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.”

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.”
