A Test of a Young Girl's Faith
Barakah Beats is the debut novel of author Maleeha Siddiqui. It is the story of Nimra, a 12-year-old Pakistani Muslim who is transitioning from a private Islamic school to an American public school. It deals with many traditional problems children starting middle school face—self-esteem, fitting in, and making friends. What adds an extra layer of tension to this novel is the religious aspect. Nimra memorized the Qur'an at her private school and wants to maintain her Muslim identity while also fitting into her new school.
Nimra has previously had a friendship with Jenna, an American girl she thought was her close friend. Jenna seems to treat Nimra differently at school, and Nimra decides she wants to find a way to earn back Jenna's friendship. Some eighth-grade Muslim boys at her school have a music group called Barakah Beats. They befriend Nimra after they discover she is a talented singer. Nimra becomes a celebrity around campus, and Jenna suddenly wants to be friends with her again. One of the interesting dilemmas Nimra faces is that she's not sure her family will approve of her interest in music. While Nimra likes the boys and the attention she gets from Jenna and her friends, her real passion is drawing and becoming an artist. Nimra is not forthcoming and honest with the boy and her parents, and her guilt becomes too much to manage.
I enjoyed the read and empathized with Nimra's difficult situation wanting to fit in. Siddiqui's book raises interesting questions about how challenging it can be for children with other ethnic, cultural, and religious differences to find their place in American society while maintaining their identity.

muslim girl joins boy band
Format: Hardcover
I got this book for my daughter to read, her review is what follows:
Barakah beats is the perfect book for any Muslim in middle or high school to read. I felt connected to the story not many have been able to reach. She goes through what I felt as a Muslim in school, journey is like viewing my experiences through the eyes of someone else. Namira Sharif joins up with a boy band through an unexpected invitation to join them. This is where I feel she finds more about her own beliefs, some Muslims believe music is haram and others believe it the opposite. She finds her own opinions based on her journey, she makes difficult decisions and new friends as the outcome. Overall this book is an excellent read and I don't really have many complaints about it. I don't have much to compare it to since there aren't a lot of books published with Muslims portrayed in such a way. A When Barakah Beat was given to me I nearly jumped for joy seeing a new book written by a Muslim author. Namira does not run from her faith but always tries to remember it, even when she joins the band to win her best friend back. The book hits all the markers when talking about personal values, beliefs, family, and culture, a sweet and relatable read for anyone Muslim girl with a middle school experience. Be warned though once you start you won't be able to stop till you realize you're staring at the back of the book and there are no more words to read.

Joyful!
Format: Hardcover
This book is joyful and I loved the authentic Muslim character and the peace and melody she finds in the Quran. I haven't read a character who does hifz before so that was interesting for me! The story is fast paced and flows beautifully! I loved the friendship of her characters and especially when Jenna asks Nimra if she's going to wear her hijab to school! I love how Nimra owns it. I also connected to the worried parents. So real! I also loved how Nimra prays in school. I loved the family dynamic, the internal dilemma of Nimra, and how she stays true to herself when it comes to music and Quran.
I can't wait to read more stories from this talented author! Also this cover makes me so happy!

Cute Book
Format: Hardcover
I received a copy of this book through the Amazon Vine program in exchange for an honest review.
This is a cute book!
It's a short, sweet, and easy to read book.
We follow Nimra as she starts middle school at a public school for the first time. She grapples with balancing her religious beliefs with her love of art and music. She also has to figure out friendships and how to not compromise on your beliefs. While Nimra talks about praying and wearing a hijab there isn't a whole lot about Islam in this book, but some context is there for anyone unfamiliar with the practice to understand why Nimra does certain things.
It's a cute middle-grade book that tackles lying, hiding things from family, making and keeping friendships, and other familiar experiences.
