About this listen

 A searing portrait of Muslim life in the West, this “profound and intimate” memoir captures one man’s struggle to forge an American Muslim identity (Washington Post)

Haroon Moghul was thrust into the spotlight after 9/11, becoming an undergraduate leader at New York University’s Islamic Center forced into appearances everywhere: on TV, before interfaith audiences, in print. Moghul was becoming a prominent voice for American Muslims even as he struggled with his relationship to Islam. In high school he was barely a believer and entirely convinced he was going to hell. He sometimes drank. He didn’t pray regularly. All he wanted was a girlfriend.

But as he discovered, it wasn’t so easy to leave religion behind. To be true to himself, he needed to forge a unique American Muslim identity that reflected his beliefs and personality. How to Be a Muslim reveals a young man coping with the crushing pressure of a world that fears Muslims, struggling with his faith and searching for intellectual forebears, and suffering the onset of bipolar disorder. This is the story of the second-generation immigrant, of what it’s like to lose yourself between cultures and how to pick up the pieces. Islam Middle East Middle Ages

It was curious and appealing to look into another Muslim's life and experiences, in this case an American Pakistani Muslim's memoir. This was a fine audiobook. The narrator, Kamran Khan was top notch, well spoken and eloquent. Haroon Moghul portrays a unique Muslim individual who has virtues and has his own demons as well.As a British Bangladeshi Muslim I am always interested in other Muslim's anecdotes which stimulate discussion. This would pertain from moderate and non-extremist views. This would also include an acknowledgement of other people's faiths and viewpoints as well as not being insular. More Muslim Memoirs, please.

Interesting and Insightful look into a Muslim
