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

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

By Mathilde Loujayne

Explore Islam through a warm, personal and distinctly feminine perspective with Big Little Steps: A Woman’s Guide to Embracing Islam.

Inspired by Mathilde Loujayne’s own journey of embracing Islam, this thoughtful guide was created from her desire to explain her choice to her mother and to support other women taking their first steps towards faith. Drawing on experiences of school, grief, living abroad, work, marriage and motherhood, the author addresses many of the questions and concerns women may encounter while discovering and practising Islam.

The book introduces essential Islamic beliefs and practices while exploring how faith can bring balance to everyday life. Topics include understanding Allah, the Five Pillars of Islam, fasting, prayer, ablution, mental health, natural wellbeing, modesty, women’s rights, sisterhood, marriage, love, death and belonging to the wider Muslim community.

Written in an accessible and encouraging style, Big Little Steps is particularly suitable for new Muslims, women considering Islam and those wishing to reconnect with their faith. It can also help family members, friends and readers from outside the Muslim community develop a more personal understanding of Islam and the experiences of Muslim women.
