Reclaim Your Heart By Yasmin Mogahed

Reclaim Your Heart reflète le message spirituel de l'islam: simple, profond

In the book, Mogahed does not preach, nor does she write with self-righteousness shadowing her wisdom. She takes you on many journeys. Her personal journey, the journeys of the prophets of Allah, the journey of the Qur’an — and within this, she allows you to manifest all of it in a way that reminds you of your own journey. Your own peaks and dips of faith, your own heartbreaks, your own disappointment and your attachment to the material world.

Throughout the book, though she covers many aspects of life and faith, she consistently reminds us of purpose. Everything has its purpose. At one point, she spoke about the verse “Verily with hardship coms ease” (Surat Insyirah 5-6) and how she misinterpreted it for much of her life. She, along with many others have at one point interpreted this verse to say that Allah has given us a systematic structure that ease will come after hardship, when the verse clearly states that hardship comes with ease. Perspective is key and things may not always be what they seem. Mercy is in everything, and not only must we treat hardships as blessings, but we must also find hardship in periods of perceived ease.
