Excerpt from the book
Charlotte memorized her first juzu’ just by listening to the verses over and over again. “Of course I had to go back and learn the alphabet after that, but it was beautiful to me. I loved it so much. From the beginning, it spoke to my heart.” After memorizing her first pages without any knowledge of Arabic letters, and only through initiation of the sounds, Charlotte began to find ways to learn how to read, or at least phonetically decode, the Quran in Arabic. “It was very difficult back then, of course, being a black woman and trying to learn Quran. “There were no females to teach me, so even with the alphabet I had to just get as much as I could from wherever I could, speaking to different Arab sisters and asking them, ‘Well, how do you say this letter?’ Or ‘How do you say this? Say this line for me.”
