She was born in Detroit, MI (1976) and is the daughter of Palestinian immigrants.

In September 2018, The New York Times reported that Tlaib walked into her family's mosque to express her gratitude for the opportunity to run for Congress by saying "Today I was being thankful, embracing how incredibly blessed I am to grow up here, to have this tremendous opportunity...Sometimes I say ‘Thank her’ because my Allah is She.”

The Detroit Free Press reported that, although she recognizes that some in her faith community consider her not "Muslim enough", she believes that "Allah understands" and "knows that I am giving back and doing things that I think are reflective of Islam”.
