Salaam folks and thank you Z for coming up with the idea of a book club and creating this forum!
I joined because I know nothing and want to learn more about my religion, Islam. I figured that reading a book while engaging with inquisitive minds in a forum might just push me to learn more and in doing so, better myself (God-willing). Also, perhaps it'll help me get back into the habit of picking up and reading books! It's been ages...
About me: married software tester from the DC area who loves outdoors activities and tends to rant in conversations. I welcome any books that offer gems of Islamic knowledge that I can grasp and practically apply in life. I also have a strong interest in learning from any kind of history.

Assalam-u-Alaikum
1. Nimra 2. I graduated with my bachelor's in liberal arts in 2014. Plan to do a Master's in Occupational Therapy. 3. Utilizing this gap year to gain more knowledge about Quran and Hadith 4. Quran Weekly lectures on YouTube are so helpful in understanding tafseer of Quran. These days I am listening to "The Quran is "Hakeem" (Surah Yasin) - Nouman Ali Khan - Part 1" - . I believe these series of lectures will benefit newly converts to Islam too.

I'm a big fan of poetry and would be open to reading the works of Hafiz, Rumi, etc.
