About Read & Transform

Hi, my name is Basi and to put it simply, I love reading for my personal and spiritual growth. I like to write about what I have discovered in my readings, in the hope that it helps you as much as it has helped me.

About Me

Other than the fact I love reading, here are a few other things about me:

I am Muslim woman.

  • I love learning about the beauty of Islam.

  • Growing up, culture and religion were so intertwined, leaving me confused. I am Pakistani.

  • Evolving as a Muslim, I am constantly unlearning misconceptions and learning true Islam.

  • Almost half of what I write is based on Islamic books I am reading.

Mother of 3 beautiful children

  • My goal was to have 3 kids before I turned 30.

  • I achieved my goal; I had my third child at 29 and turned 30 a few months later.

  • I believe in giving my children confidence to be their true and best selves.  Each child is different and needs a different parenting approach.  I write more about this on my blog.

 

Creator of readandtransform.com

  • Started writing in March 2024.

  • My writing is a cross between information for others to benefit from and a personal journal.

  • Read & Transform is my long term Sadaqah Jariyah project (Islamic term for on-going charity that will benefit others even after I pass away)

 

Part time Data Analyst

  • Self-confessed Microsoft Excel enthusiast.

  • It was the one small additional Excel module in my Business Degree that has helped me the most in my career.

  • I love numbers, structure and organisation.

 

Co-founder of Warwickshire Muslims Community Organisation

  • Warwickshire Muslims is a non-profit organisation that runs quarterly events that bring the Muslim community together.

  • I have been living in Warwickshire for over 10 years, and I was missing the community aspect in my life.

  • I am honoured Allah (swt) chose me to help set this organisation up. I wanted new Muslims in the area and Muslims that have been living here a while, to know they are not alone.
