Written by a Muslim convert and mother of three, Welcome to Islam captures the occasionally poignant but often humorous reality of beinga Muslim in the current climate: as a convert, a working woman, amother, and as an active member of the local community. Discoverwhat its really like living life as a Muslim: praying the ritualprayers at work in an office when your boss walks in; going on Hajjwith hundreds of Saudi women dressed from head to toe in black; orexplaining to your six-year-old daughter, who is looking at thepictures in the newspaper, that the bearded Asian Muslim who is beingarrested for terrorism isnt in fact the family friend we all know andlove - just someone who looks extremely similar. It is rare topick up a newspaper or watch the television without encountering a'Muslim issue at least once. Lucy Bushill-Matthews story brings thefaith behind the headlines refreshingly to life.
Lucy Bushill-Matthews has been a Muslim for 16 years and is now married with 3 children under the age of 10. She has run a Muslim madrasah for many years, spoken about Islam with children at primary and secondary schools and those visiting the local mosque, and trained teachers, police and other groups of adults about understanding Islam and Muslims. For the last two years, Lucy has written a monthly light-hearted column about being a Muslim mum in the British Muslim magazine Emel.
