About This Book

New Muslims, and women in particular, are often asked why they left their family's religion for Islam. In I Became a Muslim, Aysha Parry answers that question through her own story.

She begins with her childhood in England and describes how she grew confused and then disillusioned with Christianity. Her search for meaning took her around the world, where she encountered different cultures and religious practices, until the call to prayer drew her to Islam. She describes building a new life centered on Allah and family in Egypt, which became her home, and talks openly about what she found in Islam, what she left behind, and the challenges she faced before and after converting. The publisher notes that some of her statements may not fully match Islamic creed; they reflect her personal experience and her ongoing learning.
