hello and assalamualaikum everyone, i'm back! I'm finally back. how's everything going? i hope everything is going well with all of you and that you're in great health. it's been a while since i last posted on my blog and i’m very happy to finally get back to it! today, i’m diving straight into the main topic of this post which is a book review for one of my all-time favourite reads, secrets of divine love by a. helwa. this is my first time doing a book review on my personal blog and i’m excited to share my thoughts! i’ve always loved reading. it’s my way of escaping into new worlds and from being depressed lol. i honestly can’t think of a better way to spend my free time than with a good book ♡

to start, i’m honestly not a very religious person, but i picked up secrets of divine love with an open heart, hoping to find a deeper connection to the spiritual teachings of my religion. and i was truly moved by the experience. this book really feels like a work that speaks to my soul, gently guiding me as the reader, toward a more intimate relationship with Allah SWT. grounded in love, surrender, and inner peace. just "wow". 

from the very first page of the book, i felt like i was being invited into a sacred space. i like how a. helwa's writing is both poetic and light, with a sense of warmth that feels as if she’s speaking directly to me, like a friend. she blends her personal experiences with islamic teachings in such a way that it feels less like reading a book and more like engaging in a conversation about faith, love and the uncertainties of life. she also explains that Allah's love is actually at the core of everything and the more we tune into it, the more we begin to understand our own lives. beautiful, don't you think?

apart from that, i also love how a. helwa makes the deep spiritual concepts of islam feel relatable, even for someone who’s not "well-versed" in islam. she expresses things in a way that feels both deep but still easily accessible. her explanations of the Quran, prayers and even suffering helped me understand these elements in a way i hadn’t before. it resonated with me and it somehow felt like peeling back layers, each one revealing a new depth of understanding.

there are also personal stories scattered throughout the book, which made my reading experience even more moving. wether it’s a. helwa recounting her own struggles with faith or stories of muslim saints, these personal touches added a layer of authenticity that i found both inspiring and humbling. it reminded me that we are all on a journey and that Allah's affection is always there to catch us, no matter where we are or what phase of life we are going through. 

p/s: this book has left me with a renewed sense of connection to Allah SWT. it's a book i'll likely return to time and time again. if you guys are looking for a spiritual book that nourishes the heart and invites you to reflect on love and faith in life, i can’t recommend this one enough. a. helwa has crafted something truly special here and it’s a gift to anyone seeking to feel Allah's love in a more profound and tangible way.

I'm no beauty queen, I'm just beautiful me.

I have never really been that good at introducing or talking about myself, but here it goes anyway. My full name is Nur Azzathul Aisya. My friends and family call me by the name Aisya but, I personally prefer Caca. A short, simple and sweet nickname. I am still in my 20s, my mom gave birth to me on June 14th. I was born in land below the wind, Sabah. My personality is typically described by people around me as soft and warm, almost like mashed potatoes. Another thing about me is that I love being surrounded by peaceful and calming vibes—like sitting in the silence of my own room and listening to pop-punk music. Honestly, it helps me escape my never-ending loneliness. I also have a strong fondness for anime, books, flowers, music and cats!
