his identity as a Muslim, and although Amirah has sworn never to
get married, they can't stop thinking about each other. Can Ali and
Amirah ever have a halal 'happily ever after'?

"Come with the pilgrims as they set out on a journey, a journey of
patience to the city of Mecca." We are led on the journey of a
lifetime to the city of Mecca - the pilgrimage known to Muslims as
the Hajj. The pilgrims walk with heads bare and feet in sandals;
they call to Allah; they kiss or point to the Black Stone, as the
Prophet did. Arriving at Mecca, they surge round the Ka'aba, shave
their heads and travel to Mount Arafat. Finally, though their
bodies are tired and aching, their spirits are uplifted, knowing
that with thousands of others they have performed the sacred
pilgrimage. This is a window on to a sacred journey for Muslims the
world over - beautifully described and illustrated for younger
children.
Covered from head to toe with only her eyes visible, the sight of a
Muslim woman on a western city street rarely fails to provoke a
strong reaction. Feelings of shock, horror, repulsion, pity or even
fear are not uncommon. But have you ever wondered who it is behind
the veil and what makes her tick? Ever wondered what her life is
really like and whether her dreams, hopes and aspirations differ
from yours? From My Sisters' Lips offers a rare glimpse into the
lives of a community of women, most of whom are converts to Islam,
and invites you to share their joys, sorrows, convictions and
faith. When Na'ima B Robert abandoned her western lifestyle and
embraced Islam six years ago, it was not a decision taken lightly.
Yet soon after she took her first tentative steps towards covering,
she felt empowered; no longer judged on physical appearances alone,
no longer seeking the approval to feel beautiful - or using her
looks to wield power over men - the experience effected her
greatly. Before long she grew in confidence and courage. As she
says, 'Something just clicked. I thought, "Good, don't look; don't
compare me with your latest squeeze, don't try and guess my
measurements - my body is my own business!"' From My Sisters' Lips
offers a glimpse into the lives of just some of the extraordinary
women who, like herself, have chosen to live behind the veil. What
emerges is a vivid and intimate portrait of a sisterhood; as they
speak candidly and with conviction on a diverse range of subjects
ranging from marriage to motherhood, stereotypes, submission and
self-image, we hear the strong, proud voices of those who are
seldom heard.
