Secrets of Divine Love: A Spiritual Journey into the Heart of Islam by A. Helwa
5.0
Rating: 10/10
Such an incredible book that I think everyone, regardless of their religious background, would benefit from reading.
I loved how inclusive, neutral, and poetic Helwa's writing is. Although the book is about Islam's teachings, Helwa frequently drew on connections from other religions, like Christianity, Taoism, and Judaism. She also wrote about Islam neutrally, not focusing on one sect's ideas more than the other, which I thought was admirable. Lastly, she also frequently references Rumi's poetry, which I loved since I love Rumi's work.
The Secrets of Divine Love honestly felt like a hug. An overall great read that I'd recommend to everyone.
