ANOTHER 5 STAR AND A DEFINITE READ FOR ALL MY MUSLIM GIRLIESSS!!!
Salaam, with Love is about a girl named Dua who travels to NY to spend Ramadan with her cousins who she hasn't seen in 5 years. During this trip she becomes determined to connect with her family, faith and her future by tackling different aspects she feels she's struggling with.
"Ramadan is not just about learning to be grateful for the food and other blessings in our lives, but also about remembering God often and forming good habits, like praying on time and reading Qur'an often"
This is a book I recommend a lot of muslim girls to read it hyped me up for Ramadan and was so relateable to me. I, myself, am a South Asian Muslim just like Dua and just like her I am trying to figure out my own life and journey. I found all of these beautiful characters to be incredibly relateable and her struggles I saw as my own.
This book really tackles dilemmas a lot of Muslim girls face as they grow up like the prospects of marriage and making sure to have respectable careers. It's able to put perspective on the pressures faced which I adored so much. I feel like after reading this book I am ready to fast during Ramadan and I wanna be closer to my religion.
