Congratulations Salim, for a very beautiful publication of your book “Fragrance of Dhikr’ul Allah”.
Beautifully written and very well researched work invoking the spirit of Dhikr as one reads on.Sentences like, amongst many others, “At every breadth, the previous breath dies”. How many of us, I wonder relate that to Allah’s creation, in every moment as we take each breath. Beautifully put, “Without the soul, the body is like a light without electricity, a computer without the software, a spacesuit without a body”. So synonymous to a flat line!
I could go on and on, but one last observation about the magical number 19 in numerology-- each letter broken down to make the total sum of 19. Amazing! Thanks Salim, for the awareness invoked to ignite the little flicker inside the reader’s soul.
May you always remain blessed in Allah’s Blessings and His Rahma. Ameen. Shukhr!
Allahu Akbar, SubhanAllah. AlhamdullilahYears of research has rewarded you. I can feel that. Thank you for sharing the book. I can see that it has been an inner understanding for you. Delighted that I can slowly breath in the fragrance. I love the Whirling Dervishes on the cover. It sets a space for an inner search. I love the black and orange too, very striking. Misbah al Nur another wonderful image... Sura Noor is my favourite. I have tried to memorize and quote often. You have put into one cover all the steps we need to ascend. All the significant points that we ponder and then have to go back to. It is a Tariqa... the way when sometimes we must travel the same path twice, with a better understanding. I like your analogy of traveling by foot on the path of Sharia. “What a wonderful gift this book will make for house- warming, weddings, birthday gifts”. “Very Enlightening”
A really insightful and knowledgeable book indeed. Not only very informative but very helpful for all Muslims at large. What I liked most was your efforts in researching all your work so diligently. I applaud your hard work and untiring research that has made it a success. Your explanations are very thorough and makes it very engaging to continue to read. My favourite was Ayat Al Kursi. You really dealt deeply into that very important Ayat and made the reader understand it’s true importance.
I am in total awe having just finished reading the most spiritually inspired reading. The Blessed pen has flowed articulately from the Divine sea of knowledge, that which only the very Blessed and fortunate souls are inspired and directed to scatter the profound pearls of knowledge.
Very well researched, deep understanding of the concept and delivered as a gift with a neat bow, the book is priceless.
The book has answered a lot of underlying questions and opened up a new horizon into the core of my being.
