“A ‘self-help’ book for Muslims, which seeks both to inspire Muslim women, but also to educate those outside the faith” – Dr Myriam Francois
Since her conversion to Islam in 2002 Mathilde Loujayne has crossed paths with women from all walks of life on a common spiritual journey to discover Islam from a feminine perspective.
Fuelled by a desire to find the right words to explain to her mother her choice to embrace Islam, this guide was born.
Through Mathilde Loujayne's personal experiences - grief, high school, moving abroad, work, marriage, and motherhood - she addressses women's common concerns as they take the big, little steps towards finding a balanced lifestyle and a glowing heart in Islam.
Big Little Steps is the culmination of one woman's pilgrimage towards religion. From an atheist family upbringing through an exploration of Christianity to finally embracing Islam, Mathilde Loujayne converted in 2022 and has since crossed paths with women from all walks of life on a spiritual journey to discover Islam from a feminine perspective. Fuelled by a desire to find the right words to explain to her mother her choice to embrace Islam, this guide was born.
Through Mathilde Loujayne's personal experiences - grief, high school, moving abroad, work, marriage, and motherhood - in this book she addresses women's common concerns as they take the big, little steps towards finding a balanced lifestyle and a glowing heart in Islam.
This is a guide she wished she had when she took her first steps as a New Muslim. She began writing it in an attempt to explain her life choice to her mother and has finished writing it as a personal discoure on contemporary issues for New Muslim Women as she invites them to participate in global sisterhood.
This book is intended to empower women with Islamic values. To welcome them into a universal family beyond borders. To call them towards a simpler life, where their physical and spiritual needs are harmonised, and to address common concerns as they take the Big Little Steps towards finding a balanced lifestyle and a glowing heart in Islam.
