Secrets of a Muslim Heart (A Journey into Spiritual Awakening) is a collection of poems and essays by South African poet Tazmin Mahomed, that centre around her experiences of being a Muslim woman living in a western society.

This collection of work charts her remarkable personal journey to find and assume her true Muslim identity. Through this journey of self-discovery, she is led to discovering a renewed purpose to life and a deeper relationship with her Creator, an experience the writer describes herself as “my awakening from a worldly slumber”.

Secrets of a Muslim Heart speaks to everyone seeking change or inspiration to find a deeper meaning to their lives and reveals the hidden wisdom that lies within the process of ‘going into scarf’. It is an important contemporary book on Muslim spirituality, and addresses many of the issues and challenges facing Muslim women today.
