At first, I want to write this simple yet "moving" paragraph for this review:I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO WRITE。 THIS BOOK WAS JUST TOO GOOD AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH AND IT HURTS ME THAT I DIDN'T OWN THE PHYSICAL COPY OF THIS BOOK YET。 But, I was trying to contained my self and regain my dignity and they didn't do its justice towards this book, so I tried to write it as professional as I can :) "Allah does not need you to be perfect。 Allah needs you to be actively acknowledging and working on your At first, I want to write this simple yet "moving" paragraph for this review:I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO WRITE。 THIS BOOK WAS JUST TOO GOOD AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH AND IT HURTS ME THAT I DIDN'T OWN THE PHYSICAL COPY OF THIS BOOK YET。 But, I was trying to contained my self and regain my dignity and they didn't do its justice towards this book, so I tried to write it as professional as I can :) "Allah does not need you to be perfect。 Allah needs you to be actively acknowledging and working on your imperfections" In short, this book was kinda like pocket book and that 101 manual about repentance or most of us called as taubah。 Despite its shortness, this book was so great。 It was well written, There are many reference like hadist and surah, also some sheerah here and there, it was compact yet comprehensive。 I love a short yet comprehensive book, especially if that particular book was a non-fiction one。I kinda feel pressured writing this because there are many things that I want to include here but I love how compassionate his writing is eventhough the topic itself was kinda deep and sensitive because our relationship with Allah was that personal, but then the flow this book hold was great and I didn't feel attacked or preached whatsoever。 It was so elegant。What I love the most about this book was the flow and the sequence it had。 Before we get into the term repentance or taubah, we are guided to sync our perspective about how we see in our relationship with Allah and what our goal in this life is。 I love the part when Omar Suleiman says to make our relationship with Allah as a personal thing that hold very dear and very special in our heart, not just seeing it as "transactional"。 This opened my eyes and I feel really grateful to stumble on this book and read that certain part。There are many other interesting topic that we could get in this book as well。 But I feel that after I finished reading this book, I feel anew。 Like I was pressing my restart button and start to do what I could do to "mend" and focusing on my own relationship with Allah。The last thing I want to say is, this book also specifically point out the balance that we must take into account between "don't be scared to ask forgiveness despite how big the sins was" and also "don't take small sin as lightly as you think" So we were reminded again and again with how kind and how compassionate Allah is but in other sides we also couldn't use that to defend all of our sins that we've made。 "Hope and fear have to go together。 Because hope without fear becomes delusions and fear without hope becomes despair" If you want to read a book about taubah and the relationship that we had with Allah, pick this and I hope you could enjoyed it as much as I do。 。。。more

Best book I've read this year。This book will make you cry。 You will realize how merciful Allah (glorified and exalted is He) is, He is the Forgiver of sins, the Ever-Forgiving。 “Turning back to Allah (glorified and exalted is He) might feel like something that causes us shame, because we have to admit that we are at fault。 Many of us have felt disheartened because we messed up, we messed up too many times to count, maybe we messed up in the worst of ways, and this brings us feelings of shame and Best book I've read this year。This book will make you cry。 You will realize how merciful Allah (glorified and exalted is He) is, He is the Forgiver of sins, the Ever-Forgiving。 “Turning back to Allah (glorified and exalted is He) might feel like something that causes us shame, because we have to admit that we are at fault。 Many of us have felt disheartened because we messed up, we messed up too many times to count, maybe we messed up in the worst of ways, and this brings us feelings of shame and unworthiness。 Then Allah (glorified and exalted is He) reminds us that He is Al-Ghāfur more than ninety times in the Qur'an。 Al-Ghāfur is the One who forgives over and over and over again。 No matter how many sins, or even the type of sin you have committed, Allah (glorified and exalted is He) will cover and protect you from them if you seek His forgiveness and do sincere taubah。” - Dr。 Jinan YousefIn this book, ustadz Omar Suleiman describes what is taubah (repentance) means, what is the goal of the taubah, how to build a personal relationship with Allah (glorified and exalted is He), the station of repentance, minor and major sins, how you get rid of your bad habits and do the good deeds instead, how to keep purifying yourself, and many more。Best quotes from this book :Taubah is the process。 What other thing in the world - especially of importance - gives you the outcome based upon the process? What other thing that Allah (glorified and exalted is He) guarantees you success in return for you being engaged in a process? Not necessarily for the outcome of the process。Do not treat your religion as risk and reward, or as good deeds and bad deeds, or as just a transaction of Jannah and Hellfire。 Your religion is a personal relationship between you and your Creator who did not give you a reason to disobey Him。 He did not give you any reason to run to anyone else or anything else for support or care when He was there for you the entire time。 Make your religion a personal thing between you and Allah (glorified and exalted is He)。You are dealing with Ar-Rahman Ar-Raheem; you are dealing with the Most Compassion, the Most Merciful who gave you existence and life and who wants to see you succeed。 You cannot understand taubah without understanding this matter。Ibn Al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) was saying that it is strange that although haram does not make you happy, you insist on it。 The prohibition is not giving you a sense of happiness, yet you go on with it。Therefore, the goal is to get to that point where I am not just no longer committing the evil, but I have busied myself with good。 。。。more

"The greater the sin in the sight of the servant, the smaller the sin in the sight of Allah。 The smaller the sin in the sight of the servant, the greater the sin in the sight of Allah。" - Repentance: Breaking the Habit of Sin by Omar SuleimanOmar Suleiman's content is always concise, clear and comprehensive。 That was how I felt while reading this book。 The content of this book is spread evenly through short, bite-sized chapters, interwoven with verses of the Quran and hadith and engaging stories "The greater the sin in the sight of the servant, the smaller the sin in the sight of Allah。 The smaller the sin in the sight of the servant, the greater the sin in the sight of Allah。" - Repentance: Breaking the Habit of Sin by Omar SuleimanOmar Suleiman's content is always concise, clear and comprehensive。 That was how I felt while reading this book。 The content of this book is spread evenly through short, bite-sized chapters, interwoven with verses of the Quran and hadith and engaging stories of the Prophet and the Sahabah。Repentance is a subject that will always hover around us, for we are only mere mortals who sin and transgress every single day。 Yet what Omar Suleiman emphasises in this book is the practice of leaving our habits behind with constant remembrance of Allah。 Of dhikr, of rembering His mercy, of fesring His punishment while praying and hoping for His forgiveness。 I especially liked the chapter on adopting a "game plan", where the reader will learn about the ways to leave a sin, and to commit fully to constantly turn back to repentance even if he falls short。 This is definitely a book that I would return to as a resourceful guide。 。。。more

I have to say that this has to be one of my favorite book among those I have read throughout my life。 Imam Omar delivered this in such kind and encouraging manner, reminding us how the mercy of Allah is definitely much greater than His wrath。 This is, for me, similar to like a breath of fresh air。 One more thing that I like about this book is its simple and short, easy to understand choice of words, even for someone who's their first language is not english。 I have to say that this has to be one of my favorite book among those I have read throughout my life。 Imam Omar delivered this in such kind and encouraging manner, reminding us how the mercy of Allah is definitely much greater than His wrath。 This is, for me, similar to like a breath of fresh air。 One more thing that I like about this book is its simple and short, easy to understand choice of words, even for someone who's their first language is not english。 。。。more

Everything about this book just hits me on the feels。 Every advice on how to abandon a sin and still hope for Allah’s mercy is so practical (not theoretical) that you could really think you can do it。 Mashā Allah。 May Allah bless you Sir Omar Suleiman。 I so recommend this book。 ❤️
