“Every Muslim, young and old, will be touched by Karim's Ramadan journey of redemption.”

“I consider it a privilege to have been asked to help on The Butterfly and Me. Maryam's idea was sheer genius - to take an ancient parable and relocate it to a modern Islamic setting. His suggestions were enormously rich and helpful - a wartorn country, a village reduced to poverty, a man who, because of his grief, has cut himself off from his religion and all that is most important in life. The drama of this story sprang alive instantly. It was a real pleasure to help release the beauty of this narrative.”

“My friend lent me this book. She said, “This is the best book for Muslim readers I have ever read.” And it is. It will also work wonders for non Muslim readers. The story had me turning the pages, and occasionally brushing back a tear. It is a love story and a story about redemption. It is all about the power of Islam and the way repentance can change lives.”
