I’m about to start the 2nd one ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars The Spark that Lit the Flame *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2016* I've always wanted to read this book.I've wished and wished for it, and then - voila! - I got it!And what I've got to say is, no novel changed my life more than this. I've had this book for about 1 year, and its simplicity touches me, its reminders of new Muslims with such gratitude to God, compared to a born Muslim like me who always had Islam, pricks my conscience. I've read Yahya Emerick, I've read Muhammad Asad - I've read a lot, but this book was different.I enjoyed and cherish it because of what it made me proud of.I'm a Muslim woman, I wear hijab and I'm proud of it, I recite Qur'an and I study my religion, and I'm proud of it - but this book made me prouder of it. It made me realize how precious my religion is to me. It told me what others feel when they hear about my religion. It explained how others react, what they think, how my religion is talked about - all in this one book.Tamika is your average American, with a messy past. Her father is gone, her sister and brother are gone, and she's burdened with her all her mother's hopes and dreams. All she's trying to focus on is finishing college, and along with that, to finish it with her head high. She's gonna show the world that she's a college graduate: Black, Christian, and determined . . . but she's got something holding her back.This isn't what she really wants. She wants to sing - just one thing she wants to do, but that's out of the question.When she meets a fellow colleague with the same troubles and same passion, she's thrilled. But along with the sweet comes the bitter, and she realizes that it's not just college and singing out there. There's something else - something deeper and more tender, more precious than all her songs and all her mother's dreams. Surely that should come first?But what with family burdens and expectations, Tamika is unsure: which will she choose, her soul or her mother's dreams?Umm Zakiyyah takes you through all her trials and tribulations, all her hopes and fears, until Tamika finally takes the ultimate decision - but it will take much more pain and heartache to get her so far. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A must read *by F***A on Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2012* The original reason why I bought If I Should Speak was that I heard that this book was currently being turned into a movie. Usually I rread the last page of the book and that would motivate me as to whether or not I would read the book. But from the first page, I was hooked and I found that some of the situations that the characters were going through related to me. Perhaps the character that made me the saddest was Dee. The choices she was making were both foolish and dangerous in nature to both her mind, body and spirit. I would encourage both Muslims and non-Muslims to read this book and I promise you this book will have you thinking about where you are truly going in your life. I cannot wait to read more books from the series and see what happens.  If I Should Speak --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/15107028-if-i-should-speak-a-novel-paperback-december-3-2001](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/15107028-if-i-should-speak-a-novel-paperback-december-3-2001) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-04-30*
