is a Computer Scientist, Interrupted. After graduating in Computer Science, she did the Taleem Al-Quran Course at Al-Huda International, Institute of Islamic Education for Women, in Karachi, Pakistan. Since then, she has undertaken dawah in various forms: audio-visual content development, academic class instruction, student-group moderation, and subject teaching at Al-Huda branches. Marriage and the arrival of two energy-absorbers (a.k.a children) have rendered her more of a homemaker and freelance writer. She has contributed for howtodothings.com, helium.com, and writes articles regularly for Hiba Magazine, SISTERS Magazine and Saudi Gazette. She intermittently vents her emotions on her blog, Sadaf's Space, and teaches subjects such as Fiqh of Zakaah, Aqeedah, Arabic Grammar, and Science of Hadith part-time at Al-Huda. For most part, her Jihad bil Qalam involves juggling work around persistent power breakdowns and preventing four chubby little hands from her computer! Even though it may not seem so, most of her time is spent not in doing all this, but in what she loves most - reading.
