Book: Nearness to you
Author : Nur Fadhilah Wahid
Publisher : Iman Publication
For those who have just begun their spiritual journey, what is the path to get closer to God?
For those who found themselves distant from God even for years, is there a path to return to Him?
Does one still have a chance at being near to God, even after all the mistakes and transgressions?
If you need something to read in your journey to find Allah swt especially for the beginner (like me), this is a great start. This book is a compilation of the author's journey to finding Allah with a soothing message for self-pondering, with a simple way to remind you how beautiful life is when we have Allah in our heart and how to take a step to get closer to ALLAH.
I remember picking this book from the book shelves during Pesta Buku Selangor last Dec 2021. I was directly open to the page “Paths to God”. This is what I’ve been looking for, I told myself. Without hesitation, I bought this book and brought it back home.
Those words are just soothing to my heart. But this book took me 4 days to finish. It’s a short essay with simple English and is easy to understand but took me some time and slow down read so that I could process the meaning of each topic. I put notes patched for self-reflection notes and reminders too. Highly recommend this book for spirituality and boost your hijrah journey.
“Letting go and moving forward is tough – especially when we feel that the other has served us injustice. But perhaps when we reclaim blame and try to understand that every ‘bad’ thing that has happened to us, every single one of them, is but a string in this amazing tapestry of life – OUR life – that God has woven so perfectly, then we’ll see with uncluttered clarity that it is exactly these painful periods in our lives that have made us the beautiful, strong, complex and wise person we are today”. – page 78 (Alhamdulillah, Thank you)
