A review by bookishbasma
Love from Mecca to Medina by S.K. Ali
5.0
This book was beautiful. There’s no other way to describe it, it was just so so beautiful. My love from Adam and Zayneb knows no bounds and this book just took it farther. Adam and Zayneb face so many trials in this book and how they persevere is a testament to the immense character growth. This book is a perfect sequel, as it shows us that even as they have their individual and couple conflicts, they’re still the characters we met in Love From A to Z, just a little more grown up.
I cried so much in this book. Not because it was sad (although anytime Adam brought up his mom, I was a goner) but because this book touched me in a way only S.K. Ali can do. Like Adam and Zayneb, I’ve been struggling recently. And this reminder of my faith and that there’s *always* time to turn to Allah SWT had me in tears. Perhaps not a part of the book that the non-Muslims could relate to, but good representation is always written with community in mind and this book was written by a Muslim for Muslims and it truly shows. I’m been wanting to do pilgrimage whether it’s Hajj or Umrah for a while and this book only intensified it. Inshallah one day
