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. You will stay ‘you’; you will simply benefit from the process as you make positive changes to your way of thinking. A Way of Life depicts how simple acts such as eating, fasting, praying, self-care, and animal welfare is not only mundane living, but also a way of life according to Islam which can be turned into acts of worship.Overall, I would recommend this book to those who are interested about Islam or want to practice Islam. 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. In this portion author mentioned reason of writing this book is to communicate with like minded women. 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.

Reading this book gives me the insights into the reverts’ life and their experiences which I will never experience as a born Muslim. I had concerns with certain concepts and issues related to the religious aspect in the book, which I have written about in my blog https://ummafrazblog. Big Little Steps is a little handbook for Muslimahs (or those interested in Islam) on taking the big steps in their life. 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.I didn’t have any modest clothing so I had to layer a t- shirt under a sweater and ask my brother for a pair of pants because all of mine were skinny jeans. Big Little Steps is a holistic and feminine take on the ins and outs of Islam, written by a young French lady. Through Mathilde Loujayne's personal experiences - grief, high school, moving abroad, work, marriage, and motherhood - she addresses women's common concerns as they take the big, little steps towards finding a balanced lifestyle and a glowing heart in Islam. This would, insha Allah, bring up their spirituality, and with Allah’s Guidance they would be guided aright.
