Reclaim Your Heart is written by Yasmin Mogahed and she has successfully shed light on topics that all of us can relate to. She has written about relationships, marriages, love, hardships, us as an Ummah and has linked them to the actual purpose of this life which many of us tend to forget.
The book begins with the topic of ‘Attachment’ and as I finished that section I was already pondering over the fact that how many things I keep clinging to in this world. I cling to people, I cling to my possessions and I cling to certain dreams and desires causing so much pain to myself. As I read further, I felt like this book was customized for me, for my emotions, for the things I do and for the pain I have been through. Every sentence is so marvelously inspiring. It left me astonished at the wisdom of Allah and what all have been prescribed in the Qur’an. I have fallen in love with my Creator and the life to come ahead, all over again.
I have never really been a fan of self-help books. Many a times I had picked up a self-help book only to put it back on the shelf. But Reclaim Your Heart got me hooked from the first page itself. I can’t say I have completely transformed but I am surely on my way to freeing myself from the shackles of this life.
I will certainly recommend this book to all my readers who want to strengthen their relationship with Allah and who wish to find a deeper meaning to their lives. Reclaim Your Heart is an eye opener to what lies beyond this world.
