Amazing book

An amazing book which is much needed in these times. It shows us how important it is to focus on the next live instead only focussing on this life. This book shows you the reality of this life and the reality of the afterlife

The book also has a beautiful design, which makes reading the book very easy.

I would highly recommend this book.

Awakening kitab!

Upon reading the first page, it felt as though a veil had been lifted before my eyes subhanAllah and I could clearly see the reality of life for what it was, not the foggy delusion I was used to. This kitab is a highly motivating, thought capturing compilation of just over a thousand narrations to purify the heart, remind the believer of their purpose, teach perfection in worship and many more relevant topics for the believer who seeks a path to his Lord. The Kitab itself is very simple, narrations are numbered, laid out in an easy to read manner with translation beneath. The beauty is abundant in the content throughout and upon reflection of the reader. It鈥檚 one of those books where you can open up to any page and read the most heart-warming words. Highly recommend for anyone whose worship lacks depth, have left off taking care of the soul or have lost direction and meaning to life.

Fabulously written & deep & insightful

Brilliant read, an absolute must for this day & age where consumerism dictates our lives, freindships & priorities. Brilliantly articulates how you should strive to remove worldly distractions away from your life & focus on Allah swt
