Muslims

[close] this is a book club group for muslim girls (in case the name wasn’t clear) we’ll do monthly reads and discuss them; these will mainly be Islamic books, but we can include fictional reads at times as well.

[close] Have you ever wanted to smack an uncle in the face for saying you're not a Muslim anymore? Have you ever heard an uncle giving tafseer and thought "this is complete bs"? If you said yes to any of the above (or anything near it), then this group is for you! We will delve into proper philosophical Islamic books, not limited to a single subcontinent or genre. The idea is to flourish proper Islamic scholarship as it was in the Golden Era. True scholars understand the importance of all types of knowledge, not just the Bangla translation of Sahih Bukhari from 1776 sitting on your bookshelf.

[close] Dear Readers Asalamualaikum, As part of our research for our Thinking Muslim Courses and our ongoing podcasts, The Thinking Muslim and A Muslim Mom we find ourselves reading as many books and essays about current trends of thinking and Islam. There is so much thought-provoking material out there! Alhumdulilah we've been discovering so much! We decided to start The Thinking Muslim Book Club, as we want to share what we're learning, encourage wide and challenging reading, and hear the thoughts of others. This book club is dedicated to exploring issues in some more depth and untangling the complexities of the world around us. The club was created after we began delivering our first pilot course in the UK (see our website for new courses). As part of the sessions, we regularly posted accompanying reading material and was prompted by many of our participants to formalise a book club. The plan is to periodically read a title and then to organise avenues for discussion. We aim to have at least two books ongoing. One for general books with an end of month discussion for brothers and sisters and one specifically for sisters, which may focus on a book of specific interest. Of course, sisters are free to join either. Join our telegram channel to receive updates https://t.me/thinkingmuslim Wasalam Farhat Amin & The Thinking Muslim Team!

[close] Welcome to our community of Muslim readers! As avid readers ourselves, we noticed a lack of representation for Muslim authors, especially in technology, history, and nonfiction. We also saw a need for a space for young Muslim readers to connect and discuss books. That's why we created this group. Here, you can: Share book recommendations and discuss your favorite reads Participate in fun book-related games Engage in meaningful conversations about important issues Ask questions about Islam in our dedicated Q&A section Whether you're a devout Muslim or simply curious about the faith, you're welcome to join us. We're building a warm and inclusive community where everyone can feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and ideas. So, go ahead and introduce yourself! We can't wait to get to know you and discover new books together.
