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

Product Information

Any parents not meeting criteria, but where support is considered likely to prevent baby coming into care at birth, can be discussed on an individual basis. Prayer has a separate chapter of its own, covering topics such as ablution, menstruation, istikharah, women visiting masjid, the call to prayer, and prayers on special occasions. We believe that breastfeeding is the ideal nutritional start for babies and we fully support the World Health Organization’s recommendation of exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life followed by the introduction of adequate nutritious complementary foods along with continued breastfeeding up to two years of age. Togetherness is connecting with the ummah, where the author portrays the fact that we are all connected with each other, and thus must be there for one another, be it in times of festivities, or in times of death. This book is not about me: I’ve written it for you and to form a community of like-minded women. My story is merely one of many. So be your own soul teacher – feel free to mark your personal comments and questions in the margins and to seek answers on your own.

This book is designed to empower women with Islamic values. Five pillars of Islam are the tools to become the best version of ourself. Author's idea of getting along with like minded sisters and being part of global sisterhood of muslim ummah is really inspiring! 😍😍 The inclusion of watercolour works done by the author’s mother shows the level of respect and closeness the author has with her mother. Weekly, ‘Stay and Play’, sessions at the Family Centres which will support baby’s development, build parents confidence and understanding of their baby’s needs. Physical activities both indoors and outdoors are a big part of each day at our nursery. Our fantastic, well-equipped outdoor area includes all weather play surfaces for all ages to enjoy… come rain or shine! Delicious and healthy foodIt took almost a decade – nine years to be precise – for Loujayne to write the book, from conceptualising the idea to drafting the synopsis, putting it all together and then finding a publisher. The project was deeply personal, inspired by her own conversion to, and experience of, Islam. “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. Finding peace will bring solace to your heart. Every person comes with their own nature – change your bad habits but keep the good ones! You will stay ‘you’; you will simply benefit from the process as you make positive changes to your way of thinking. Think of it like adding more sprinkles to the top of the cupcake!”

Its first sentence sets the tone for what’s to come: “I hope there will be croissants in paradise”. It might be an unlikely opener for Islamic literature, but, throughout, Loujayne uses simple, everyday language, while retaining an educated, informative tone. For example, when describing the obligatory prayers, she writes: “He has prescribed for us set meeting hours to talk to him, confide in him, and it’s up to us whether we RSVP or not. This rendezvous strengthens our relationship with God, deepens our spirituality and holds many rewards.”

eBook Details

This is a book full of heart. New Muslims and those who are newly committed to their religion will find much useful information conveyed with common sense and compassion. ― Dr. Ingrid Mattson, London and Windsor Community Chair in Islamic Studies at Huron University College (Canada) 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). But other than that, her view and information was so refreshing to hear. To hear her personal experience really made me feel less alone in my journey and that I am not the only one who is facing hardships.
