The Muslim (M)other Social and Political Commentary on Contemporary Muslim Motherhood

A powerful and groundbreaking book that every Muslim mother—and those who wish to understand her—should read.

In a world where Muslim identities are constantly politicised and misunderstood, The Muslim (M)other stands as a bold, necessary and deeply thought-provoking exploration of what it means to be a Muslim mother today. This pioneering work sheds light on the often-overlooked voices of Muslim women, challenging stereotypes and reclaiming the narrative from media sensationalism and political misrepresentation.

Why This Book Matters

The Muslim mother has become a powerful yet polarised symbol—blamed and burdened with everything from extremism to integration, all while her lived experience is rarely acknowledged. In this first-of-its-kind social and political commentary, readers are invited into the rich, complex, and emotional journey of Muslim motherhood in the 21st century.

From navigating Islamophobia, cultural expectations, and digital age pressures, to reclaiming motherhood as an act of resistance and spiritual devotion, this book dives into issues that are both deeply personal and undeniably political.
