Secrets of Divine Love: A Spiritual Journey into the Heart of Islam (Studying Qur'an & Hadith)

Love it

I reverted 6 years ago and have a Bachelor's studying religion secularly (how does it form, why does it seem to be a part of human nature, what do rituals and practices do for mankind). This is my favorite religious book i have ever read, I think even for those who are strict in their dogma and are skeptical of mysticism in religion could benefit from reading this and forgoing the mindfulness practice if it bothered them bc the content of this book is so outstandingly beautiful. To be honest after converting interacting with Muslims has been the main thing that has pushed me away from my faith at times and this book really reminded me why I found the Quran to be so compelling and why I accepted Islam in the first place by bringing me back to a focus on God and love for myself and others that he created. I'm actually reading for a second time after finishing my first read through this month.

It’s a great read so far! It came in great condition! I would purchase again.

This is such a wonderful book that anybody of any faith or religious background can appreciate. It really gets to the heart of how the divine loves us. It’s one of my favorite books of all time.

Almost every page of mine is dog-earred. It’s the kind of book you want to go back to and read when your spirits are down and you are doing some soul searching. Makes you fall in love with Allah. Don’t listen to naysayer fundamentalists who poo poo it. It’s awesome! Buy it! Full of lesser known esoteric wisdom that will open your heart to the beauty of Islam.

Most spiritually uplifting book I've read. These words resonate true in my heart. Such beautiful stories of sages (like those of Nasruddin) are skillfully sprinkled throughout the chapters, that make you chuckle, as you reflect on their deep wisdom.I also have the audio book -- my favorite thing to do is walk outside while listening to the author read the beautiful words with her soothing voice. This immersive experience increases my awe of our Creator as I gaze at creation around us, and feel the beauty the One has placed within us.Truly, an amazing work.

After studying Spencer talk about the evils of Islam, I thought it would be good to look at the positive side of it and this book seems to be THE one. I've yet to really feel the sufi poets...working on it. This book however is immediately wise and transcendent. I read it to help defuse the Western bias and appreciate this mystery and get along with others.

Good
