Dedicated to disseminating news & information not found in mainstream media....
Alya Nuri is a 10-year old American Muslim, author, and motivational speaker. She started her
writing career at the tender age of 7 and has recently published a 4 book series called “Things Every Kid Should Know”.
Her books target a younger audience and aim to educate and promote prevention of smoking, alcohol, drugs and bullying. Alya is a homeschooled 7th grader and loves reading books and working for the welfare of the poor and needy. She has written 10 articles and wants to continue writing more books for the betterment of youth. Her future goals include public speaking and coaching kids.
Alya is a very busy girl, but she was very accommodating in allowing MuslimMatters to interview her as a source of inspiration and encouragement for all Muslim parents and youth. May Allah increase all of our children in ‘ilm and eman Insha’Allah. Ameen.
Well, I started writing when my mom decided that she wanted to write her books. I went through many different titles until I asked my mom, “What do kids have trouble with?” Then she gave me the topics of Drugs, Alcohol, and Smoking and told me to research them. I started researching about them until I had read more than 100 books between the 3 topics. I then asked my mom for some true stories, and she helped me find some, and I was so sad. I never knew things like this existed, and so I thought I must help other kids be aware of these dangers before they get addicted by accident.
Well, my mom actually published my book because she has her own publishing company. What I did was write my book, and my mom then made me use my own money to pay for the editor. After editing, we had to have images created, then place them in the book, and the book was done. Then I had to approve the way the book looked, and then it went to printing. My mom did the rest.
Mostly positive. Many of the kids love my books and are now aware of these dangers. Most of the parents have given me great feedback. However, there are always some negative comments on my YouTube channel. Alhamdullilah, that is part of life, and my mom says you can’t please everyone, and our goal should be to please only Allah (subhanahu wata’ala).
Watching her write books, multi-task, speak on stage, teach me how to cook, and many other things that many moms don’t do daily. She has also given me homework, helped me with my assignments, and I love that she stays home to homeschool and be my best friend forever. Insha’Allah.
I never really wanted to give up, and I love homeschooling. My mom makes things easy. If something is hard, she finds other ways to explain it to me or make me go through it again to better understand it.
I have been more socialized that anyone from school has been, from holding snakes and alligators, to speaking in front of hundreds of adults and students. Alhamdullilah. I think due to people not experiencing it themselves, they have many misconceptions and wrong ideas about home schooling.
I want to become a zoologist and many other things. I plan to speak around the world and help unite people from different color and races. Most importantly, I want to be a hafidh of Quran and a Scholar of Islam, so that when I am making a difference in my career, I can explain the real Islam easily insha’Allah!
Advice to kids: Insha’Allah never give up on your goals. Anyone can do it with the help of Allah, but it will take time, so have sabr, for patience is the key to success.
Advice to parents: If your kid says something, don’t put them down. Support them because one day you will regret it. Your kid could become something great if you give them a chance.
