Secrets of Divine Love: The Purpose of Our Existence w/ A. Helwa


Listen Later

"We do not worship God because God needs it, we worship God because we need it. Prayer is not you reaching out for God, it is you responding to God, Who first reached out to you."

In Episode 2 of Season 3, I have the pleasure and honor of sitting down with A. Helwa, the award winning author of Secrets of Divine Love. It's not everyday that you come across a book, other than the Quran itself, that can speak to you in such a profound manner.

Her novel is filled with insightful gems and metaphors that allow us to reconnect to our faith in such a personal manner.

In this intimate conversation, Helwa delves into the subject of how we were not created to find God, rather we are to remember and to return to the relationship we already had with God.

Much like the book, in this discussion we go on a journey searching for truth and meaning. We talk about the concept of Allah's door always being opened and how if only we realized that all we have to do is just walk through it.

Helwa discusses why we are so quick to put our trust in Allah's creations, yet hesitant in putting our trust in Him, the same Creator who owes us nothing, yet breathes life into us every single day. She also beautifully explains how the Quran not only teaches us how to experience God but how to interact with God.

I truly hope this episode gifts you with the clarity you are searching for on your spiritual journey. Secrets of Divine Love is a book I highly recommend for everyone to read no matter where you are on your path to rediscovering your connection to God.
