I'm Rosemarie Valente, a revert sister and the author behind MUNEERA. For as long as I can remember, something felt missing in my life. My journey to Islam began when one of my sons told me he wanted to become Muslim — I told him to research first, so I began learning alongside him, and as I learned, it all clicked. I'm grateful Allah chose my children and me for this deen. Muneera means "the luminous one" — finding Islam felt like coming into the light. I wrote this guide for sisters learning as they go, the way I was.
