Our story
Written by a convert.
The Muslim Comeback is the work of Maëva Marso. She wrote the books she wished she had when she converted.
Maëva's path
Assalamu alaikum, I'm Maëva.
I'm 20 years old. I grew up with two languages, French and German, and later added English, Spanish and Arabic.
In 2023 I was searching for the meaning of life. That search led me to Islam, and I became Muslim.
What came next was harder than I expected. The hardest part of my first year was the relationship with my parents. For them, my decision was a shock, because Islam is still something unfamiliar, especially here in the West. At first it was hard for both of them. My mother accepted it sooner because she had already had several points of contact with it. Today, she is very supportive of me.
This year I'm finishing my degree in social work. Alongside it, I study Islam at a madrasah in Pakistan. I'm not a scholar, and I don't pretend to be one. I'm a convert who is still learning – just like you.
Right after my conversion I realised that many others face the same problems, or even harder ones. Because of everything I went through, I started writing – to give something back to the Ummah.
In that first year I wished for books that explain the basics calmly and in plain words, and for a book I could simply hand to my parents. Those are the books I write today.

Why these books
The books I wish I had.
I wrote the books I wished I had when I converted. That is the idea behind every title: a book for the first steps as a new Muslim, a book for parents whose child has converted, a planner for growing step by step, the 99 Names of Allah, and a colouring book for quiet moments.
Every book is available as an e-book in English, German and French, and as a paperback on Amazon.
