Stay Connected: A Pocket Guide of Prayers for Muslims - Paperback

by Abeer Arain (Author)

The author
has us imagining our life as a tree. The roots are our declaration of faith,
anchoring us, the strong trunk represents our connection with Allah, and the
branches represent the different aspects of our life and potential growth. If
the trunk is weak, the whole tree suffers. Daily worries, like scattered
branches, can pull our focus away, weakening our roots. She warns, if we're not
careful, we can easily lose sight of Allah and neglect our consciousness of
Him. Stay Connected is an aid to rebuild that connection.

The book is broken down into prayers for every part of a regular day: From morning to night, there are prayers to help start the day with the right intention, find peace and guidance during the busy hours, and reflect on Allah's blessings before going to sleep. It uses evocative language that resonates with the reader's desire for spiritual connection and at the same time creates a sense of urgency with a call to action.
