Abstract	Purpose: In this paper, the author adapts the concept of culturally relevant pedagogy and the pedagogy of hope for Middle Eastern Muslim students' education. This paper aims to develop a new perspective for educating Middle Eastern Muslim students by focusing on Islam by considering being Muslim as a cultural way of being and living. Design/methodology/approach: Pedagogy of hope (Hooks, 2003), particularly the concept of healing in education and culturally relevant pedagogy (Ladson-Billings, 1995), guided this study during the research process. Findings: Three themes of culturally relevant pedagogy through a picturebook by Mobin-Uddin (2007) entitled "The Best Eid Ever" was examined to illustrate how this picturebook can be used as an example of culturally relevant pedagogy. Research limitations/implications: The limitation is the researcher's interpretation as a Middle Eastern Muslim who lived in a Western country. "The Best Eid Ever" (2007) can be used in the classroom for Middle Eastern Muslim students' education to discursively build a positive identity and educate students from different backgrounds. More studies may investigate other texts (e.g. novels) with Middle Eastern Muslim characters. Further research can also explore the use of this book in the classroom. Originality/value: This study provides qualitative description of a picturebook from culturally relevant pedagogy and pedagogy of hope to guide teachers to bolster Middle Eastern Muslim students' schooling experiences.
