Whose footsteps are you following in?

“I didn’t want the journey to end. It was an easy read and no doubt you could read this in one sitting but I didn’t want to do that. I took my time often reading only one reflection in a day. The reflections were deep, thought-provoking, and vulnerable. As I read, the same question kept coming back to me, ‘whose footsteps am I following in?’ … I appreciate Husain for inviting us into his thoughts, his life, and even into his heart. I’m thankful for him writing this, for going on the Hijrah journey and for taking us along on the journey that changed human history.”

Truly inspiring read

“Mashallah amazing read!! Husain does a beautiful job of blending Islamic history with personal reflection. He brings the Hijrah to life in a way that feels relevant and grounding, not distant or academic. The reflections are thoughtful and easy to sit with, often prompting pauses for self reflection rather than rushing through pages. … It’s truly a meaningful read for anyone seeking spiritual depth.”

The book opened my heart, my mind, and my eyes

“What a great book, inspiring, insightful, very simple and clear to follow. The book made me understand the journey, the intentions of the heart ‘For The Sake of Allah’. I felt as though I was with the group of Muslim believers traveling every step of the way. … I have sent 2 copies to people in prison and told others about this book.”

Reading, reflecting, remembering

Truly inspiring

“The Hijrah is so inspiring and also one of the most important historical events in Islam. This read is also inspiring. The reflections are so relatable to the reader as one feels part of the journey with Husain and his companions. The hospitality they received on their way shouldn’t be surprising to any Muslim or anyone who has ever spent time in Muslim lands but each encounter was extremely touching to read.”

Why Reader Reflections Matter

Mecca to Medina is a book about a shared journey — and every reader walks it differently. A college student facing a move, a parent navigating loss, an athlete in the middle of a comeback: each finds a different reflection speaking directly to them. Collecting those responses continues the spirit of the book itself: one journey, one hundred lessons, countless travelers.
