This book will actually help you grow spiritually.
It talks about most of the things a believer in this life goes through uncertainly or thinking he knows he's doing the right thing.
It will make you question yourself.
Duʿā’ is not placing an order at a restaurant. Duʿā’ is not placing an order for a product. When you place an order, you pay something and you get what you expected. You place an order for French fries; you’re not supposed to get a burger. You’re supposed to get French fries.
When you make dua know that you didn't pay Allah anything. And from that position when you ask; you’re not in a position to be placing orders.
There is much needed advise given by this author. Every Muslim should read this book at least once in life. I will always hold it close to my heart and will definitely re-read it.

The author does an excellent job at putting his extensive knowledge of the Quranic language to use in applying the teachings to modern day life. Language was a bit tedious at times and seemed more fit for a khutbah than written prose.

A lovely book! It's not exactly a book written by Nouman Ali Khan, but a transcription, if you may, of a collection of his lectures, so the writing reflects that vocal quality in it. At times it gets almost repetitive for reading sake, but that's not big of a deal.
About the book itself, it's a lovely book full of fresh perspectives and having known Ustad Nouman Ali Khan's way of easing down difficult concepts and hammering them in, this book was amusing to read. Though the title and content is of religious nature, but the perspectives shared in it are those that can be applied to any area of life, your work, relationships, businesses, self help, you name it. Makes you truly awe at the wonder Islam is, a code of life in actual, and makes you sad actually when you realize how extremely extremely far we are from it. The book is divided in collections of Quranic duaas/prayers and their explanations and it's mind blowing how you'd find yourself relating to most of them, even all of them, if you pay attention ❤️ This is the type of book you'd want to come back to again and again, just to refresh your views. A 3.75 for this one, because the writing got repetitive to the point of distraction for me. A fresh, lovely read overall.

If you're moved to do some introspection, this book provides a good guide. I like the fact that the author breaks down verses of the Quran to enhance readers' comprehension of the texts. My favourite bits was when he touched on our predisposition to assume and criticise, as well as how we ought not to be nonchalant about, and actively seek, our main purpose in life.
