I live in the forest. Every day I watch the leaves grow on my trees. They remind me that there is no rush to live. Just enjoy. I would like to know more about the Quran and the idea of a universal concept of consciousness, as my trees show me every day. I'm definitely going to read this book.

Wow! This is probably the first review of a self-help text that made me actually want to read it. The fact that it focuses on meditation and scientific means instead of just personal experience and philosophy is refreshing. And I don't think that I have ever seen one based on the teachings of the Quran. I am very intrigued, and I am looking forward to seeing how Fatima presents it without being preachy. Thank you for this fantastic review! It should introduce many readers to this fabulous book!

I love the objectivity of the author's approach to the universe. Even though the Quran was referenced, it's great that it never felt preachy. I'd really love to read this book.

Firstly let's thank the author for the beautiful book, she found that the Quran is for both men and women everybody can read it for knowledge as she referred to the Quran, she found that even Muslim women can play a big position in society, she isn't preach to us but the fact, lastly, let me thank the reviewer for giving us this beautiful review

I enjoyed your telling review. I agree with Fatima's highlight on the Quran telling we should be thankful and appreciative to our Higher Power for all we have. I believe that is true for most Higher Powers. The problem is us doing it. She does show how to without making you feel guilty which is a sign of a great teacher.

Although I don't practice any religion, I do believe that religious books are incredibly enlightening and that we can always gain something from them that we can use in our daily lives.
All major faiths strive to assist us in living better, more satisfying lives, which is ultimately their main goal.
Great review; I'd love to read this book myself.

This is such a wonderful book that conveys the most important yet relevant message about love and gratitude. Very good recommendation for anyone open to improvement. I appreciate non-preachy religious books that talk such universal topic. different religions have more in common than not. Thank you for your informative and helpful review.

Normally I’m not interested in books centred around self-help or religion, but Fatima’s emphasis on a balance between religion and science in trying to find meaning is very intriguing, and the mini biography in the sample indicates that she’s a very intelligent woman with a lot of perseverance.

I'm interested in learning about the Quran. Even though I'm not Islamic, I find this religion interesting, so I like to flip the book's pages to learn some philosophy, life views, etc. Congratulations to the author on BOTD!

I sampled this book and I agree with Mwatu's review. I am yet to reach what Mwatu describes as the core content of the book but from the author's life milestones she described in the sample I read, it does look like a useful work of non-fiction for a person of any religion, and I support Mwatu's rating of all stars.

The book is great. It teaches love, not being sentimental or preachy. It helps to give a great insight of what the Quran is all about. Interesting to read.

I would love to fully understand more about the uniqueness of the Quran and I think your review really helped me understand it a little from another person's point of view. Thank you for that ❤️
