🐝 What can bees teach us about forgiveness?

Our latest children's title, Nature and the Divine Names, invites young readers to reflect on this remarkable aspect of creation and connect it to one of Allah's beautiful names:

Al-Ghaffar — The Great Forgiver

Just as bees mend the broken places in their hives, Allah continually mends the broken places in our hearts through His mercy and forgiveness. Sometimes we may feel unworthy of forgiveness, but Allah never tires of forgiving those who turn back to Him with sincerity. Every mistake is an opportunity to return. Every repentance is a new beginning. Never despair of Allah’s mercy, for His forgiveness is greater than our shortcomings.

This is the unique approach of Nature and the Divine Names.

Rather than teaching Allah's names as abstract concepts, the book helps children discover them through the world around them.

🌷 A flower becomes a lesson in beauty.
🌊 A river becomes a lesson in generosity.
🐝 A bee becomes a lesson in forgiveness.

These connections help children see creation not merely as something to admire, but as a collection of signs pointing back to the Creator.

In an age of screens and distractions, this book encourages children to step outside, observe, reflect, and discover Allah's attributes through the wonders of His creation.

Because sometimes the smallest creatures can teach the biggest lessons.

Nature and the Divine Names is a beautiful resource for families, schools, and anyone seeking to nurture faith through wonder, reflection, and a deeper appreciation of the natural world.

🔬 Long before Darwin, scholars such as Al-Jahiz, Ibn Miskawayh, Al-Biruni, Ibn Tufayl, Tusi, and Ibn Khaldun explored ideas about adaptation, change, and the development of life.

These scholars were not presenting modern evolutionary theory, nor were they "Darwin before Darwin." Their ideas differed significantly from nineteenth-century science.

Yet they were engaging with questions of transformation, adaptation, continuity, and change centuries before such discussions became associated exclusively with Europe.

A Thousand Years Before Darwin uncovers this remarkable intellectual legacy and reminds us that the history of science is a global story.

How much knowledge has been forgotten simply because it didn't fit the dominant narrative?

✨ Ink of Light: Rumi & Eva de Vitray-Meyerovitch ✨

A beautifully written biographical novel that tells the remarkable story of Eva de Vitray-Meyerovitch, the French scholar and renowned translator of Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi into French.

Written as an intimate dialogue across the centuries, the novel takes the form of letters from Eva de Vitray-Meyerovitch to Rumi. In her first-person voice, she reflects on her life, her intellectual and spiritual journey, and the profound influence Rumi came to have on her work and worldview.

The book unfolds across twelve chapters, each introduced by a description of a successive stage of the sema ceremony of the Whirling Dervishes, the spiritual tradition founded by Rumi’s followers. The progression of these twelve stages mirrors the unfolding of Eva’s own life journey, creating a powerful structure that combines biography, spiritual reflection, and ritual symbolism.

Through these evocative descriptions, readers gain a deeper understanding of the sema as far more than a dance performed for spectators. It emerges as a sacred act of worship, rich in meaning, beauty, and spiritual significance.

Ink of Light offers a unique encounter between two extraordinary lives separated by seven centuries yet united by a shared search for truth, love, and transcendence.

Published by Fons Vitae and now Beacon Books is pleased to make this title available to readers throughout the UK and European Union.
