They have put forth stories of what they are living and, in their living, their humanness reveals clearly that it is the determining factor uniting us in our fitrah journeys back to where we came from. Our fiction, our imagining, is a must for bonds to form and barriers to demolish. When our imagination is controlled by our intellect, justice is the result.

Muslims attend western schools with all sorts of people. The young adult Muslim does not view colour, nationality and madhabs like their elders. It was refreshing to read Unravelling the Lie: Step Back, Step Forward without getting bogged down in the characters’ identities beyond being Muslims. Laila Hasib has done a fine job of keeping those aspects from the reader and guiding us toward the understanding that we’re all human beings and the true criteria in a spouse is piety. \u003cem\u003e(Name Withheld, Somewhere in the USA)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI could taste the suffering of Sakinah and Adam as they tried to unravel the aged traditions and beliefs of their parents to uncover the truth of Islam.

Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him and his family, married women of different backgrounds, nationalities, class and colour. It may be difficult at times, but all marriages require stamina.

Rummaging among the items in my trousseau, I grabbed the box and manipulated the secret compartments, found the key and lock within its disguised drawers and opened my treasure cove. My eyes fell onto the photograph. I gingerly picked it up and held it out at arm’s length. A wave of calmness came over me that was difficult to explain. As I pressed the picture close to my heart, I resolved to pull myself together. I did not let this happen, I said out loud. They did.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo ends Chapter One of Unravelling the Lie: Step Back, Step Forward, in Laila Hasib’s patiently awaited novel.

Our parents have forgotten how it feels to be in love. They don’t understand the pressures of living as a young adult in the west. Thank you, Laila Hasib, for Unravelling the Lie: Step Back, Step Forward. \u003cem\u003e(Name Withheld, Toronto, Ontario, Canada)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI was fascinated by the format of Unravelling the Lie: Step Back, Step Forward. At first, I couldn’t understand what was going on and who was speaking, but as I became immersed I quickly realized the two characters were speaking in the past and in the present. The novel kept me on my toes and I couldn`t put it down. \u003cem\u003e(Name Withheld)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis love novel about discrimination within Muslim families and communities is a much-needed discussion. Muslims attend western schools with all sorts of people. The young adult Muslim does not view colour, nationality and madhabs like their elders. It was refreshing to read Unravelling the Lie: Step Back, Step Forward without getting bogged down in the characters’ identities beyond being Muslims. Laila Hasib has done a fine job of keeping those aspects from the reader and guiding us toward the understanding that we’re all human beings and the true criteria in a spouse is piety. \u003cem\u003e(Name Withheld, Somewhere in the USA)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI could taste the suffering of Sakinah and Adam as they tried to unravel the aged traditions and beliefs of their parents to uncover the truth of Islam. I rooted for them throughout the novel. They grappled with not losing hope in love and a future together, but always clung to their love of Allah and Islam’s true and pristine sensibilities. \u003cem\u003e(Name Withheld, British Columbia\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInshallah, Laila Hasib`s Unravelling the Lie: Step Back, Step Forward will open the eyes of people and enable them to discard discriminatory practices which make Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him and his family, sad. Those of us who miss the point of her novel have lost out. If I needed to, I would request my parents to read her book so I could marry the spouse of my choice. Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him and his family, married women of different backgrounds, nationalities, class and colour. It may be difficult at times, but all marriages require stamina. But we’re all one big family and I see it as the way of the future. \u003cem\u003e(Name Withheld, Markham, Ontario)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE AUTHOR\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLaila Hasib is the author of several young adult novels.
