Becoming a Muslim — or returning to the faith after years away — is one of the most significant decisions a person can make. It is also, quietly, one of the most disorienting. The prayers are in Arabic. The calendar is lunar. The neighbourhood mosque assumes you already know how to make wudu. The books on offer are either too academic to help with a first Ramadan or too devotional to answer the practical questions that keep you awake the night before.
A gentle, steady companion for your first year as a Muslim. If you have just said the shahada — or you are quietly wondering what it would mean to — this book is written for you.
