Love from Mecca to Medina

Product Information

This book awakened my memories of when I went for Umrah 8 years ago and I wasn't sure if it made up for my longing to go there again or made me miss it even more. and i'm not saying this lightly) it took me back to all those rites and rituals i did, all those years ago, and put them in a new clarity, a newer understanding.

I'm editing to add my actual review but I'm leaving my original message up since I think it's still important for readers to note. And when it's getting too unbearably intense, SK Ali decided to threw some light jokes to the narrative. But it just goes to show that a lot of drama can be avoided if Muslim men and women who aren't mahrams are not unnecessarily "friendly" with each other. Saints and Misfits", and her second novel, "Love from A to Z", were both best YA books of the year as named by Entertainment Weekly, Kirkus Reviews, and the American Library Association.

For Thanksgiving that year they already planned to have a little getaway, quality time just for the two of them in London. If Love From A to Z made me giddy and happy, this book had made me frowning but also just in love with it all. On the trip of a lifetime, Adam and Zayneb must find their way back to each other in this surprising and romantic sequel to the “bighearted, wildly charming” (Becky Albertalli, New York Times bestselling author) Love from A to Z. Moving on, this book was based on miscommunication and jalousy which is, as far as I am concerned, a recipe for disaster.

And Adam's enthusiasm was actually contagious because I started yearning to go that special place again😭 I could literally feel him as I have been through this. On the other hand, Zayneb is living in Chicago, studying law, and dealing with outrageous accusations regarding the funds. Another thing I would like to add is that the Prophet (PBUH) met his wife Sayeda Maymunah during Umrah.While reading, I keep getting the feeling that this book is not written for Muslim audiences only but rather for non-muslims. When it gets to the point that her father in law is concerned why they are weird with each other… you know it’s an issue. But mashaAllah all those feelings vanished straight away as soon as i caught the first sight of Kaabah. She was buttoning up the cardigan and trying hard not to glance at Adam’s face—an action she knew would set her off in peals of laughter. Zayneb, who’d been playing with the goose, her forehead furrowed as she explained the latest drama in her life to Adam, now dropped the pendant to wave at Hanna.

Perhaps gazing at the souvenir Kaaba could ignite the feeling of being in Mecca with her dad this past summer.Her debut novel Saints and Misfits was the winner of the 2018 APALA Honor award, the 2017 Middle East Book Honor Award, and a 2018 William C.

The whole bulk of the story is about the spiritual journey both Adam and Zayneb go through that brings them closer to one another when they thought they were growing apart due to Life Reasons. I just wanted to look at the same sky as Zayneb for more than a vacation, a break, a pause in our lives. Her widely acclaimed second novel, LOVE FROM A TO Z, a story about finding love in the time of Islamophobia, was an Entertainment Weekly Top Ten Young Adult Book of 2019 and a Goodreads Choice Awards finalist .Now we get to the controversy that I’ve seen circulating around due to, again, ignorance regarding your own religion. literally idk where zayneb begins and dina ends (except for the part she has adam chen and i dont have my version of adam chen. I feel like I should be starting this part of the review with a disclaimer, more for me than anyone else. Although being stuck in the hospital with my kid for 10 hours is never an ideal reading spot, it did give me uninterrupted time to get through this long-awaited sequel of Love from A to Z!
