The Holy Quran
A book that was revealed 1400 years ago by God on his last Holy Prophet
Mohammad (P.B.U.H) by angel Gabriel (according to the Islamic tradition). It is
believed that Mohammad (P.B.U.H) achieved excellence in his character by
following the principles of the Holy Quran. He is known to be one of the
greatest men in human history due to his incomparable leadership skills, his
kindness, and mercy not only towards human beings but also for animals and
plants, his legislative rules and laws that made Muslim societies one of the
most prosperous and just social systems in various ages, his attitude towards
women and his quest of getting women rights that were never given them
before. These are a few things of his personality that
make it so impactful. And all these traits are easily achievable by
reading, understanding, and implementing the Holy Quran.
● The Holy Quran has scientifically been proven to carry
unbelievable facts about the universe and human beings. It has a great
connection with Science, the book of God tells people to think and observe in a
time where we are often taught to simply follow and copy, not use our brains
too much. Thinking
and reflecting upon one’s self and the universe can bring enlightenment and
independence. It can create miracles.
● The Holy Quran is filled with stories to learn
from, these are the stories of Prophets and people from
different times having similar problems. Interestingly, human beings of all
ages are connected with each other in some way and how relatable can the story
be. Each story has a lesson to tell from which one can attain a lot of
benefits.
● This book also takes people on a journey of God-finding and
Knowing Oneself, both the journeys are crucially important to human
existence but unfortunately, we are not being taught any of these in our
institutions. This has resulted in severe mental, spiritual and health crises
in human civilization.
● The Holy Scripture also teaches people acceptance, kindness, giving
& generosity, and patience. These human traits can
change the world, if and only someone is ready to take the first step and make
a life-changing move in his life. Each chapter has been carefully
articulated and has something new in treasure for the readers every time they
read.
● It is an everyday guide and a comforting friend that
can take you through the storms of life with grace and courage. It
would give you the confidence to lead from the front. You can learn how to make
your experience on Earth enriched, filled with love and joy and how to leave a
legacy behind you.

Forty Rules of Love
This book has become a worldwide phenomenon, written by one of
the most poised female writers of the current times. Writing a book inside a
book is itself an art, and Elif Shafaq performed that art meticulously. The
book takes you on a journey of love and change. Love is
often disguised as some fairytale feeling when it’s not, it’s something much
bigger and different than that. Miss. Shafaq proposes a very
interesting idea in her book that love is the process of change.
If you are the same person before and after falling in love then
it’s not love. The writer has also separated the idea of love from being a very
man-woman concept, she has proposed how true love can be of any form.
In this book she has shown love in the form of a friendship between two of the most interesting personalities of that time, Rumi & Shams, their story has transcended ages and continues to be a source of comfort and learning for millions of people.
● The book depicts a story of change and transformation and
tells important lessons when it comes to morals.
● It opens the bitter face of society to the readers and
tells how interestingly similar can two different ages be.
● My favorite parts of the book are Shams E
Tabrizi’s anecdotes on life and people, even after years of
reading the book for the first time, I still go back to relearn some of the
most important lessons of life.
● The forty rules of love that have been carefully inserted in
different parts of the book by the author also prove to be a great treat for
the readers, they teach the readers both lessons on life and love.
● Last but not the least, the Sufistic and Islamic side of the book, Miss
Shafaq tries to depict the image of the true Islam that is forgiving, kind,
patient, and wise, this Islam is tarnished by Muslims themselves and different
agendas.
“Every true love and friendship is a story of unexpected
transformation. If we are the same person before and after we loved, that means
we haven’t loved enough.” Forty Rules of Love — Elif Shafak
Rich Dad Poor Dad
Many times people are taught this idea in real life, books, and
movies, that money can’t buy happiness, that’s an absurd thing to tell people
that does not let them grow financially and emotionally. Most of the world’s
problems and crimes result from poor financial conditions. Financial
inferiority makes people do horrible things not only to others but also to
themselves. Most of the serial killers become lifetime
murderers for money. Money is the root of so many problems. In the book Rich
Dad Poor Dad, the author Robert Kyosaki tells people the solution for
combatting this lethal problem that has been destroying people in so many ways.
● With money, you can enjoy freedom, something
that every human soul yearns but very few are ready to work for. The
desire for money is not bad it can liberate you. The real bad thing is not to
work hard and smart to achieve and secure it.
● Robert explains the psyche of human beings when it comes to
money, he tells the tale of his two dads, one rich and the other poor. The
reason behind the rich being a rich man and the poor being poor is not circumstances
or education it is the mind. Learning about the mindsets of these two dads is
surely a treat that every reader would enjoy.
● The writer explains the class system of the world and
how each class is different from the other. It tells the reader to go out of
the box and build a life for themselves from which they won’t need many
breaks
● The amount of financial education and literacy
this book gives is something priceless, something that is not taught in schools
and colleges because if people started learning how to use their
money in a way that they’d become rich and free, capitalism would get affected
which is a phenomenon that controls and enslaves people.
● From this book, one can learn the very basic
yet crucial art of money, what it is, how to multiply it, and how to use it in
a way that would give you freedom for life.
“Proper physical exercise increases your chances of health, and
proper mental exercise increases your chances for wealth. Laziness decreases
both health and wealth.” Rich Dad Poor Dad — Robert T. Kiyosaki
