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

Product Information

Full of practical advice and insightful thoughts, this is one book that every Muslimah should be talking about. Books, flash cards, posters and other products must be unmarked, unwritten on, unbent, and in new condition. Big Little Steps is a holistic and feminine take on the ins and outs of Islam, written by a young French lady. This is a different approach than a book that is written for/by someone who was brought up learning that Islam is the truth.

This chapter also has stories of modern-day Muslim women from across the globe – all having Islam as the binding factor. Even though I was already reading it, I feel really proud to own this informative and educational book. There are a few things I do slightly disagree with (I am not the biggest fan of PETA but see why she used them as a source). 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.I remember the carpet, the kids that were surrounding me and climbing on top of their mothers while everyone was praying. Mathilde is a French thirty-something woman who has lived a life filled with faith and spirituality from a young age. Only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I wished it would of spoken more about the hijab since it’s something that I’m still confused about as a new Muslim but overall the book is pretty good. Readers are kept engaged with quirky watercolour illustrations, such as of constellations when describing the history of the Quran, and of a woman praying.

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. The author has sectioned the book into five parts – Faith, A Way of Life, Womankind, Prayer, and Togetherness. 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.

Mathilde is a French thirty-something woman who has lived a life filled with faith and spirituality since a young age. The author has included motivating, inspiring, and encouraging quotes from people, mostly women, from all walks of life.
