Download Threading My Prayer Rug: One Woman's Journey from Pakistani Muslim to American Muslim AudioBook Free
This enthralling story of the making of the North american is also a well-timed meditation on being Muslim in the us today. Threading My Prayer Rug is a richly textured representation on what it is to be a Muslim in the us today. It is also the luminous story of many journeys: from Pakistan to the United States in an established matrimony that becomes a love match long lasting 40 years; from secular Muslim in an Islamic world to devout Muslim in a world ignorant of Islam, and from liberal to conservative to North american Muslim; from learner to bride-to-be and mom; and from an immigrant going to stay 2 yrs to the American resident, business executive, grandmother, and tireless advocate for interfaith understanding. You start with a sweetly funny, moving profile of her established marriage, the author undercuts stereotypes and will be offering the relaxing view of the American life through Muslim sight. In chapters leavened with humor, hope, and information, she recounts an immigrant's daily problems managing assimilation with conserving heritage, overcoming religious obstacles from within and distortions of Islam from without, and confronting issues of raising her children as Muslims - while they lobby for a Christmas tree! Sabeeha Rehman was doing interfaith improve Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, the travelling power behind the Muslim community centre at Ground Zero, when the backlash commenced. She discusses what that experience revealed about American world.
