A Muslim Woman's Diary
Sign in to keep track of books you’ve read and want to read.
This short volume gathers brief reflections, reminders and counsel, presented as individual quotations, from a Muslim woman addressing women everywhere. Its pages are arranged around four core concepts in Islamic thought: haya (modesty), nafs (the self and its desires), sabr (patience) and obedience to God and one's parents. The author's goal is to help readers manage both the large and small troubles of daily life and to shift their outlook toward a hopeful one when hardship arrives. Along the way, the entries touch on what it means to value oneself as a Muslim woman living in a Western society, how to restrain the nafs, how to keep patience through difficult periods, and how to honour God and family. The tone is devotional, aiming to help readers take stock of their lives and find light in dark moments.
