[Book Review] Hearts That Remember

Score: 4.65/5.00

*** 20:4

تَنزِيلًۭا مِّمَّنْ خَلَقَ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ ٱلْعُلَى ٤

˹It is˺ a revelation from the One Who created the earth and the high heavens—

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

The content is well-divided into a few parts: Introduction - The Journey of Our Hearts, Part 1 - The Internal Battles of Our Hearts, Part 2 - Safeguarding Peace During Life’s Battles, and Conclusion, which the author discusses embracing imperfections and compassion to ourselves, and finally, bring attention again to us the important, the sweetness of remembering Allah swt in all our affairs.

For quite some time now, I’ve been looking for books on Asmaul Husna that are neither too deep/technically nor too light/brief a.k.a, summary-ish. And, SubhanAllah, indeed if we keep seeking, He will show us the way. 

Long story short, in my early 20s, I attended a “majlis tahlil”, and one of the “souvenirs” I received was a small booklet that contained selected asmaul husna, their meanings, their uses, which day and how many times they are recommended for our daily zikr. This most likely was a cultural thing and not entirely sunnah. The content interested me so well, that I started to leisurely read more on the 99 Names of Allah, and fell in love with making it a habit to do supplications by calling Ya Rabb with His specific names.

A few months back I “met” this book, I was mind-blown. Wallahi, I was so touched by this “revelation”. I think the author and her team, did a brilliant job! It’s amazing that she’s incorporating Asmaul Husna in her prose & poetry, Allahumma Bariki!

The author, sister Sa’diyya has her own “difficulties” that she deals with on a daily basis, and her remembrance of Allah SWT, keeps her moving forward. Throughout the book, she shares her life experiences and serves them as examples right before she complements them with beautiful, heartfelt, consoling, encouraging poetries; highlighting the grandeur, and the “functions” of Beautiful Names.

The book taught us to rely only on Allah, yet always appreciate and show gratitude to the good people surrounding us. The book also taught us it is human to feel down and helpless, but embrace yourself, care for yourself better, look for Allah’s signs internally and externally, and try your best to have faith. Find strength in the remembrance of Allah. I pray that this book may heal more troubled souls as much as it inspires deeper enlightenment in our fellow readers.

To provide some perspective about the poems, they are simple yet heartfelt, just like “Love&Misadventures by Lang Leav. The messages are as impactful as many pieces in “ The Thoughts of Nanushka by Nan Witcomb”.

The only downside of this book is probably just a matter of preference. To me, some parts of the life narrations can be a little bit draggy and not interesting enough. Otherwise, it is an almost perfect book(for an Islamic contemporary book)!

Highly recommended! <3 <3 <3 20:8

ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ لَهُ ٱلْأَسْمَآءُ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ ٨

Allah—there is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him. He has the Most Beautiful Names.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran ***

It suddenly became clear to me that the whole purpose of faith is not to be “good enough” before we begin on the path to God, but to come with all our deficiencies to God, knowing that only He can fill in our gaps through His mercy. I realize now that what God calls us to do in His name is not based on our current ability, but on what is possible through our greatest God-given potential. When I turned from facing my limited capacity to facing the infinite greatness of God, my anxiety dissolved like clouds in the presence of His light.

Like the staff of Moses, this epiphany struck the Red Sea of fear within me, unveiling a path through the limitations I had created. In this moment, I was ready to be molded. I felt like clay in the hands of the Maker. I trusted that God would make a way for me— not because of who I am, but because of how merciful and loving He is.

[Book Review] The Prayer: Its Effect in Increasing Eeman and Purifying The Soul by Shaykh Husayn Al-Awaayishah

🧮 Score: 4.7/5.0

.

“Successful indeed are the believers. Those who offer their Prayers with humility and attentiveness.” - (Surah al-Mu’minoon 23:1-2)

■ Life fascinates us with its unknown twists and turns. Which may cause us to lose focus and aching with disillusionment and suffering. Let's liberate our hearts from worries, refine our Prayer(Salah) and elevate our faith(Eeman).

The author illustrates the importance and benefits of Salah with ample references from the Quran and Sunnah. He encourages us to reflect and compare our Salah with that of the Prophet (SAW) and his Companions (RA). Not only discusses the practices on an individual level, but he also highlights the functions of the society and family institutions in boosting our eeman as a Muslim and collectively as the Ummah.

■ In only about 112 pages, he conveyed the knowledge(Deen) without undermining common confusions/misunderstandings on cultural appropriations. It’s amazing how clear his words are. His writings are stern yet uplifting. He empathises, clarifies and reminds things with care and sincerity. I also appreciate the provided footnotes and glossary that validate the sources.

■ How should we turn, and widen our perspectives and attitudes towards the ideas/obligations? We must do self-reflections and embrace entirely these three gems; intentions, humility and attentiveness. Then only we taste the sweetness in following the Sunnah, i. e. the correct ways to worship.

● Frequently, we find ourselves engulfed in the aftermath of our mistakes, be they wrong choices or unwise words spoken. To move forward and renew our eeman is to let go of our past. Acknowledge our shortcomings/wrongdoings, learn from them and move on. ● We need to cleanse our hearts. Begin with a genuine and earnest repentance, beseeching Allah (SWT) for forgiveness and His mercy. Make a firm commitment for a fresh start. ● The Quran strengthens our souls, infusing them with elevated faith. Dedicate extra effort to recite, explore the tafseer or learn the Arabic language to fully appreciate the Quran's eloquence, beauty, and miraculous nature. ● The Elixir of Life: Salah. Instead of going on auto-pilot mode, fully engage with Him during the five prescribed moments each day. Express genuine gratitude and directly present your concerns to Him.

■ To conclude, in a world where Salah often becomes a mere habit, the author reiterates the spiritual depths and discusses the condition of the heart one should cultivate when approaching this act of worship, offering insights on how to foster this mindset and exploring the impacts Salah should have on one's life.

Eeman, like a delicate flower, can bloom or wither in response to life's various challenges. Repent, ascend, and usher shifts into your life to earn the pleasure of your Creator. Be the Ummah that is capable of instigating positive societal transformations, rather than one that perpetually whines about every tiny problem.
