Book Rant 1 #reclaimyourheart #yasminmogahed




Self-help was one of the genre of books that I began to read when I was in my teens.
It gave me the boost of confident i needed
and it helped me organize my scattered mind.

However, lets face it self-help books are not always religious. 
Even if it is, the whole lot is based on Christianity. 
I see the wonderful things that it conveys but since some of the things do not align with my believes, it sometimes do make reading hard.

and not to mention, some self-help books focus on materialism
They do focus on helping people to make their lives better and get people motivated.
But their aim is to achieve something that is somehow 'material' to me. 
For example,
"How to influence people" 
"How to make friends"
"How to achieve everything you have always wanted"
these are the type of books that are flooding the market. 
Some of them have really good reviews and i believe have helped a lot of people.

But these kind of books lack 'ruh'.
If you add 'ruh' into something, it would definitely be better. 
A book with 'ruh' was something i was looking for.

and Reclaim your Heart by Yasmin Mogahed answered my need. 



Favourite quote from book :

The mirage of water cannot quench. But is so beautiful to the thirsty.
