Product Information

As long as your heart is beating, you have a purpose. God is intentional, so He does not keep anyone on Earth that doesn’t have to be here; if we are blessed with more life, it is because someone in the world needs us. If we are alive, it means that what we were sent to this Earth to create has not yet been accomplished.” God does not love you just because of who you are; He loves you because love is who He is. So never stop praying. Even when the pain is too much to bear, even when you have broken a thousand promises, even if all that comes out is a silent whisper that only God can hear. No matter what storms you are facing, no matter how bad you mess up, no matter how painful life becomes, the door to prayer is always open for you. After all, as Imam Ali said, “When the world pushes you to your knees, you’re in the perfect position to pray.” Secrets of Divine Love: A Spiritual Journey into the Heart of Islam is an inspiring guide that will lead you towards the hidden meaning of the Qur'an through pass The book explores our roles as human beings, not through our eyes but through the eyes of the Creator. Studded with beautiful gems and words of wisdom, it is hard to deny the overwhelming feeling of love and belonging. “You are an everlasting spirit held in the mortal embrace of clay. You are not a human being meant to be spiritual, you are a spiritual being living this human being miracle”, writes the poet Aru Barzak. When Helwa is not reading at coffee shops, she can be found climbing mountains, camping in deserts, h A. Helwa believes that every single person on Earth is deeply loved by the Divine.

The book explores the primary rituals of Islam giving us a deeper appreciation and understanding of them. “Prayer (salat) brings to light your false idols’ since the outer form can be misaligned and contradictory with the inner state…one prayer to God frees you from a thousand prostrations to your ego.” If you want to be independent from God in this world, the next life will also mirror that separation from the divine.” (p287) Allah is the forger of time, the molder of space, the weaver of souls, the turner of hearts, the One who creates everything in stages yet is beyond the limits of time. Life is created from His breath, the cosmos forms from the vibration of His speech, and love is birthed from the womb of His mercy. He is the One who said, “Be!” to the vast nothingness, and existence sprouted into being. His words inspire light to break the darkness of nothing into the dawn of life.” This is perhaps one reason the Day of Judgment is sometimes termed Yom il-hasra (the day of longing). However, this is not to say we must not enjoy the bounties of this life, we can “love the passing fruits of this beautiful earth, but Allah reminds us to hold these gifts in our hands instead of our hearts” since “what we worship depends on where we direct our attention.”

Adapun bukti lain mengenai banyaknya cinta dan kasih Allah yaitu melalui luasnya ampunan yang Allah berikan. Sebanyak apapun dosa yang manusia miliki, Allah pasti akan mengampuninya, asalkan saja manusia tersebut benar-benar bertaubat. Allah SWT sudah berjanji di dalam Al-Quran, yang berbunyi: “Dan hendaklah kamu meminta ampun kepada Tuhanmu dan bertobat kepada-Nya. Niscaya Dia akan memberi kenikmatan yang baik kepadamu sampai kepada waktu yang telah ditentukan dan Dia akan memberi kepada tiap-tiap orang yang mempunyai keutamaan (balasan) keutamaannya.” (QS Hud: 3).

When the divinely aligned heart is the king of the body and the mind is its servant, we live in peace and harmony”– A. HelwaMelalui buku ini, penulis ingin mengenalkan kepada para pembacanya mengenai jati diri dan juga sifat Allah SWT yang sangat indah. Di dalam buku ini, Helwa tidak pernah sedikitpun menyinggung mengenai siksa kubur, neraka, ataupun hal-hal mengerikan lain. Buku ini semata hanya ditujukan untuk mengajak para pembaca untuk melihat Allah sebagai Tuhan yang Maha Kasih tanpa adanya catatan. Our journey on earth is about unwrapping the gift of divine love that we were given by God. It is not about achieving, earning, or deserving divine love- the shoreless ocean of Allah's love is already within us.
