Azlin graduated from Nanyang Technological University's School of Art, Design and Media in Singapore. She first became known for The Shawl Label, a brand selling ethical shawls to women, which has since closed; her focus moved to AA, whose community HalalTrip put at about 160,000 readers, sustained by courses and products so that the letters themselves can stay free and sponsor-free. A profile by Rabata's Ribaat blog describes her as a Singaporean residing in Morocco running the AA Plus community. ^{2 1}

In her own description she is "a writer, entrepreneur, and a proud believer" committed to serving her readers. Her letters take up topical questions, reflection and everyday spirituality, and her podcast holds long conversations with writers and community figures; she shuttles between Singapore, Morocco and London, and her community's testimonials credit the letters with reconnecting women to their faith and to themselves. ^{1 2}
