Born with Wings is a powerful, moving, and eye-opening account of my spiritual journey—of self-actualization and success in opening doors for other Muslim women and building bridges between cultures. It powerfully demonstrates what one woman can do —with faith, love, and resilience.

“Khan mixes her personal experience with the public hounding she received by fanatics. Her wisdom, her journey, and her knowledge of the scriptures brings out the best in her religion with concrete ways to respond to the lies and misinterpretations perpetrated by hijackers of her faith….”

“Delightful memoir and also gives a very different picture of Muslims than the world of Fox News!.....Khan gives a completely different perspective which, while not representative of the complete spectrum of Muslims, is shared by many. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about Muslims….”

“If you have a fragmented picture of Muslim women, Daisy Khan’s memoir is a must-read. Not only does she describe her own interesting life, she tackles the serious problems faced by many Muslim women throughout the world, such as acid attacks, child marriages, genital mutilation, IRIS recruiters, etc. Moreover, she repeatedly offers proof that the Quran does not encourage violence against women, including wives, or anyone else. It’s all in the interpretation or misinterpretation, according to Ms. Khan….”

“Personal story that celebrates her faith, while showing the commonalities among the three grand Abrahamic traditions. This book helps the novice reader appreciate the cultural, political and religious diversity of Muslims, who comprise 25% of the world population and live on several continents……. Khan’s book is a great example of how the personal is political and the political is personal. Her personal journey is also universal. I enjoyed reading about her interactions with people from a variety of faiths, social classes, and cultures.”

“She chronicles the hardships of dealing with the fallout after 9/11, as well as more recent crimes and crises. And she raises numerous important issues, and how the battle for women's rights in Islam can tie to other women's issues of all faiths. In fact, the backbone of religious tolerance and cooperation pervades the entire book”

An informative read about a Muslim woman who has tried to bring peace among faiths and expose Islam for its truest essence, and not the violence it's usually associated with.

"Born With Wings" was insightful and held my interest throughout. Daisy Khan is a strong, independent woman who is firmly committed to her Muslim faith…. important book for working through the labyrinth of confusion and confusion about ordinary Islamic life that exists today. It contains many personal stories of other women who sought her guidance and is very enlightening.”

“Daisy Khan gives us a glimpse into the issues that Muslim Women face when they are living in a Western Culture, one that doesn't understand their faith or lifestyle or native culture….. the message is an important one for us to read and try to understand. I think that in our society today when we talk about inclusion and acceptance we need to do our best to understand how others feel….. I hope you will learn some good lessons from this read and then learn to interact well with people of a different culture who happen to live in your town.”

“Ms. Khan’s spiritual journey made me reconsider how to approach my own faith and spiritual nature. As the daughter of a Muslim and a Catholic, I grew up surrounded by religion everywhere except inside myself. This memoir redefined, for me, what it means to have faith. This book will give you a new appreciation for the beauty around you as well as the strength of the human spirit to adjust to change and tribulation.”

A spiritually awakening memoir of a Muslim woman who has contributed immensely to the understanding of Islam and bridging the gap between the modern world and the misunderstandings surrounding the Islamic faith. I was very moved and touched by her words and journey and was inspired to commence my own spiritual journey. The book touches on major issues such as terrorism, the status of women and the search for knowledge. I loved how women came together to fight for a common cause and establish a positive presence in the world
