A Journey Through Betrayal and Back is like holding the hand of someone who truly understands what it’s like to have your world cracked open by someone you trusted. It doesn’t rush you or drown you in bitterness. It walks with you through the sadness, the questions, and the slow, tender steps toward healing. This book doesn’t just tell you that peace is possible, it quietly proves it, page by page, until you start to believe it for yourself.

A Journey Through Betrayal and Back by Sharifah Nadirah
This non-fiction book explores the theme of betrayal in life, beautifully intertwined with the story of Prophet Yusuf (Joseph) a.s. It serves not only as a reflective read but also as a gentle guide on how to understand, endure, and eventually heal after being betrayed.
The book is structured into three main stages:
1️⃣ Understanding Betrayal – Explains what betrayal is, who causes it, why it happens, and how it affects us.
2️⃣ Responding to Betrayal – Discusses how we should respond wisely, seek help, and face it with faith and composure.
3️⃣ New Direction After Betrayal – Once understanding is achieved, readers are guided to move forward with clarity, growth, and purpose.
What makes this book special is how it draws tadabbur (reflection) from the life of Prophet Yusuf a.s. — focusing on his response and strength when faced with betrayal and hardship. It also includes affirmative letters, heartfelt prayers, and touching poems, which I personally loved. These parts make the reading experience deeply emotional and relatable.
For future editions, it might be nice to see some illustrations or quote boxes highlighting the most profound lines. But truly, this is a book to read slowly, reflect upon, and underline the sentences that speak to your soul — that’s what I did. It offers endless moments for self-reflection and emotional healing.
Summary:
A Journey Through Betrayal and Back is a heartfelt, reflective guide that helps readers understand betrayal, respond with faith, and find healing afterwards, inspired by the story of Prophet Yusuf a.s. It’s not just a book — it’s a journey of emotional and spiritual growth, reminding us that every wound can lead to wisdom, strength, and peace.
