About Rabia Bashir

Rabia Bashir is a British-Bangladeshi go-getter who guzzles green tea to get things done! She lives with her travelling buddy and husband Irfan, plus two book-loving boys: Rayyan & Ridhwan. Rabia has a Diploma in Mental Health Nursing and a Degree in Psychology. She later became a CELTA teacher and lived in sunny Saudi Arabia for four years. Creative writing has been Rabia’s passion since childhood. She has written poetry and drafted a novel for grown-up audiences. But after becoming a mom for the first time in 2016, writing Islamic children's books became her mission! And that's when she set up Precious Bees as a Sadaqah Jariyah project. In Ramadan 2020, Rabia changed the project's name to what she had originally wanted: Bismillah Bees.
