About This Book:

In The Muslim Mother, Mariya bint Rehan offers an incisive and deeply reflective collection of essays that explore what it means to mother as a visibly Muslim woman in the twenty-first century. Drawing on her experience as a policy researcher, writer, illustrator, and mother of three, she examines the complex interplay of personal identity, digital realities, and political pressures shaping contemporary the muslim mother. From the constant gaze of social media and the anxieties of judgment—both within and outside Muslim communities—to political narratives that frame the muslim mother and children as threats (such as Lord Pearson’s “womb politics” rhetoric), the muslim mother digs into the unseen burdens and contradictions mothers carry today
