By Aysha Parry, International Islamic Publishing House, Paperback, 344 pages
The first question usually posed to a new Muslim convert – especially a woman – is: Why? Why would you leave the religion of your family to embrace Islam? ‘I Became a Muslim’ was written to answer this question.
Beginning with her early childhood memories in England, Aysha Parry explains how she became confused and then disillusioned by her Christian religion. After travelling around the world in a spiritual quest, during which she discovered different cultures and witnessed unusual religious practices, the powerful ‘call to prayer’ captured her heart, inviting her to embrace Islam.
Her final and brave decision was to put Allah, love and family at the heart of her new religious lifestyle in the place she now calls home: Egypt.
This book will inspire those who are considering converting to Islam as well as those who simply want to better understand this religion.
