Sakina Bintul Hussain

Written by Sakina Hasan Askari, Let’s Learn About Bibi Sakina (AS) is an accessible educational book crafted specifically for young readers to learn about the life, character, and sacrifices of Bibi Sakina (AS), the young daughter of Imam Hussain (AS). Written in clear, engaging language with simple phrasing and large typography, the book introduces children to her upbringing in Madina, her exceptional intelligence, and her titles of devotion. It traces her family’s historic journey from Madina to Makkah and onto the desert plain of Karbala, highlighting her special bond with her family members—including her baby brother Ali Asghar (AS) and her loving uncle Hazrat Abbas (AS).  

Through chronological, bite-sized chapters, the book gently narrates the tragic events surrounding the Day of Ashura, the loss of her loved ones, and her incredible patience in the face of thirst, grief, and imprisonment. Rather than dwelling purely on sorrow, Askari focuses on Bibi Sakina’s courage, faith, and enduring love for her father. Designed as a learning guide for Muslim children growing up in the West and around the world, the book aims to inspire young minds to stand up for truth, show patience in difficult times, and remember the sacrifices of the Prophet's household.
