3.5 stars.
This book is about the author's personal journey about discovering the Quran and how she goes about establishing a relationship with the Quran. It feels like reading a personal journal. The language used and the "wordy"-ness of this short book reflected that. I gave this book a 3-star rating because I went in expecting more since she started the Quran tagging phenomenon. I really like the added bonus Doa section at the end though hence the extra 0.5 stars. That small section actually sheds more insight into what the author actually discovered from her experience foraging into the Quran, this was what I expected more from the title of the book. Perhaps her future endeavour then

"Remember about building the relationship? Can we be in an intimate relationship with someone if we choose to only speak to them occasionally. The same goes with the Quran". - Pg 95
Considering my copy is the 7th print and there are still some grammatical errors and typos, it's a little bit let down, but i'm okay with it.
This self-help book is a mixture of memoir. Its an okay read for me. Its quite generic in my opinion. I like the story about the Hafizah (woman who memorise Quran). Its not a new story, but its a good reminder and it keep inspiring me.
I love the idea of having a "Jannah Board" year round, not only "Ramadan Board" during Ramadan. There is a special section in this books, a bonus point given by the author. My favourite would be the Quran tagging process. She also included 10 of her favourite du'as for. I'm loving no. 10 : Patience.
"The 24 hours in a day seems not enough and we wish more hours but really, do you think it is because we don't have enough hours or we are just simple poor at time management?" - Pg 101

An inspiring story of one's journey to revert back to Allah's path along with useful tips on how to build a meaningful relationship with The Quran and how to maintain it.
I love how the author talks about the struggles to maintain istiqamah is totally normal and human, and what's important is to keep trying and trying all over again, and don't drown ourselves with negative thoughts towards Allah SWT or ourselves.
It was a really motivating read and it inspires and excites me to understand The Quran more.

Looking at the title, I first thought that this book will be about how the writer did all the Quran Tagging activity; reading it, I know it's not just about that (well, it's not until the very last part of the book). But rather the book is about how the writer embarked her journey to going back to Quran and Islam. It sounds like a typical hijrah made by most of us muslims, but surely, all of us have a different journey and paths we persue and this journey of this writer in one inspirational. It's about the changes made by her that over the time keep on getting up to much, much higher level.
This book gives wide views of 'Reading the Quran', it opens the eyes, the heart and the mind about the Quran in a very familiar way for someone like me.
The writer brings the Quran reading (and learning) into much, much more interesting and higher level for a person whom didn't come from an Islamic upbringing, for a person whom has just started to learn the Quran.
This book will really help, a beginner to decide where to begin in ways that are more entertaining, and yes reading and learning about the Quran should be something that's fun to do (of course in a proper and right way) so that we can develop our love towards this book of guidance and to live it fully.

Pick this book up, read it and fill yourself with hope. Take the hope and run with it. That's what I can say about my feeling after reading this book
I had seen people having tags on their Quran for years, aspire to be one of them but never felt good enough to do so. Reading this book feels like sister Ayesha just hugged me and said I don't have to wait until I'm good to start.
It's so inspiring and genuine, the story of sister Ayesha's relationship with the al Quran, that I feel like little flowers started growing in my heart. The fact that I'm writing a book review in prose instead of my standard criticism should tell all (I tend to be skeptic when it comes to books like this because I'm the kind of reader who reads tone and between the lines).
The content is simple but in no way something you can think of yourself. In other words, this is a book I would say everyone should read. It's eye-opening and inviting us to have a relationship with the Quran, whether the idea has crossed our mind or we never heard of such doing. You will want this small book to change your life.
Sister Ayesha writes with heart, I can tell you that not a lot of people does that. She shares genuinely to spread the happiness and serenity she feels so other people can be happy too, you can feel it in her words.
Technically, the book is also systematic. I do not think it's too personal at all (like some reviews say). I think any fictional book should have stories or experience to back up the points, it's a form of justification, it's necessary. All the stories sister Ayesha shares about her is necessary. I'd like to clarify there are grammar in here but not more than one hand to count, not enough to put even a perfectionist off (I believe this is not the writer's fault but the editor who was paid to edit the manuscript's flaw).
Love this book!!
p.s// I bought myself an English Quran translation and paper tabs after reading this book, I want to be a Quran tag girl too!!
