AREWA HEARTS & HALAL LOVE cover

About this chapbook

Dive into a sweet and intimate collection of love stories that explore the tender juxtaposition between faith, tradition, and contemporary romance for young Muslim women in the North. Maymunatu Bukar extends an honest glimpse into Arewa relationships, navigating proposals based on respect for elders, the beauty found in modesty and destiny, and the painful space that opens in a modern marriage when communication breaks down. These tales are to a striking degree, revolutionary, showcasing the hopes, desires, and challenges of seeking and sustaining halal love in a world often focused on fleeting convenience, reminding us that even the simplest connections require soulful faith and patience.
