Ayesha Syahira

When was the last time we really poured our feelings out to Allah? **** We have been taught that the only time we can communicate with Allah is when we are making du’a to Him. Even then, it comes with a set of restrictive rules that puts a ‘barrier’ between Allah and us. The things we recite are verses that we were told to memorise, but rarely do we truly talk to Allah about the troubles that are weighing down our hearts. Because it feels awkward. Thus when we are down and sad, we seek other means for comforting ourselves, but often they offer only temporary respite. We forget that true comfort lies only with Allah. **** In this book, author Ayesha Syahira takes you on a journey of spiritual discovery; of reconnecting with Allah wholeheartedly. The author focuses on nurturing the lifestyle of talking to Allah; of finding comfort by making du’a to Him at any time of the day.

Befriending the Quran

Being a Quran Tag Girl

We have many hopes and dreams in life, and as Muslims, we’re taught that after putting in the work and the effort, we must put our trust in Allah SWT for the outcome. We are required to ‘release’ that control to Allah SWT. But when the result we hope for isn’t the one we received, we become devastated. When setbacks and challenges make us feel like we’ll never be able to achieve our dreams, we feel as though we’re being abandoned by God. “Is He purposely not giving me what I prayed for?” “Am I not good enough that He doesn’t answer my prayers?” *** In this book, author Ayesha Syahira invites readers to go on a journey of connecting the lost hearts with Allah — by nurturing trust in Him when we think He has abandoned us, which He never had. It calls for us to seek a balance between taking action and relying on Allah’s will, and ultimately trusting His plans. By letting go and having full trust in Allah, only then can we finally taste the sweetness of surrendering to Allah, our Creator, the One who only wants the best for us.

He Found You LOST, and Guided You

From the best selling author of Befriending The Quran, Talk To Allah, and Longing For God’s Closeness, comes a new book that comforts the heart that is going through challenges in life; by way of seeking shelter in Allah’s Mercy. *** When we are tested with hardship, it is easy for our hearts to become swayed and see only the worst in things. Sometimes, we even begin to treat Allah with mistrust and suspicion. Without realising it, our hearts begin to whisper things like, “This must be because Allah is angry with us” or “these tests come one after another, when will it end?” Why do we think poorly of Allah? Isn’t Allah’s love and mercy deeper than His wrath? Thus in this book, author Ayesha Syahira shares her comforting words of reflection that guides the heart to seek the mercy of Allah in the face of turbulent storms in life.
