Umm Bilaal B. Sabir

Her teaching career began with an Edexcel Certificate in Supporting Numeracy and Literacy before moving into the field of EFL. After more than a decade of teaching children, teenagers and adults she progressed to teacher training. She holds years of invaluable experience as an IDP IELTS writing examiner, and IELTS coach, and recently moved into School Management and QTS mentorship.

Al Huroof first began as a homegrown project over 3 decades ago, with a small team of homeschooling mothers from various professional backgrounds. Between 1995 and 2003, 4 children’s magazines were designed and published for young Muslim readers, called ‘al-Huroof’. The magazine had a unique style of featuring articles written by children for children, as well as puzzles, quizzes and more.

After a break, Umm Bilaal B. Sabir, is back with more knowledge, skills, and experience to expand from magazines to a range of short book series for young Muslim readers. She aims for a humorous, colourful yet creative approach, careful to present accurate religious and cultural representation in her work.

Although there is a focus on reading material for Key Stage 1 readers, she also writes for a broader audience about Health and Well-Being topics.
Topics include learning about the Prophets, Qur’aan, Du’aas, and Pillars of Islam. Her books are available worldwide in English, with a number of titles translated into Arabic, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Spanish and Urdu.

Under Al Huroof, she also offers broader educational services covering: curriculum design, administrative and academic school dashboards, coaching, mentoring, teacher training, customised workshops, courses and more.
