A review by zyzah
Prayers of the Pious by Omar Suleiman

5.0

It's so beautiful 😭😭. I'm crying because I didn't want it to end and it was such a beautiful journey for me.
Omar Suleiman had a podcast and this book is made of it (I didn't even know about the podcast until now)

This book as the name suggested contains 30 Du'as by Pious people in Islam, from the well known like Abubakr (RA) to Umar (RA) to the people I've never heard of but who had a wonderful connection with Allah (AWJ)

I love this book because it's different from Du'a books, usually Du'a books just contain lists of Du'as without explanation.
Omar Suleiman explained each Du'a, how we can implement it, who said and why he said it.

"An individual does not have to be a poet to praise Allah, you'd be surprised how poetic you can be when you're honest."

I felt reconnected to Allah honestly and it felt like I've been saying my Du'as the wrong way. These Pious humans were so sincere in prayers and they asked mostly for things that will benefit them in the Hereafter. They didn't say it for saying sake, they completely had faith in their prayers.

The Prayer Journal at the end of the book was super helpful too!!

Got this as a review copy kindly sent by Kube Publishing and I'm very grateful for it 😘.
