==Early life==
Nomani was born in Bombay (now Mumbai), India. When she was four years old, she and her older brother moved to the United States to join their parents in New Brunswick, New Jersey. There her father, Zafar Nomani, was earning a Ph.D. at Rutgers University. When Nomani was 10 her family moved to Morgantown, West Virginia, where her father became an assistant professor of nutrition. Her father (cited as M.Z.A. Nomani) published studies on the health effects of Ramadan fasting, and also helped organize mosques in both New Jersey and West Virginia. In her books ''Tantrika'' and ''Standing Alone in Mecca'', Nomani states that she is descended from Indian Muslim scholar Mawlana Shibli Nomani, known for writing a biography of Muhammad, but this is disputed in a letter to Pakistan's Dawn newspaper from a writer who identified herself as speaking for descendants of Mawlana Shibli.〔(Asra Nomani no kin of Allama Shibli ). By Momna Sohail Sultan, Dawn (newspaper), April 22, 2005〕 Nomani received her B.A. in Liberal Studies from West Virginia University in 1986 and M.A. from American University in International Communications in 1990.
