Beautifully written and inspiring without proselytizing。 I listened to the audio version while driving around for work， now I will buy the print copy so I can use the meditations and reflections。 Thank you， A。 Helwa， for sharing your faith to inspire others。

When reviewing this book its important to consider that the target audience is Muslims， non-Muslims and irreligious people alike。 It is supposed to inspire the reader to cultivate a deeper and more meaningful relationship with God and religion。 If you're looking for an analytical and scholarly book on Islam this isn't for you。 I enjoyed how the author intends to inspire the reader rather than tell them what to do。 She explains the core beliefs and the pillars of the faith instead of dictating wh When reviewing this book its important to consider that the target audience is Muslims， non-Muslims and irreligious people alike。 It is supposed to inspire the reader to cultivate a deeper and more meaningful relationship with God and religion。 If you're looking for an analytical and scholarly book on Islam this isn't for you。 I enjoyed how the author intends to inspire the reader rather than tell them what to do。 She explains the core beliefs and the pillars of the faith instead of dictating what to believe in with no understanding at all。 The reflection exercises at the end of each chapter are also helpful in this way。 The first two chapters addressing the questions of "Who is God？" and "Who are you？" and the final chapter on the "Mysteries of Heaven and Hell" were the most engaging for me。All of this being said， I didn't learn much that was new especially the middle chapters about the five pillars。 I ended up flipping pages through chunks of the book because it is basic information that any Muslim already knows and also becomes very repetitive as it progresses。 I can appreciate the intentions behind this book but it didn't give me the full impact I was expecting。 。。。more

2。5/5。Like most who already pointed this out， this book got some aqidah issues。I feel like there's a specific audience that the author was targetting; also got that 'apologetic' vibe as though she's appealing to Western and non-Muslim readers。Only love but no fear（？） towards Allah kinda concept so she struggled to explain the firm， no-nonsense principles in Islam。This book would be great for those who feels lost & broken， seeking to affirm His love but word of advice; beware of being too intoxic 2。5/5。Like most who already pointed this out， this book got some aqidah issues。I feel like there's a specific audience that the author was targetting; also got that 'apologetic' vibe as though she's appealing to Western and non-Muslim readers。Only love but no fear（？） towards Allah kinda concept so she struggled to explain the firm， no-nonsense principles in Islam。This book would be great for those who feels lost & broken， seeking to affirm His love but word of advice; beware of being too intoxicated。 。。。more

You may have read a lot of books about Islam。 But this one is different。 I read it slowly， a chapter at a time and spent more time putting it down， reflecting on what I had just read than just flicking through the evidences quickly。 Lots of quotes that stop you in your tracks。 The subject matter is beautiful and this book radiates beauty。

i dont think i’ll purchase/read another A。 Helwa writings anymore。 While admittedly there are a lot of beautiful and instagrammable quotes here， i find the language Helwa used is way too flowery， repetitive， and much of it sounds like opinions of her own。 it also bugs me that she only ever refers to Saidina Ali， and completely ignored the rest of the Wives and Companions of the Prophet， which is where the rumor of Helwa being a Shi’a stems from。I do appreciate the du’a at the end of every chapte i dont think i’ll purchase/read another A。 Helwa writings anymore。 While admittedly there are a lot of beautiful and instagrammable quotes here， i find the language Helwa used is way too flowery， repetitive， and much of it sounds like opinions of her own。 it also bugs me that she only ever refers to Saidina Ali， and completely ignored the rest of the Wives and Companions of the Prophet， which is where the rumor of Helwa being a Shi’a stems from。I do appreciate the du’a at the end of every chapters， though。 i love that bit。 。。。more
