Although Mumtaz sometimes wishes her daughter were more conventionally observant, she sticks by her—even in the face of opposition from members of her mosque. When Irshad's book was published, her mother found out that her imam planned on making it the subject of a four-sermon series, beginning on the last Sunday of Ramadan, when the mosque would be filled with people. Although she knew she would face gossip, Mumtaz attended anyway. "Until this day, there are so many people who don't talk to me," Mumtaz says. "But who cares? My daughter comes first." Even when beliefs clash, love and loyalty endure.
