I Am A Muslim Girl

The years before adulthood are when a young Muslim girl either builds the habits that will carry her religion forward or drifts into them without understanding. I Am A Muslim Girl by Shaykh Ahmad al-Mazrooi is a short book written for exactly that stage — simple, clear guidance on what she believes and what she is being asked to do, before the obligations of adulthood arrive.

What This Book Covers

The Purpose of Creation and the Pillars of Faith

Why Allah created her, what she believes, and the articles of faith she is expected to hold — stated plainly and without complication, as the foundation everything else rests on.

Guarding the Prayer and Following the Sunnah

The prayer as the obligation she is about to become accountable for, and the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as the standard by which she learns to worship and behave.

The Etiquette of Daily Life

The Islamic manners that shape a Muslim's day — how she speaks, how she treats her parents and others, and the adab that marks her out as a Muslim in ordinary situations.
