I didn't care about the characters at all. The dialogue in this story didn't feel realistic at all. The words "bro," "akh" brother , and "man" were used way too often and it bugged me so much. What does that even mean? I am so confused. The story is told in first person with two different POVs.

That's cool. But at one point the female character, Amirah is narrating and she literally says," Zayd was back from his Saturday job and I was like, 'Bro, you need to take over That's dumb. You can't use "and I was like" in narration. I understand that's how people talk, but that does not belong in a book unless it's direct dialogue.

Other ridiculous things: "And he scored a very respectable eight in our totally naughty but hilarious Muslim hottie chart: the 'Mottie Scale'" "There was something about the way he moved - strong, graceful, rippling, like a cat - that made something flutter in my stomach.

From a purely artistic point of view, of course. A hand holding a basketball with a mole below the middle finger. And it was obvious who it belonged to. Light Eyes.

Maybe it's because I'm not into cheesy romance so I can't really enjoy it. I dunno. Jun 25, Papatia Feauxzar rated it really liked it. For me, it was a poetic romance. And not everybody can get into that style of writing. The only thing that kept me from giving it a five stars was the way the book was designed and the Arabic words. Every chapter is from a different person point of view. It took me a bit to realize who was talking at first.

And that feeling never got away with each new chapter I started. I always started confused. I also didn't see consistency with the Arabic words. Some were in italics, some were not, some were For me, it was a poetic romance. Some were in italics, some were not, some were capitalized, and some were in lower caps. Maybe it's a British thing I'm not understanding.

Overall, it's good read and a book to give to our children so that they can see that halal romance is possible. Jun 20, Noran Alaa added it. I'm not exactly the most avid romance or fiction reader, but this book caught my eye and I went through it faster than I did any other book. I wouldn't put it down! The whole story of Amirah and Ali and how different their life is than in usual love stories enhances the excitement and spontaneous feel of the story.

I definitely recommend it. Nov 06, Iris Ymra rated it it was amazing Shelves: y-a , lovey-dovey.

She Wore Red - Our Innocence Lost (letra da música) - Cifra Club

The story of Ali and Amirah; the struggle they faced on becoming a better muslims; the issues in muslim community the hard yet true events that as a muslim I am quite familiar with. The story revolved around individual, family, and friendship. It conveyed the journey -- of every one of the characters -- we as a muslim could say, 'I'd been in this situation before', as we are striving to stand strong and rooted in this right path, of deen.

And around all of that, how these two souls -- Ali and The story of Ali and Amirah; the struggle they faced on becoming a better muslims; the issues in muslim community the hard yet true events that as a muslim I am quite familiar with. And around all of that, how these two souls -- Ali and Amirah -- found their hearts to be beating the same rhythm of falling in love, from the first moment of their encounter. How the two finally settled to be in a halal relationship in most overwhelming and 'unconventional' way of performing their nikah -- one event that'll worth telling the future children.

I have all sort of emotions along my reading; the frustration, the feeling touched, the happiness, the sadness, the anger -- but at the end, everything just fall into places accordingly -- the same way our life will definitley be. Jun 17, Elizabeth Lymer rated it it was amazing. I couldn't put the book down. I thoroughly enjoyed the story and style; I laughed; I cried I need to read more by Na'ima B Robert insha'Allah.

Oct 25, Sabreen rated it it was ok Shelves: cliche , good-idea-bad-execution , ugh-mary-sue , instalove. Back in high school when Na'ima B. Robert came to speak at my school, this was the book she was writing at the time. And I have a lot of mixed feelings about this book. On one hand, it's nice to see a novel that reflects the experiences of a Muslim teenager living in the West. Unlike certain other Muslim protagonists , Ali and Amirah aren't discovering Islam as something new and exotic, they're living it in the air they breathe. It's just With identity struggles from time to time, but just On the other hand, it's fucking uncanny.

The downside of being able to identify with something kinda is that I can't help comparing it to my own experience and being unable to suspend my disbelief. And she in return memorizes his hands well enough to draw them from memory, which is a level of unrealistic I can't even express and art doesn't work like that? From across the basketball court? Thing is, I know this scene-- Muslim guys playing ball outside the mosque, hogging the court, wallowing in their masculinity, and then A pause.

Opposite-gender relations are so rare for some people that this is genuinely significant moment that you're going to discuss with your friends later. He looked at me. It's ridiculous. I'll judge you on your merits, with a clear head, and make a rational decision, one that is based on fact, not butterflies. After their initial meeting, I thought maybe they would interact some more, actually get to know each other outside of superficial things but They had a handful of short, half-flirty moments and admire each other from a distance and somehow Ali decides he wants to be with her for the rest of his life.

You know the type. The thing is, this happens. People rushing into marriage because it's the halal way to marry the person they wanted to date And being stuck in it for life, OR they get divorced and face extra stigma because of a dumb ass decision they made at 18 years old. Anyways, one could have a halal relationship without it being substanceless. Like, this is where the suspension of disbelief comes in again because Good Muslims since the author is really intent on not having one speck of ambiguity in this book DO talk to the opposite gender.

One has to interact through school, through the mosque, through organizing activities and so on. And what about that whole thing about Wali's?

She Wore Red

Isn't it allowed for Ali and Amirah to be in the same room as long as Zayd is there? It wouldn't have been difficult. The book is directly contradicting itself in it's message. A narrative that tried to bridge the gap between Islamic "morals" and the modern search for intimacy and happiness.

Not to be cynical or anything, but it feels to me like this is story about teenagers rather than for them. Like a guide for what Muslim teenagers should do when faced with Issues tm. Except it falls short, because Ali and Amirah never do anything haram in this entire book.

They're Good Muslims now. Their friends are good Muslims. Moral dilemmas? Ali shuts down his ex-girlfriend, Amy, right away, and there's no tension here because we know he's not going to go for anything haram. There's no way for character to develop if they don't, y'know, have flaws in the first place If you're raised in a religioius atmosphere, you've probably seen the different types of preachers and leaders.

The youth leaders, probably born and raised in the West. They appeal to you with jokes and pop culture references, acting like a siblinglike figure who listens to all your problems including taboo topics like sex, drugs, etc. But they're feeding you the same guidelines you learned from your parents and traditional preachers: never doubt, be chaste, don't wear tight clothing or fall outside the good girl mold, etc. That's what this book is like. It's preachy, but I do believe this one is more interesting and better written than Boy vs. So make of that what you will. Ali and Amirah are referred to several times as "mixed" but unless I missed something, it's never stated what goddamn ethnicity.

Boy vs. Girl focused too much on ethnic background, this one didn't mention it at all. Each one of them has a convert parent, but are they white? Non-Muslim readers probably have a hard enough time getting used to "mashallah" and "inshallah. And I've never heard the word tarbiyah used in casual language.
