This book is dedicated to my family. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the love and faith you have given to me throughout my life. Mom, you are forever close to my heart and a very important part of my life. Dad, I will always remember your caring heart and strong faith. Without my parents’ strong faith, I would not be where I am today.
I especially thank my husband, Kamran, for all of his support—you are the main reason I sought and found such a beautiful religion. To my children, Burhan and Yusuf, whom I love so very much—may they always find strength and comfort in God’s love. May my family and friends always find peace, strength, and hope in God, especially Nancy, Shirley, and Ken. Also, a special acknowledgment to Abdul Majid Khan and Rana Majid Khan.
SkyLight Paths Publishing extends appreciation to the Masjid al-Noor in Wappingers Falls, New York, and the Jerrahi Mosque in Spring Valley, New York, who generously allowed us to photograph their mosque interiors. SkyLight Paths also wishes to thank Imam Muhammad Asil Khan, Imam Muhammad Salahuddin, and the girls’ youth group at Masjid al-Noor for their help.
