After another year of believing, praying, supplicating, working - and masking through the ongoing Covid Pandemic, this list was a welcome joy for Juwayriyah and I curate for you all. The BIG LIST of Muslim Authored Books continues to grow longer and expand across a variety of genres. While we are still committed to highlighting Muslim fiction, the books from the plus category will not disappoint! From marital issues to mental health support to calling out the hypocrisy of yet another French hijab ban, Muslim authors went to work to represent Muslim voices. However, this list isn't in any way exhaustive of all of the literature that was published by Muslim authors this year. We try our best to stay connected and networking with Muslim authors throughout the year by positing releases on our Muslim Girls Read, Inc Facebook page (subscribe here). But if we missed you or you missed connecting with us, please know it wasn't intentional.
As always, we celebrate Muslim authors around the world as the vanguards that they are! There is no better time to write and narrate our lives, joys, trials and goals in this ever-changing world as Muslims. Until next year, enshallah ~ Keep writing.

Hands Off Our Hijab: Muslim Women Putting Liberal Hypocrisy On Trial by Farhat Amin
Why are liberal politicians banning our hijabs and niqabs?
Under the presidency of Emmanuel Macron, France had the audacity to ban Muslim women and girls under the age of 18 from wearing the hijab in public. What was the response from the liberal progressive world? Shameful silence.
So as Muslim women, how should we react to this attack on our Islamic dress code? Why do non-Muslims politicians and governments hate our hijab? How can Muslims individually and collectively support the challenges sisters are facing?
These are the questions I will be tackling in Hands off our Hijab, and I believe we need to put liberal hypocrisy on trial. I sincerely want to help Muslimahs make sense of the challenging situation and take back control of the narrative but not on their own terms: on Allah's terms.

Muslims speak of Islam in egalitarian terms: the religion of peace, the religion that seeks to elevate man over his base desires, the religion that does not discriminate based on race and ethnicity. Despite the egalitarian spirit of Islam, the lived reality of many Muslims is very different, and this is most apparent when we observe how Muslims deal with race and ethnicity. Muslims who are Black in the West in particular, have found that while Islam may not discriminate based on race, many Muslims do. To make matters worse, some of those Muslims will delve in to the Islamic tradition to justify their biases and bigotries, seeing no contradiction between their racism and the Islamic ideals. This work seeks to clarify and debunk some traditions which support their racist positions and presents biographies of early Muslims who were Black. The biographies of these great Muslim personalities shows us how Blackness was a normal part of life for early Muslims, in sharp contradistinction to modern prejudices against Black folks found in some Muslim communities.

The Spirit of Black Folks: Sages Through the Ages by Jalaludin al-Suyuti Translated by Imam Adeyinka Mendes

Janna Yusuf is so excited for the weekend: her brother Muhammad’s getting married, and she’s reuniting with her mom, whom she’s missed the whole summer.
And Nuah’s arriving for the weekend too. Sweet, constant Nuah. The last time she saw him, Janna wasn’t ready to reciprocate his feelings for her. But things are different now. She’s finished high school, ready for college…and ready for Nuah. It’s time for Janna’s (carefully planned) summer of love to begin—starting right at the wedding.
But it wouldn’t be a wedding if everything went according to plan. Muhammad’s party choices aren’t in line with his fiancée’s taste at all, Janna’s dad is acting strange, and her mom is spending more time with an old friend (and maybe love interest?) than Janna. And Nuah’s treating her differently.
Just when things couldn’t get more complicated, two newcomers—the dreamy Haytham and brooding Layth—have Janna more confused than ever about what her misfit heart really wants. Janna’s summer of love is turning out to be super crowded and painfully unpredictable.

The Pandemic Prescription: Restoring Hope from the Qur'an, Sunnah and Science by Saeed Madiha
We tend to live our life worried, fearful, anxious and stressed. We are always seeking ways to be in control, yet the reality is that we can’t control the future and we can’t change the past. We can, however, control ourselves. Allah (SWT) has given us the chance to change what is within us. The current pandemic has forced us to change our lifestyle, our pace of life and this is the time when we should truly reflect. Think about what we can change, how we can improve and what we can control – our everyday decisions and actions.
It’s time to empower ourselves by strengthening our bodies, our minds and our hearts, thereby strengthening our immune systems and increasing our resilience – and the secret to optimal health and resilience lies in the Qur’an and Sunnah! SubhanAllah!
