A book written with a lot of love. I have been waiting for its release for a while, and Alhamdulillah, I was able to finish it today. Beautifully written, with an exceptional grip that keeps you reading it until you finish. May Allah accept this lovely work from sister Fatima. I pray that Fatima gets to meet Mother Aisha in Akhirah and tells her about this beautiful book :)
