Love from A to Z by S.K. Ali

5.0

This book truly is a marvel.

If there is ever a book I feel represents me most in this world, it would be Love from A to Z. I’ve read this several times now, and the older I’ve gotten I’ve related to Zayneb more and more and have found more and more of myself in her. I’ve also seen pieces of myself in Adam. This book is a gift from Allah SWT. I’m so grateful to have such a wonderful, unapologetically Muslim book in this world.

Zayneb and Adam are two people who are very different, and come from different backgrounds and circumstances and are both experiencing very different challenges. Yet, at the same time, they are united by their faith and by their belief that Allah SWT is there for them. The pain that Zayneb feels for her Muslim ummah is one that I feel too and that I know many other Muslims do too.

Their relationship was perfectly done. The way they opened up to one another and how they went about forming a relationship was pretty much exactly how I would do it too. If I wanted someone to understand the process of being a Muslim and forming a relationship with someone, I’d point them to this book. This is definitely one of my comfort reads and Adam & Zayneb are some of my favorite characters ever. I don’t know if I could ever fully say enough about how much I love this book. Alhamdulilah for this book.
