We are dealing with the work of a contemporary Andalusian Muslim who gives an account of his conversion and its implications. It reflects a particular understanding of Islam, which rejects all dogmatism in order to bring revelation and intimacy with the divine to the fore. The autobiographical elements provide the basis for addressing current issues: relations with Christianity, the tension between Islam and modernity, the need for Islamic feminism, the relevance of Sufism and the conflict with traditionalism. The author tells us about his experiences with drugs and his passion for music and poetry as a prelude to his conversion. This radically personal and iconoclastic work, which oscillates between idealization and disillusionment, allows us to glimpse the difficulties and richness of the experience of Islam in the context of a modern society.
