Letters to a Young Muslim

About this book

The UAE ambassador to Russia sharesĀ a bold and intimate exploration of what it means to be Muslim in the 21st century.
In a series of personal letters to his sons, Omar Saif Ghobash tackles the dilemmas facing not only young Muslims but everyone navigating the complexities of today's world. Full of thoughtful reflections on faith, culture and society, Letters to a Young Muslim is a courageous manifesto that celebrates individuality while recognizing our shared humanity.
Combining the worldly experience of a diplomat and the personal responsibility of a father, Ghobash stresses the importance of empathy and critical thinking. With an intimate and hopeful glimpse into a world many are unfamiliar with, this book sheds light on the everyday struggles of Muslims around the globe.
