In Becoming Muslim, The Spiritual Edge explores the motivations and challenges of converts as they carve out a uniquely American path for being Muslim in the United States. The program draws intimate portraits through thoughtful and conversational journalism that allows real voices to come through. Host Hana Baba, of Sudanese-Muslim background, walks us through these stories about the joys and challenges of what happens to four people after their conversion to Islam. Listeners will have a chance to learn about the Islam embraced by these new converts, which counters the usual narrative presented in the media.
