Abstract
This study offers a critical examination of the portrayal of Muslims in Western culture and delves into the dynamics of ’self and other’ in Scottish- Sudanese author Leila Aboulela’s works: The Translator (1999), Minaret (2005) and ”The Museum” (1999). The study explores Aboulela’s fiction through a postcolonial lens and an Islamic feminist approach. Aboulela’s fiction rebels against the stereotypical representation of Arabs and Muslims, with a particular emphasis on women. She explores the intricate and multifaceted dimensions of cultural differences and commonalities among individuals originating from Eastern and Western backgrounds, as they find themselves resettled in various corners of the world. The study delves into the concept of hybrid identities shaped by Islamic beliefs as experienced by Aboulela’s protagonists, who navigate the challenges of diaspora. Moreover, it underscores that these characters discover their true identities and a sense of redemption when they align themselves with Islamic faith and morality.
