Amazing Book

This this an excellent book for those who really want to read about loving Allah , this book is very well organized for a variery of readers, i would say It was plesure to read this book.

A great love inspiring work

To my knowledge this is the only work focusing on bringing the reader close to Allah by highlighting the love that should exist between Creator and creation. An truly landmark work. May Allah draw all those connected with this work in any way nearer to Him.

Written by a lover of God

When I started reading this book, I realized that this is one of those books that needs to be read over and over again and each time there are more and more jewels to be mined. This book was so rich and deep in its meanings that I was unable to finish all of it in one go. I soon realized that this is one of those books where one reads a few lines and then lets himself or herself drown in the beauty of the Shaikh's words. It really seems like this book is written by a true lover in praise of his Beloved. Imagine being in such a lover's presence...

Beautiful

I was so looking for an Islamic book that focused on Love for God and Love from God (not just fear and obedience), and I think I've found one. Simple and beautiful Sufi book with sayings and guides for loving our Maker and humanity. An educated, eloquent and poetic Chicken Soup for the Muslim (or any faith's) soul! The Sufi views are not 'out there' or heavily Mystic; just simple and practical for everyday life. t :)

From Heart to heart

How i happen chanced on the book "Love for Allah" by Shaykh Zulfiqar Ahmed is an indication to me that somehow Allah planned for me to read at the time that He did. When i started to read this book, i could not put it down. It was as if the words were coming from the depths of someone's heart and landing and making impressions on mine. It is written in simple English so as to be appealing to the novice on the Path. As it is in life, it is the simple things that are the most profound. The Shaykh's analogies are penetrating. The one that stands out in memory is the one that says "Be humble like the earth, merciful like the sun and generous like the ocean." Another story that stands out is that of a man performing his prayer who reprimanded a woman for passing by in front of him and her response that she who was so bewildered by the recent lost of her beloved husband that she did not see him and accidentally passed by in front of him and what kind of a lover is he that instead of being engrossed in the worship of his Beloved that he should be so easily distracted by a woman passing by in front of him. The Shaykh also strikes the balance between external and internal knowledge that finds itself in conflict amongst so many people these days, most people inclining towards one or the other. His simple statement made it so clear to me as i paraphrase it here: External knowledge without the internal leads to arrogance and internal knowledge without the external leads to innovations.I pray for great success for the people who made this beautiful writing available to seekers like us and that we are guided to our Beloved.Resident,California
