‘A powerful celebration of common humanity and compassion . . . deserves to be read widely by people of all faiths and none’ – Sunday Times
In a series of personal and insightful letters to his sons, Omar Saif Ghobash offers a vital manifesto that tackles the dilemmas facing not only young Muslims but everyone navigating the complexities of today’s world.
Full of wisdom and thoughtful reflections on faith, culture, and society. This is a courageous and essential book that celebrates individuality whilst recognizing it is our shared humanity that brings us together.
Written with the experience of a diplomat and the personal responsibility of a father; Ghobash’s letters offer understanding and balance in a world that rarely offers any. An intimate and hopeful glimpse into a sphere many are unfamiliar with; it provides an understanding of the everyday struggles Muslims face around the globe.
