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.

Anyone leaning towards attaining a peace of mind for a few minutes everyday. In wanting to know right from wrong written in a beautiful and poetic style; anyone enclosed in the domain of modern superficiality wanting to tear through the murky membrane into a world that ignores materialistic credentials, THAN (it took me a while to get there, I know) this is the book to have. It is a pretty compilation of readings from the Muslim Holy book: the Quran. Followed by a quote from the teachings and observations of theologians and sufi saints of the Middle Ages. A must have!

The "Bounty of Allah" by Aneela Arshed is very nicely compiled book. Ms. Arshed collects very inspirational verses from the Quran along with relevant sayings of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) or other wise people. A great daily reference

This is a VERY well written collection of Quranic verses and Hadith. I liked this book so much I sent it to several friends as well. When you start the day with a page from this book it helps put things in perspective, which I feel is something we lose all to easily in this fast paced, cut-throat world with which we have surrounded ourselves. I would encourage everyone to buy this book. Although I read it in the morning, this is probably a great way to end the day as well.

This book is inspirational, it is a good book to read every day. The readings are short enough that it is easy to read every day, and it improves the reader's life.
