Samenvatting:

This book is a collection of fifty bittersweet lessons that Umm Zakiyyah learned the hard way on her journey of life and love. She says, "These are lessons that I often had to learn and re-learn over and over-even after Allah had already gifted me with soul-nourishing, blessed solitude in my life." In this book, the "quiet part" includes personal truths she learned from two emotions that Muslim women are often shamed away from: joy and rage. She says, "Most of these truths were gleaned from lessons that 'the fire of experience' taught me-most especially after I chose to walk away from unhealthy relationships and circumstances that were no longer beneficial for my life or nourishing to my soul."
