What is the That Shawarma Life Notebook?
It is a lifestyle journal by author Adil Bhatti, designed for Muslim men who live their deen fully and their halal food culture even more loudly. It features 200 college-ruled lined pages with Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem in Arabic calligraphy on every page, and a bold cover illustration of a Muslim brother living that shawarma life unapologetically. Available in hardcover (ASIN B0FK9WJS9S) and paperback (ASIN B0FJR45JBB) on Amazon.
Is this a good gift for a halal foodie or Muslim food blogger?
Yes, that is literally the audience on the cover. For the Muslim food blogger reviewing every halal restaurant in the city, the brother who can rank shawarma spots by neighborhood, the Muslim content creator documenting halal street food on Instagram — this notebook was made for his daily carry. The Bismillah header keeps even the food reviews grounded.
Can this notebook be used as a habit tracker or daily lifestyle journal?
Yes. Many Muslim men use That Shawarma Life Notebook as a daily habit log, a five-prayer tracker, a Quran reading record, a gym and fitness journal, or a dawah content planner. The unstructured 200 college-ruled pages let you shape your own system, while the Bismillah on every page keeps the intention right.
Does every page have Bismillah in Arabic?
Yes. All 200 college-ruled lined pages begin with بِسْمِ ٱللَّٰهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ (Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem) in elegant Arabic calligraphy. The cover is about lifestyle. The inside is about intention.
Is this a good Ramadan gift for a Muslim man?
Absolutely. The Ramadan rhythm for Muslim brothers — Suhoor, fasting, Taraweeh, iftar, late-night chai and shawarma — fits this notebook perfectly. Use it for Ramadan goal tracking, Quran reading logs, khutbah notes, and the iftar menu you keep rebuilding. The hardcover edition is a strong Ramadan present for a halal-lifestyle brother.
Is it suitable as an Eid al-Fitr or Eid al-Adha gift?
Yes. The hardcover edition makes a standout Eid al-Fitr or Eid al-Adha gift for Muslim men who already have everything — it's functional, it's Islamic, it has personality. Pair it with a gift card to a local halal spot for the full effect.
Can it be used for Jummah khutbah notes?
Yes. That Shawarma Life Notebook is commonly used as a Friday Jummah companion — recording khutbah points, imam references, du'a to make later, and Islamic reminders to revisit during the week. The college-ruled format keeps handwriting legible even when the khateeb is moving fast.
What size is it?
The notebook measures 6.24 × 9.24 inches with a 0.64 inch spine and weighs 12.8 ounces. It is college-ruled with 200 lined pages. Fits comfortably in a backpack, Jummah bag, laptop bag, glove compartment, or on an office desk.
Is it available in hardcover?
Yes. Available in hardcover (Amazon ASIN B0FK9WJS9S) and paperback (Amazon ASIN B0FJR45JBB). Hardcover is the one that survives gym bags, road trips, and the backseat of the car.
Who is this notebook designed for?
Designed for Muslim men, halal foodies, Muslim food bloggers, Muslim content creators, Muslim influencers, lifestyle-focused brothers, Muslim dads, college brothers, Muslim teen boys, and Islamic school students. Also works as a gift for wives, mothers, sisters, and friends shopping for a cool Muslim man in their life.
Can it be used for halal restaurant reviews or food blogging?
Yes. Muslim food bloggers and halal-loving brothers use That Shawarma Life Notebook as a restaurant review log — tracking spots visited, dishes rated, and neighborhoods explored. Pairs well with a camera, a car, and a willingness to drive an extra 30 minutes for the right garlic sauce.

Is it halal and Islamically appropriate?
