About this listen

In a series of personal letters to his sons, Omar Saif Ghobash offers a short and highly digestible manifesto that tackles our current global crisis with the training of an experienced diplomat and the personal responsibility of a father.

Today's young Muslims will be tomorrow's leaders, and yet too many are vulnerable to extremist propaganda that seems omnipresent in our technological age. The burning question, Ghobash argues, is how moderate Muslims can unite to find a voice that is true to Islam while actively and productively engaging in the modern world. What does it mean to be a good Muslim? What is the concept of a good life? And is it acceptable to stand up and openly condemn those who take the Islamic faith and twist it to suit their own misguided political agendas?

In taking a hard look at these seemingly simple questions, Ghobash encourages his sons to face issues others insist are not relevant, not applicable, or maybe even Islamophobic. These letters serve as a clear-eyed inspiration for the next generation of Muslims to understand how to be faithful to their religion and still navigate through the complexities of today's world. They also reveal an intimate glimpse into a world many are unfamiliar with and offer to provide an understanding of the everyday struggles Muslims face around the globe.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

I've read this book through twice and have recommended it on to many friends. I truly feel that it has helped me organise some of my thoughts, worries and doubts regarding being a young Muslim in the 21st century and living in the West. Listening to Mr Ghobaish's voice giving me calm and thought-through advice has been akin to receiving pearls of wisdom from a loving relative - one who had already experienced so much and wants to spare you some of the difficulties they themselves faced and thus give you a headstart in life. I think it is wise to critically analyse our communities and take a good, long look at ourselves before pointing the finger at others. Thank you very much.
