Why does the loss of a baby through miscarriage or stillbirth often feel like such a silent, lonely grief? How do you find the strength to move forward when your heart is heavy with a loss that the world around you doesn’t always fully acknowledge?
A Gift for Parents after Miscarriage or Stillbirth is a dedicated companion for this specific journey. While general grief books exist, award-winning hospital chaplain Zamir Hussain understands that acknowledging your specific loss – miscarriage or stillbirth – is the first step toward true healing.
This book acts as a gentle verbal embrace, using the author’s decades of experience with grieving families to answer the heavy questions that weigh on a parent’s heart. By anchoring every word of comfort in the verses of the Qur’an and authentic hadiths, it provides you a means to get through the hardest times. Within these pages, you have full permission to be human and grieve, while always being directed towards the wisdom and mercy of Allah.
It is one of the few dedicated resources in the English language that speaks directly to this specific pain with both scholarly authority and a friend’s warmth.
Designed with calming colours and soothing motifs, this hardback 56-page volume with ribbon marker, is meant to be a physical comfort. It is light enough to hold when you are tired and clear enough to read when your mind is clouded by grief.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between this book and A Gift for the Bereaved Parent?
While the core spiritual principles are similar, this book specifically names miscarriage and stillbirth. Many parents find that seeing their specific experience acknowledged in print helps them process their grief more effectively than general advice about child loss.
I feel like my faith is shaking right now. Is this book still for me?
This is absolutely for you. It doesn’t judge you for your confusion or pain. It gives you permission to grieve and uses the inner voice of the parent to help you find your way back to comfort through the words of Allah.
Is the content authentic?
Yes, the author holds an Honours degree in Islamic Studies and is a qualified chaplain. All quotes and references are sourced from the Qur’an and authentic hadith.
I am numb from grief. Will I be able to read this?
It is designed to be a soothing book in terms of its colour and calligraphic Names of Allah. Where there is text, it is in small chunks. It is designed to be gentle and it is ok for you just to sit with it or look at some of the Names of Allah for comfort.
Can I read or touch this book during postnatal bleeding (nifas)?
Yes, it is perfectly permissible to touch and read this book during postnatal bleeding or menstruation, as the restrictions on touching books specifically apply to the Mushaf or the physical Arabic-only text of the Quran.
This book does contain Arabic verses of the Qur’an and the Arabic names of Allah, but because this constitutes a minority of the whole book and it is meant to be a work of guidance, scholars agree that it does not carry the same legal rulings as the Mushaf.
