When grief and injustice collide, faith becomes the only lifeline.

In this powerful true story, Aisha Othman takes readers on an emotional and spiritual journey through the loss of her beloved daughter Farah, and the painful legal and personal battles that followed. What began as a mother’s heartbreak soon became a battle for faith, justice, and the right to honor her daughter according to Islamic tradition.

Told with honesty and grace, A Mother’s Trial is both a memoir of loss and a guide for resilience. Drawing from her personal experiences as a mother, a Muslim, and later as an attorney, Aisha reveals how Allah’s wisdom unfolds even in the darkest moments — and how pain can transform into purpose when guided by trust (tawakkul) in Allah.

Through her story, readers will find lessons about:

• The importance of choosing the right spouse and preserving faith in marriage.
• The necessity of preparing an Islamic Will and Trust to protect one’s family and burial rights.
• The strength found in sabr (patience), du‘āʾ, and unwavering belief in divine justice.
• Turning heartbreak into a mission to serve, advocate, and empower others.

With the raw honesty of a mother and the precision of a lawyer, Aisha Othman delivers a deeply moving reflection on love, loss, and redemption.

“Through every trial, there is a lesson. Through every loss, a return to Allah.
And through every injustice, a reminder that faith is the greatest defense of all.”

A Mother’s Trial is a must-read for anyone facing adversity, navigating family challenges, or seeking to understand the power of faith when tested beyond measure.
