Heartful Talks with Julie

[#7] Light Upon Light (Book Review)


Listen Later

Hello dear friends! Welcome to another "The Book Shelf" (TBS) episode featuring the book "Light Upon Light - A Reflection on Life, Love & God" by Nur Fadhilah Wahid.


This book contains a lot of stories that talks about challenges in different areas of life and the joys that we can discover in our day-to-day activities -- if only we are just mindful & reflect upon the blessings in our life. This book definitely inspired me to continue with my gratitude newsletters and to be more intentional with every word that I share in my newsletters. Alhamdullilah!

I have also learned to let go of my fears and trust in Allah SWT. I realized this when I read this part in the book:

"When a door of opportunity is opened for us and we choose to flee, we are essentially not giving to that moment what it requires of us. Hence, we deny ourselves of the opportunity to grow. When we resist the potter's hands and repel the hot furnace, we remain but a shapeless lump of clay our entire lives"

Don't forget to share this podcast episode to your family and friends. I would really appreciate that. See you on the next episode Insha Allah!
