Abstract

Aboulela's Halal fiction effectively challenges the misinterpretation and misrepresentation of Islam and Muslims, with a particular focus on women, within the context of postcolonial immigrant narratives. Through her works, such as The Translator (1999) and Minaret (2005), Aboulela critically examines the portrayal of Muslims in Western societies and the dynamics of self and Other within the Scottish-Sudanese author's perspective. This study delves into the exploration of hybrid identity and its connection to Islamic beliefs through the journeys of Aboulela's protagonists, who find themselves disoriented in the diaspora. It is through embracing their Islamic faith and adhering to its moral principles that these characters are able to rediscover their true identities and attain salvation.
