It is riveting to come across a book that welcomes anyone to read about Islam with an open mind, instead of the preconceived negative connotations that are usually associated with it. Owing to the tone and structure, it is further proven from the review that one can comfortably relate to the book without feeling imposed.

I'm very interested in reading books of this theme and prefer to be learning something as I'm reading and while I'm not very religious myself I keep an open mind to all religions and cultures and i just finished a book i was reading today so I'm very much looking forward to reading a book like this.

I’m looking forward to digging into this book to find out what Fatima El-Hindi has to say about this interesting topic about seeking higher consciousness, higher powers and ideals that go beyond our physical existence. I like reading about meditation and all about science and her book is right up my alley.

The inclusion of Fatima's background and the testimonials from her students showcases the importance of knowledge and expertise in building authority and respect, the book seems very educative.

'Official Review: The Universal Call' by Fatima El-Hindi presents a brief thesis on the author's work for readers. It analyses the non-fiction work in detail for avid readers. The point that the interpretations of the Quran in the book are unique, non-conventional, and agree with the principles of both religion and non-religion is worth mentioning in the review. The theme of the book about the source of humanity from the Islamic perspective was sublime and authentic. Also, as mentioned in the review, the point that we come across various easy self-help tenets we have seen in other self-help material is remarkable for readers. It was great to learn that the readers would pick up various lessons they can implement in their daily lives irrespective of their religion!

This book is awesome a book which teaches to live a life of higher consciousness by tapping into higher powers and ideals that go beyond our physical existence..Personally, I'd like to tap into a higher power and be conscious of all my surroundings. I'm definitely open to learning how one can achieve that. Beautifully written review!

This well-written, spiritual non-fiction booklet seems to be part memoir and part self-help. I read the sample and could relate to the universal wrongness of males controlling females. I'm relieved that Fatima was able to get a divorce without repercussions. Great review!

I would vividly live to remember how Fatma outlived the cultural beliefs of her people in Algeria to pursue her ardent ambitions of becoming a scholar. Moreover, I would have wished for Mwatu to mention the Quran 4:34 that according to my opinion marked the beginning of the author's pursuit of happiness and independence as a woman.

I like how the book can be used for both religious and nonreligious persons. I was skeptical at first because the author uses the Quran but how it meshes with scientific evidence is great. Great review!

I haven't read the teachings of Quran, so it's interesting to see the similarities between this book and the Bible used by Christians. One must take time to reflect on various things before deciding in taking actions, as meditation calms the mind and soul. Congrats on the BOTD.
