Amirah Publishing was created by Yahiya Emerick, who converted to Islam after a long spiritual journey during the winter of With a new convert’s zeal, he tried his hand at translating the Qur’an into modern English throughout into , and this initial work later led to his opus contributions in this field. In he was working as a teacher in an Islamic school in Michigan, and he wanted to give back to the community for all the great books he had read over the previous few years.
His first book was a compilation of hadiths in more fluid English called, “In the Path of the Holy Prophet.” The bus driver for the school in which he worked also had a part-time job working for a copy business and printed copies (basically all xerox copies bound up like a book) for about $ (A big expense for a severely underpaid teacher in an Islamic school!)

Ummah Reads
Today in “Meet the Author”; I am honored to interview Yahiya Emerick. He is an author of over twenty books including the Ahmad Deen and Layla Deen series, an educator, a publisher and president of the Islamic Foundation of North America (IFNA).
Muslim Children&#;s Books and Media (MCBM):Assalamu alaykum brother Yahiya and welcome to the blog.
Yahiya Emerick (YE): Wa alaykum assalam, happy to be here!
MCBM: Tell us a little about yourself.
YE: Well, I was born and raised in a small town in the Midwest region of the United States. I was raised as a Baptist Christian and had a pretty unremarkable childhood. I became interested in theological issues when I was around fifteen years old after hearing a sermon one Sunday that made absolutely no sense. The preacher was trying to explain the concept of the Trinity, and, needless to say, it made me more perplexed than before. I accepted Islam when I was nineteen and away at college. I had been reading the Qur’an for about six months and couldn’t deny the personal appeal from God to the reader. Ever since then I’ve moved about and did some activists work and eventually I became a school teacher. So here I am today.
MCBM: When did you begin writing? Why?
YE: I was an avid reader from an early age.
