Big Little Steps: A Woman's Guide to Embracing Islam

Product Information

I remember when I first started my Muslim journey, finding information on literally anything was so hard. When you are absolutely clueless about Islam, or you only know about what the media wants you to know (which isn't good. A ‘self-help’ book for Muslims, which seeks both to inspire Muslim women, but also to educate those outside the faith. I personally think, this book is suitable for non Muslims, to learn and Muslims to relearn about Islam. It’s the first ever book of which my family read the synopsis of and said it was actually good, and that I should read it.

The idea of writing this book started haunting me for years and I slowly watched it become an unattainable dream, the longer I did nothing about it,” she tells The National shortly after the global book launch last month and before it’s released in North America in January. Since her conversion to Islam in 2002 Mathilde Loujayne has crossed paths with women from all walks of life on a common spiritual journey to discover Islam from a feminine perspective. It contains just about all the information you have ever needed to hear in regards to any burning questions about Islam. Mathilde weaves her own personal story of conversion to Islam, into this accessible manuscript in which personal anecdotes mix with more formalistic descriptions of religious practice.This chapter also has stories of modern-day Muslim women from across the globe – all having Islam as the binding factor. Overall, I would recommend this book to those who are interested about Islam or want to practice Islam. So in a nutshell, this amazing, customized😋,faminine, self help book is for women and full of references from Quran and hadith with speculative practical advice. It is an easy to understand and useful guide to anyone wanting to become Muslim, especially brave women!

Through Mathilde Loujayne's personal experiences - grief, high school, moving abroad, work, marriage, and motherhood - she addressses women's common concerns as they take the big, little steps towards finding a balanced lifestyle and a glowing heart in Islam. Even though I was already reading it, I feel really proud to own this informative and educational book. Big Little Steps is all about love for Islam from Muslimahs in all walks of life, and the feeling of belonging to the ummah, regardless of the level of faith one has.

Mathilde is a French thirty-something woman who has lived a life filled with faith and spirituality since a young age. The book shares such a beautiful quotes and anecdotes that were such a delight to read, and it reminds you of the key foundations of your faith.

Big Little Steps is a little handbook for Muslimahs (or those interested in Islam) on taking the big steps in their life. Personal notes to the reader are also scribbled in the margins, giving it the appearance of a well-kept journal or diary, as opposed to a heavy book on religion. Full of practical advice and insightful thoughts, this is one book that every Muslimah should be talking about.There’s also an undeniable focus on women, as Loujayne highlights Islamic Hadith and practices that relate to females.

You will stay ‘you’; you will simply benefit from the process as you make positive changes to your way of thinking. So I felt like I could make a difference by making the book visually appealing to the female audience with a pale colour palette and hand-drawn illustrations to bring my stories to life – the visual aspect meant just as much as the content I was writing,” Loujayne explains.Beautiful light pink cover, hand paint pictures and every page has margin to take your notes while reading😍, all these unconventional way make this book more interesting.
