Reviews"In this approachable work of tafsir (exegesis of the Qur'an), Khan (Divine Speech) wields his mastery of the Arabic language to teach about Islam on a practical, everyday level. Khan's essays are charming and simple in their prose, and simultaneously deep in substance."-- Publishers Weekly "profound explanations of disarmingly simple words and phrases is by far the book's greatest strength, as it opens up the world of the Qur'an in a way few other sermonic texts do."-- Publishers Weekly "an excellent resource for people who want to learn the actual message and the essence of Islam"-- Quake Books "each chapter of the book is hugely relevant in this day and age and looks at key hurdles we're facing in our faith, ways to overcome it and use it to strengthen us."-- Reading in Between the Lines "An Instant Connection! Can I just say that it felt almost as if Nouman Ali Khan was talking to me as I read the book."-- Step Inside My Handbag "will tug at your heart-strings."-- Islamic Voice " If you enjoy his lectures, you will enjoy this."-- AboutIslam.net "one to enjoy digesting and pondering upon."-- ProductiveMuslim.com "opens up another world of detail that we, or at least I, usually miss out on... eye-opening"-- islamwich.com "A stunning collection of spiritual lectures that are both current and thought-provoking."-- Pardon My Writings
