Islamic life & practice

A deep look at the personal and professional challenges of wearing the hijab while living in the Western world, Modest in the West uncovers the spiritual journey of a girl born a Muslim who grew up not abiding by Islamic practices. While working for one of the largest companies in the United States and most influential in the world, Hadiatou Wann learns to fully embrace her Islamic identity, but could that make her a victim of Islamophobia or help her forge a relationship with non-Muslim co-workers grounded on mutual respect? Islam being the fastest growing religion, non-Muslims and Muslims are bound to come into contact. But can they see eye-to-eye? Here in these pages is a rare look behind the hijab and the woman wearing it.

Reviews for Modest in the West: An Untainted Journey of Wearing Hijab

An inspiring and thought-provoking view of the way Islam is known, welcomed, and respected by other cultures. -Nazmim Alim, Founder & CEO of modestwear brand Aab An inspiring story with a real, raw, unfiltered perspective on the author's journey with hijab and modesty. This book is a great reminder that perfection isn't expected (in terms of our faith), but sincerely working toward growth in any area is where our peace and reward lies. -Briana Canty, Founder and CEO of modestwear brand Modesty & Co. Outstanding! This story is raw and inspiring! It shows the resilience to discover a new Islamic identity that brings a new spiritual perspective and peace into Hadiatou's heart and life! Many Muslims will relate to this journey! Very engrossing! This story will capture your heart! -Sabirah Lucas, Author of My Babysitter Wears Hijab An honest and forthright read about the how and whys of one woman's decision to wear the hijab in the West.
