5.0 out of 5 stars The First of Its Kind, December 11, 1999

By 

Sabeeha Rehman (Staten Island, New York) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Bounty of Allah (Crossroad Book) (Hardcover)

This book, which offers 365 pages of daily readings, is the first such compilation of its kind in that it has drawn upon the Islamic texts as its source. Each page has two quotations, one from the Koran, and the second from the Hadith (sayings of Prophet Muhammad) or a Sufi saint. Quotations from the Sufi saints reflect the spiritual impact of the preceding Koranic verse. This book is for all readers, Muslims and non-muslims. Its appeal lies in its relevance. The daily reflections are food for thought, inspirational, and with a calming effect touch your heart. The Quranic verses are the guiding light; and the corresponding Sufi sayings have been artfully selected, with a preponderence of quotations from Rumi. This collection is one of Rumi's finest, translated by the author herself. A must read!

Dear fellow readers, whether you're Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist or anything else, I highly recommend that you read "The Bounty of Allah, Daily Reflections from the Quran and Islamic Tradition". This is a lovely little book, well worth the time it takes to read 'a lesson a day'. As I was, you too will me amazed at the beautiful and helpful verses and sayings contained in this little book. If this is Islam (and it obviously is...straight from the original sources!), I LOVE it! I think you'll like it too!

I love this book!!! I find it a very inspiring way to start each day. I keep it by my bed and read each daily passage before I get out of bed. A great way to keep the joy and love of God with you.
