Secrets of Divine Love: A Spiritual Journey into the Heart of Islam by A. Helwa

4.0

“We are all born with spiritual wings, Islam simply reminds us how to fly.”



Secrets of Divine Love by A. Helwa is a captivating book that explores the spiritual journey of Islam and the concept of Divine Love. This is not just a feeling, but a transformative force that guides individuals towards a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationship with God. The book draws upon the Qur’an, the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and the writings of Islamic scholars and mystics to present a comprehensive and poetic overview of Islamic teachings and practices. The book also includes scientific evidence, practical exercises, and guided meditations to help readers apply the wisdom and insights in their daily lives.
As someone who recently started practicing and not really that spiritual, I found this book to be a challenge, but also a blessing. It was eloquent and inspiring, with an inclusive and universal message. I started reading to reconnect with my faith, overcome my doubts, and experience God’s love and mercy in a more intimate and personal way. I think this book is for Muslims and non-Muslims who are interested in learning more about Islam and spirituality. It is a book that requires patience and attention, as it is rich with information and insights. I found out it has a journal, which I am eager to purchase and use to enhance my reading experience. I give it a 4/5.
