU), studying Fiqh with Ustadh Abu Eesa through Logical Progression, and learning Tajweed under Ustadha Marwa Qaderi.

Books have always been a central part of my life. I love reading, attending Islamic knowledge retreats, and sitting in the gatherings of our local scholars—who are a true fountain of wisdom. I cherish the opportunity to grow alongside like-minded sisters who are equally committed to learning and living this beautiful faith.

Through Khadijah Inspired, I hope to share the light I’ve found in sacred knowledge and meaningful words—offering books that speak to the soul and reflect the richness and diversity of our Ummah.

How It All Started

Khadijah Inspired began in a modest apartment in Illinois, driven by a heartfelt desire to make meaningful Islamic books more accessible to the Muslim community. Over time, that vision grew into a space where faith, learning, and healing come together—through the power of written words.

As a life coach and mother, I’ve come to deeply value how books can guide, comfort, and teach—not just us, but our children too. Words are powerful tools for nurturing hearts and shaping strong, compassionate Muslim identities.

Why “Khadijah Inspired”?

The name Khadijah Inspired was chosen with deep intention. It honors Khadijah (radiyallahu anha)—the Mother of the Believers—whose life exemplified strength, integrity, wisdom, and unwavering faith. Her legacy inspires our mission to serve with excellence and sincerity.

We are guided by the timeless standards of Islamic ethics and the example of great women and scholars in our tradition. Every book we offer is selected with care to uphold those values.

Our Mission

At Khadijah Inspired, our mission is to offer books that:

  • Nourish the soul and promote personal and spiritual growth

  • Spark meaningful conversations within families and communities

  • Instill timeless values of honesty, empathy, resilience, and faith

Our store proudly features:

  • Books with characters from diverse ethnic backgrounds – because Islam is beautifully universal, and every child should see themselves represented

  • Stories that tackle real-life issues – like bullying, lying, emotional well-being, and identity, all in engaging and age-appropriate ways

  • Works by both local and international Muslim authors – to uplift the voices of our global Ummah

  • Curated selections that reflect Islamic values while encouraging reflection, healing, and connection

Whether you’re a parent, educator, or a lifelong learner, we pray you find books here that inspire you and those you love—one meaningful page at a time.
