She seems like such a wonderful, inspiring woman, who never takes no for an answer and never fails to challenge the status quo, either in the society or in her own understanding of the world. This will to change, to evolve, and cause ripples around her, are essential parts of a feminist icon, and I'm very happy to have learned of one who lives in New York and is like me a foreigner from a different culture. It was also priceless to put a face to a powerhouse of revisionist Islam. And I think what I admire most in the way Sabeeha sees the world is the way that she can always spot the gray areas, both in her own conduct, in her religion, or the world overall, and she calls them out for what they are. And when she doesn't, well, I'm pretty sure she will one day :)My only problem with the book was that Sabeeha doesn't ever acknowledge the class component of the Islamic society at large and in Pakistan in particular, which in my opinion is a huge deal. Sabeeha and most people in the narrative are people who come from privilege. While it still renders them foreigners and migrants in the American context, they are nonetheless more open to change, evolution and assimilation than those who have less means to pursue education or repatriation. But I was peeved when Sabeeha completely glossed over the existence of domestic help or poverty in her homeland. What is Islam in Pakistan through the eyes of the family's servants? How does Sabeeha's view of them change as she continues living in the US? And what happens when her parents die, do the servants go back to the slums, or do they have families? How does Islam play into this sort of existence? I mean, yes, ok, I understand that Sabeeha's memoir can not account for all sorts of experiences in Pakistan and/or Islam, and it's a memoir, not a critical theory piece. But the way she circles these things, creates holes in her narrative, and the picture of middle class Islam that Sabeeha herself represents, while idyllic and evolved, starts to seem purposefully crafted.By no means am I implying that radicalization only happens within lower classes. No, it seems that the major players in terrorist organizations are usually people from privileged backgrounds, just like Sabeeha, but less kind and well meaning, empathic. But the cannon fodder is often the underprivileged, and we can't have an inclusive talk about the future of Islam in the world without talking about them.That said, I also understand that this book is more about being a muslim woman in the pre- and post-9/11 East Coast, and Sabeeha is the finest example of courage and compassion in those unfortunate circumstances. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ funny but sweet and true *by K***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2016* Humorous, funny but sweet and true: Sabeeha tells her story as she traces her journey from a young bride to a mother, to an immigrant trying to make America home, to a community leader, a professional an activist, an interfaith leader and much more.The book will resonate and enthral if you are:From Pakistan or the Indian subcontinent : It will bring back sweet memoriesAn immigrant: You will relive your experienceA woman: You will remember the challengesA Muslim: You will relate to the various faces and shapes of IslamAn Interfaith advocate: you will use it to promote your workA feminist: This is your storyA non Muslim: This is an example of the American Muslim identityA Parent in diaspora: perhaps one of the roads to walk on as you raise childrenA Young Pakistani American: A story of the struggles of your parentsAn immigrant Muslim family: Your story as you built a Muslim community here in AmericaThe Face of a Moderate American Muslim.Take this incredible journey with her. Once started, you will not put it down till the journey is over and all the threads have been woven in her prayers rug. ### ⭐⭐ I bought this book because I loved the title but as I read it *by L***S on Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2018* I bought this book because I loved the title but as I read it, I became disallusioned as I felt the author left her original intent to explain why the choice to build a mosque at the 9/11 site was misrepresented and went off on her personal issues which were not interesting to me. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fi/products/124732626-threading-my-prayer-rug](https://www.desertcart.fi/products/124732626-threading-my-prayer-rug) --- *Product available on Desertcart Finland* *Store origin: FI* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
