The Making of a Salafi Muslim Woman: Paths to Conversion

Highly reccomend!

Inshallah.

May Allah reward the author of the book as she wrote the truth only! Excellent book worth every single penny spent on.

very well described, good research

published PhD. A thorough objective study of women immigrants for the most part and their reasons for choosing Salafism Islam.

This is a very detailed doctorate level study into the lives of young ladies trying to live a spiritual islamic life in the context of 21st century London. The author managed to interview a community of these women and she gains a deep and personal insight into their backgrounds, their lives, the struggles they have choosing to become a salafi in their day to day lives, with their families and with other muslims, it describes the choices and compromises they have to make with education and employment and their own ethnic communities (I learnt quite a lot about the expectations somalian and eritrean communities place on these young people and how their religious choice creates conflict with that) and the decisions and compromises they have to make in their day to day lives. I found my self empathizing with them and getting frustrated with them. It describes how the dating process takes place in a traditional community. Its a great book, I found it easy to read. For anyone who does or might come into contact with salafis its an essential read. Thoroughly recommended,
