About This Book
Foreword
As somebody who Allah- the Mighty and
Majestic, blessed, guided to Islaam and
granted the ability to follow the Sunnah/ way
of His Messenger- may peace and salutations
be upon him- upon the understanding of the
earliest generations of Muslims, and then was
favoured with a decade long journey of
seeking knowledge in Maadinah, the City of
the Prophet; I have always appreciated any
work in the English language that inspires and
motivates our young Muslim readers to this
Pure Creed & Ideology, and the Merciful
Methodology that comes with it.
The origin of this book that is in-front of us
today; are inspirational and motivational
sayings that my brother in Islaam and a dear
friend of mine: Edris Kibalama gathered
during his decade-long spiritual journey.
These reflective sayings, though short in
wording bear deep and insightful meanings,
that will move any Muslim that reads them-
by the permission of Allah.
All of the quotes that have been gathered by
our Noble brother bear roots in the Qur aan &
the sunnah- we discussed with our brother to
add in footnotes in the next edition including
some of the Noble Verses of the Qur aan and
the Words of our Beloved Prophet,
Muhammad- peace be upon him, so that this
book will be of greater benefit- by the
permission of Allah
May Allah bless this book, and reward its
author, and make it of benefit to all those that
come across it and its readers, and we ask
Allah to grant us both success and Divine
guidance, for indeed He is the Grantor of that.

Introduction
In the name of Allah, The Entirely Merciful,
The Especially Merciful
I compiled this book from a combination of 2
books, of which I gathered many reflections
and life quotes over many years of pondering
over my young adult life, from between the
age of about 20 and 30 years old, as I
transitioned from my old life of ignorance and
misguidance into a life of peace, tranquillity
and deeper understanding about who I am,
but most importantly, who Our Creator is, and
what He wants from me i.e. to Worship Him
alone without associating any partners with
him whatsoever, The Only One truly
deserving of Worship; which finally led me to
knowing my life purpose and spiritual calling
hence this book in front of you as a result of
this concerted effort on my part, and as a
prelude to the person I am today, edging
towards the middle of my life on this
temporal worldly abode, by the will of Allah.
