Newly minted Muslimah here! Thank you for posting this.

The site's structure and content both resonate for me. My experience of living in Granada, a historic center of al-Andalus, is of living in a palimpsest and experiencing all its layers in an ever-changing ripple. While my journey to Islam took a lifetime, moving to Granada was the final, gentle push I needed to profess the faith.
