review An Affluent Heart
An Affluent Heart is a collection of stirring and thought-provoking personal du'a for women and men at any stage of marriage - single, newly-wed, veteran, and divorced.
Its prayerful contemplations are designed to draw spouses closer to each other, and closer to Allah. They form a collective plea, in which pride is abandoned and a humble admission of need, human fraility, and our dependence upon Allah are expressed.
Each du'a draws inspiration from the sunnatic tradition of utilising the magnificent names of Allah to invoke Him for attributes that enhance marital connection such as; love and compassion, steadfast faith and practice, acceptance and understanding, forgiveness and patience, refuge from temptations, a mutual aspiration for Jannah.
Through its supplications, An Affluent Heart compels us to strive for tranquillity in our marriages, while encouraging us to pray with and for each other. An Affluent Heart
I love how the duas are structured in the book. And while it being focused on one of greatest blessings of this life, ‘righteous spouse and children’ it is a must have book for every muslim in their household, in order to be mindful of the blessing and be continuously seeking help of Allah for your marriage.
The interesting and most dazzling thing for me about these profound duas is that, every dua uses one of the unique Names of Allah, which is also a significant etiquette of dua. As in verse 180 of Surah Al-A’raf, “The most beautiful names belongs to Allah; so call on Him by them…” Throughout the book the author has utilized a total of 26 beautiful Names of Allah, which can be also an opportunity for you to memorize these beautiful names and learn to apply it in your duas.
You will find in this book, duas in the areas of protection for your family, guidance to be the best spouse and react in the best of manners in different situations, calling for comfort of your heart through peace and contentment, and many more to strengthen your beautiful marriage. Also, at the end of the book there are blank pages dedicated for your own affluent gems.
At first when I saw the book online, I did not imagine that it will be such a high quality book. It has a steady hardback cover with glossy pages throughout the book, with high definitive photographs at certain pages, also with beautiful arabic calligraphy used for the Names of Allah. All contents are color printed and gives a really clean look. While you are reading the dua, due to the simplicity it does not create any distractions. Additionally, with its portability, there is also a ribbon bookmark, attached to the book, making it so much useful.
I highly recommend this incredible book to every muslim, whether you are single or married, you will find duas that can be beneficial in it. And specially recommended to those who sometimes find difficulty in putting their feelings into duas, In sha Allah this book will assist you greatly. I absolutely love it! its a book which will benefit me for the rest of my life, In sha Allah.
