Join us for a meaningful evening of conversation and reflection inspired by A Light of Her Own: Muslim Womanhood as a Path to Allah. About the Book A Light of Her Own invites Muslim women to see their womanhood not as something that stands in the way of their relationship with Allah, but as an integral part of their spiritual journey.
