If I Should Speak by Umm Zakiyyah
Product Details
Synopsis
The author promises to revolutionize storytelling in this powerful story about three collegestudents, one Christian and the others Muslims, who find themselves unlikely roommate at a
small, private American university.
Tamika, the main character of this novel, is a sophomore in college who dreams of becoming a
famous singer. After a fight with her roommate, she is forced to move out of her room and ends
up living with two Muslims, one who is religious, while the other is becoming discontented with
the religion. Tamika is immediately drawn to Durrah, the latter, who shares her love for singing.
Durrah is emerging as a successful model and singer in her own right and enjoys a growing level
of prominence in her career, which has earned her many admirers, Tamika being one. Captivated
by Durrah's magnetic personality, breathtaking beauty, and powerful singing voice, Tamika has
found both a friend and mentor in life.
The American Muslim Magazine - Ayesha Chung
Umm Zakiyyah's deft representation of reality in this fictitious novel is astounding. She intricately
but subtly weaves the lives of these three women into one powerful story…Throughout the
novel, the author presents intimate portraits of each woman, equipping us with the tools
necessary to puzzle together the personal and spiritual complexities of the women who must live
together and witness trying and intricate periods of each other's lives. Their unique histories
explain their peculiarities, and the story artfully dispels the popular notions that would portray
Tamika as the Christian partier whose spiritualism is only a façade, Durrah as the capricious
Muslim who utilizes college freedom to abandon Islam, and Aminah as a self-righteous, radical
extremist who dedicates her life to making others miserable. Instead, we are drawn into each of
their struggles, joys, and ambitions, and find that they are more alike than they appear and that
each of their lives represents a piece of our own.
suddenly stops. This book gives numerous examples of how Muslim women acted in the past to
remind us today of, not only what is permissible, but what is possible.
