The Bowing of The Stars

Mehded Maryam Sinclair, an award-winning author and storyteller who reverted to Islam over forty years ago, brings her mastery of Qurʾānic storytelling to this latest work. Known for uncovering the hidden treasures of the Arabic language with the support of scholars of Qurʾānic interpretation, Sinclair has perfected the art of making traditional materials captivating for both young and old.

The Bowing of the Stars retells one of the most beloved stories revealed to Prophet Muḥammad (blessings and peace be upon him) during the year of sadness. The author highlights numerous secrets and remedies for broken hearts, souls and activists that lie in this timeless narrative. For Sinclair, the story reflects the fate of those who embody faith, sincerity, patience, good character and optimism. However, it is also instructive against hedonism, nihilism and Satanism.
