Our bodies and souls were "created "to rest--regularly--and when
they do, we experience heightened productivity, improved health,
and more meaningful relationships.

spiritual journey, as well as special Sabbath experiences with
political colleagues such as Bill Clinton, Al and Tipper Gore, John
McCain, Colin Powell, George W. Bush, Bob Dole, and others. Senator
Joe Lieberman shows how his observance of the Sabbath has not only
enriched his personal and spiritual life but enhanced his career
and enabled him to serve his country to his greatest capacity.

As President Bush is preparing to invade Iraq, Wall Street
Journal correspondent Asra Nomani embarks on a dangerous journey
from Middle America to the Middle East to join more than two
million fellow Muslims on the hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca
required of all Muslims once in their lifetime. Mecca is Islam's
most sacred city and strictly off limits to non-Muslims. On a
journey perilous enough for any American reporter, Nomani is
determined to take along her infant son, Shibli -- living proof
that she, an unmarried Muslim woman, is guilty of zina, or "illegal
sex." If she is found out, the puritanical Islamic law of the
Wahabbis in Saudi Arabia may mete out terrifying punishment. But
Nomani discovers she is not alone. She is following in the
four-thousand-year-old footsteps of another single mother, Hajar
(known in the West as Hagar), the original pilgrim to Mecca and
mother of the Islamic nation.
Each day of her hajj evokes for Nomani the history of a
different Muslim matriarch: Eve, from whom she learns about sin and
redemption; Hajar, the single mother abandoned in the desert who
teaches her about courage; Khadijah, the first benefactor of Islam
and trailblazer for a Muslim woman's right to self-determination;
and Aisha, the favorite wife of the Prophet Muhammad and Islam's
first female theologian. Inspired by these heroic Muslim women,
Nomani returns to America to confront the sexism and intolerance in
her local mosque and to fight for the rights of modern Muslim women
who are tired of standing alone against the repressive rules and
regulations imposed by reactionary fundamentalists.
Nomani shows how many of the freedoms enjoyed centuries ago have
been erased by the conservative brand of Islam practiced today,
giving the West a false image of Muslim women as veiled and
isolated from the world. Standing Alone in Mecca is a personal
narrative, relating the modern-day lives of the author and other
Muslim women to the lives of those who came before, bringing the
changing face of women in Islam into focus through the unique lens
of the hajj. Interweaving reportage, political analysis, cultural
history, and spiritual travelogue, this is a modern woman's jihad,
offering for Westerners a never-before-seen look inside the heart
of Islam and the emerging role of Muslim women.
