He and his wife Randa Taftaf founded Rummana Publishing in 2017, motivated by the birth of their son Zayd and their shared commitment to providing Muslim children with books featuring diverse, relatable characters rooted in Islamic values. The Zaydo Potato series, which Maz co-authored with Randa, follows the young character Zaydo and his companions as they explore their faith through everyday adventures. The series includes 'Zaydo Potato: Allah Loves Me', 'Zaydo Potato: Can Allah See Me Now?', and 'Zaydo Potato: A Muslim Superhero', all illustrated by Lovyaa Garg and published by Rummana Publishing Inc. The books are designed to encourage children to search for hidden details within the illustrations and include educational activities at the back of each volume.
