PRAISE FOR THE BOOK A Divine Language - A review of the book 'Sufi Prayer & Love' ""What has he found who has lost God? And what has he lost who has found God?"" - Ibn Allah Al-Iskandari Author Ahmad Javid's book 'Sufi Prayer and Love' is a deeply personal and enriching discourse on prayer and love for the almighty. It explains in great detail the intimate talk you should have in your life with God, this is also known as Salat (prayer). This prayer is a separate divine language on its own and will bring you closer to the Almighty. This is the kind of book that should appeal to a lot of people because at its heart lies an intelligent discussion on prayer - the right kind of prayers and the power it gives you in life. And Muslims especially should find this book as a great guide that extols the virtue of prayer and love for Allah. Most of us do pray but when our prayers remain unanswered we often wonder where we went wrong. It doesn't exactly teach you how to pray but it explains in great detail what a prayer should be. Through simple stories and descriptions, you will understand how to communicate with God better. The book doesn't limit itself to mere explanations of the various rituals we follow as part of our prayers, but it explains the meaning and purpose behind every word and action. It is said that you cannot teach Salat or prayer to someone as it is personal and internal.
