My Islamic Book Collection

It has been a few years since I first picked up a book dealing with Islamic spirituality and the journey has been a joyous one since then. I don’t know what it is, but knowledge – even as tiny and minuscule as mine – can be very addicting and empowering. The more you know, the more benefits you can reap, and the more you are reminded of your own insignificance in the face of all of Allah’s Creation. I feel that it is crucial to know since it seems we, by nature, want to be the most important, its exact opposite. Today, I am sharing with you some of my favorite Islamic books among those who have been sitting around on the shelf for much too long:
