Reach the Sweetness of Prayer by Moutasem Al-Hameedy

I like the pace of this book and it is something you can pick up again and again when you need to recharge and revise the khusyu' in solat.

Khusyu' is gained not just in the solat. It is prior to solat; how you behave outside solat, how you see wudu' and also how you deal with azan.

Such an eye opening content for me, maybe because all this while my eyes (heart and soul) were closed.

"It is the fact that khushu' is not in your hand."
We must remember to ask from Allah to get it with so much sincerity and dedication.

First non-fic of the year. After looking back at my 2021 readings, I felt like I should add some non-fics as well so I chose a book that was recommended by miss Nina as my first pick.

I was feeling out of balance as I entered new year so I suddenly have the urge to replenish back my prayers as I understand it is what our live should revolve around. Alhamdulillah it was such a beautiful book about khushu. I know it’s the hardest thing to achieve as khushu is not just a state of solah but a state of mind. We should feel mindful and connected to Allah in everything we did and not just in prayers. Despite the difficulties in mind, this book helped me to keep on trying and be hopeful as khushu is also a gift from Him. May Allah grant us Khushu in life✨

In case you ever wonder how I rate a non-fic book, it’s a 4 stars because the content is not like a whole new thing or a mind opener but serves as a nice reminder that my soul truly in need of💕

This is a 4🌟 read for me. I feel that the author could elaborate more on the Khushu tips and some of the points given can be combined instead of repeating it in few pages.

Overall I enjoyed reading it. A worth to re-read for me 🥰
