The fact that the author doesn't impose her thoughts on readers and writes in a way that allows them to disagree with her is commendable. Thanks for the review.

Fatima El-Hindi seems to be a talented writer of this self-help book based on Islam and Science. Being a student of Religious Studies I would like to read this book sometime. You have written the review so well.
Congratulations Fatima El-Hindi on the BOTD!

Good review. I like self-help books in general, but when it comes to spirituality I'm cautious; as I don't want to tap into philosophies that go against my faith. Thank you for the review.

I love that this book describes the evolution of humanity and is for the religious and non-religious alike. It would be great to discuss this book with an expert translator and someone who understands the Q’uran.

The Universal Call: A Journey to Consciousness is a unique take on the interpretations of the Quran-the holy scripture of the Muslim community. The author has shared her views on why the Quran is the universal guide to finding one's true purpose in life and dispels common misinterpretations about it. I was surprised to encounter a couple of examples of these misinterpretations in the initial few sample pages. I commend the author for her courage to speak up on these issues and go against the commonly followed concepts by traditional Muslims. Congratulations on the BOTD!

The Universal Call is a semi-religious book with a different take on the Quran. I hope is it reaches the right audience and is appreciated by them. Congrats on the BOTD!

The Universe Call by Fatima El-Hindi encourages higher consciousness through the Quran and links it with scientific principles and personal experience. It promotes meditation, nature observation, and questioning beliefs for gratitude and self-improvement. Lovers of Islamic religion will love this book. Thanks for the review.

Self-help isn't a genre I read a lot and today's BOTD doesn't appeal to me as a reader. Based on the review, the book seems to be something that aims at making people more spiritually conscious. I like that the author doesn't impose her faith on the readers and that she used scientific reasoning as well.
Thank you for your review.
