This is a poetry book that contains 99 names of Allah. Even from the first page of this book, I love it already. It is a very light read for me & whenever I read it, my heart truly feels so calm & peaceful. Each poems have its own specialty. I love the ryhmes when I read poems in this book. Besides, I do feel this book is a success in helping readers to reflect of Allah’s greatness.

Invoke does not only contain poems but it also contains du’a related to the names of Allah. It’s truly helpful for the readers especially those who are in need of preferences for du’a. There’s also blank space for readers to fill in their own choice of du’a. I find it quite interesting. I love all the poems & some of it have become my favourite as it gives me & reminds me of things that sometimes I forget. If you need something to read in Ramadhan that’s coming soon, this book is one of the book that you can read✨

Thank you so much @s.n_writes_ for the review copy & the chance to read one of your work. Also, thank you to @whitecoateffect for sending me this precious book.

A recollection of beautiful poems about the Names of Allah. Simple and beautiful duas that we can perform daily for our loved ones, for our dear self and for the ummah. It’s everything nice packed in here. A great book to gift to your dearest for this Ramadan.

The needs of the soul are neglected. Spiritual needs go unnoticed. Left aside, an outdated accessory

The soul today is left to collapse and descend into annihilation, taking with it the heart and mind in a downward spiral, into the abyss of despair and conflict - Suma Din

This is a book for the craving soul!

Contains poems respective to Asma Allah. Simple verses but touches the heart that long for connection to the One

What I appreciate most is the du’a attached to each poetry. You can write your own too! Spill yourself here, make this your soul-diary. I have yet to doodle in here

"She feared from the world she'll be wiped out,
until God saved her from the blackout

A book that speaks from the heart and seeps into your soul.

When I first received this book, I loved how interactive it was. The poems are like a personal collection of thoughts from the authors herself, and whilst I can't comment on the structure and such, I had loved every page, and in a sense how I can relate to the words from the words that were written. I liked how interactive it is, and that we're provided a section to write in the book. I made it like a journal of some sorts, in my second half of Ramadan and I loved the idea and experience.

Its a book that connects with your soul and very good for ones that are trapped in darkness. Loved it!

Thank you so much to the author for kindly sending me this book as a gift. I will definitely get this for my families as gifts for them as well.

Ramadan is the best time for me to indulge this book so that I can feel the closeness of my Creator through His beautiful and meaningful names. Not only this book written with love and sincerity by its authors, they also allows readers to personalised their du’as by referring to the Asmaul Husna and its meanings.
