Khurram Murad is one of those writers who makes difficult things simple to understand. His words touch hearts. His first-ever book that I read was The Way to Qur'an, it would make anyone fall in love with this Perfect Guide called Qur'an.
In the Early Hours, generally talks about the benefits of waking up a little before fajr prayer when the rest of the world is sleeping. Because at this hour Allah subhana wa ta'alahu descends to the nearest heaven and asks His servants, "Is anyone praying that I may answer him? Is anyone seeking forgiveness, that I may forgive him? Is anyone asking, that I may give to him?', and this continues until dawn. (Tirmidhi.)In the Islamic faith, it is believed that any du'a made at this hour with sincerity is never rejected.
This book is a collection of inspirational advice on the subject of spiritual and self-development. He explains how a Muslim should live his life, seeking pleasure of Allah by keeping up with His commandments and at the time, playing an active role in the society. It negates the notion that if you're a practicing Muslim, you must disconnect from the world and just stay busy worshiping God.
In his simple manner, he outlines the methods and instruments which must be used in the attainment of our ultimate goal.
The book is divided into seven chapters. It begins with a brief introduction regarding what should be our role in life, then he explains the Process of Self-Development; laying emphasis on the importance of accepting responsibility,making genuine effort, building a strong will power,making the best use of our time and solely relying upon Allah subhana wa ta'alahu.
In the other chapters he has stated the importance of various forms of worship starting with dhikr and then proceeding to Salah and so on. Through examples and Qur'anic verses he explains how we can improve our worship and strengthen our bound with Allah. The book ends with making our life objective and being ready to meet our Creator.
The simple language of the book and summary at the end of each chapter makes it too easy to understand and follow, highly recommended for every Muslim.

In The Early Hours by, Khurram Murad is number nine on my list but is actually the third favorite book in my Library after the Quran. It is also one of the shortest of books, only 145 pages. In The Early hours is the book that sparked my focus on self and Spiritual Development. I re- read it several times a year. It is a reminder of our purpose in this life. It gives you a practical guide in beginning a life of spiritual development. I say life, because I believe it is a life long journey. It reminds you of what is important, the relationship we should have with Allah and his creation, and reflecting and pondering on the day when we will be no more. Prophet Muhammad encouraged people to think about death often, he said it humbled them and was a way to soften hearts.

‘Do not belittle even the smallest act of kindness, even if it were no more than a netting your brother with a smile and cheerful face.’ It will not cost a penny to say a good word but so miserly have we become what we are not even prepared to utter a word of kindness, praise and encouragement. It will make a lot of difference to our spouses, siblings, neighbors, Muslim or non Muslim"
This book was an amazing collection of inspirational advice on the subject of spiritual and self-development. It's a very short book on the muslim life and actions, a step-by-step lesson divided into seven chapters. I was written very friendly and not hard to understand, the simple language of the book and summary after each chapter was great.
It was very useful too in the matter of aspects that I've wanted to research but haven't done so yet. In under 150 pages it has taught me so much I didn't know, taught me some things I knew but needed clarification on, and also taught me more on stuff I knew. This might be one I'll return to once a year during Ramadan.

“Now is the time to commit yourself to Islām and to become sincere. You must ensure that your whole life is based on spending for the cause of Islām by giving your time, attention, heart and mind - utilising the faculties of speaking, writing, reasoning and intelligence that Allāh has bestowed on you for the establishment of His Dīn”.
this book is written after a series of lectures where naseeha is given on the subjects of spiritual n self development, which i found was rlly helpful in refreshing ur outlook on life, the worldly n the otherworldly. felt like sitting through a much needed friday khutbah.
O Allāh, I ask You for a soothing life after death, and I ask You for the pleasure of looking upon Your Face and for the yearning to meet You, free from suffering distress or from trial that leads one astray. O Allāh, adorn us with the ornament of faith and make us guides and rightly guided.

Fantastic tazkiyah book. I took away one star because the title had me thinking there would be a focus on Fajr and Tahajjud, but there are only a couple mentions of them. Otherwise it’s a pretty straightforward tazkiyah book - well organized and well written, mashaAllah.

Love every line of this book. Ustadh Khurram Murad was a prolific writer and this book is another one of his best works,

Great Book!
I loved this book since it is short yet effective at getting to think about our spiritual hearts. It had many hadiths I had not studied before so it felt like it was approaching the status of one's faith from a new perspective. It was enjoyable and a book I look forward to re-reading in the future.

September 19, 2023I remember picking this up as a kid and not understanding too much but there was a scene where he puts berries in his kids porridge and that was life changing for me. I must reread as an adult lol

Picked it up, read it at the right time. This book is not your typical self development book.
Reading this help me realign my ultimate goal in life. Honestly sometimes I feel overwhelmed, life is moving too fast and I kept on questioning myself, do I have enough time?
Coping is damn hard I would say, but still I have to go on as I am responsible for myself.
This book taught me a valuable lesson. When a muslim put his or her ultimate goal to meet with Allah swt, the rest in this life will fall into place.
Now I understand why some of us seems to have smooth sailing life compared to others. When you put Allah first in everything, all else will follow.
The author emphasize on the importance of practicing Islam way in every aspect of our life. A Muslim does not limited to praying 5 times a day, fasting, zakat, doing their umrah or Hajj but it is more than that.
When we really understand Allah position in our life, we will try our very best to be Ihsan. No matter how hard or tough the journey is, we will strive to do our best. And what matter most, Allah knows our struggle and these struggles doesn't just go down the drain but Allah will give us rewards ❤️ for each one of them.
Reading this book gave me solace and hope. It's soothing and calming at the same time.
4.5🌟 read for me as I feel the contents arrangement can be improved. Personally I think that some of the contents if written in table form or charts can give better understanding to the readers.
I would recommend this book to just anyone especially those who are trying to improve themselves better everyday. Improving is a process and the most important thing is that we keep on trying 💪

A book of wonderful reminders. It made me be more mindful in the acts of my worship and inspired me to continue growing for the sake of Allah. It inspired me to start a meaningful program of self accountibility by putting the questions we will be asked on the day of judgement into practice on a daily basis:
1. In what pursuits and work do I spend my time on?
2. To what ends do I use my mental and physical energies?
3. By what means do I earn my wealth?
4. How do I spend my wealth?
5. How far do I act according to what I think is right?
Although, I found some of the translations in the book to be a bit odd. Like the use of the word “niggardly” to translate ayah’s when there are so many other words in the English language that decribe the same meaning of “being stingy”. Especially when a word like that can so easily be misinterpreted to mean something offensive. And there were some reminders that I found to be overwhelming when the word “must and should” were used with them. This is because for someone like me who is constantly trying to grow, acting on all of the things in one go can lead to me feeling guilty for not doing them all at the same time. Must and should felt heavy in that section. I also want to acknowledge that the author is not a native English speaker so I can see why it felt this way. Having said that, it’s clear the intention behind all his words is to inspire us to do good, so I’m grateful for this work.
Overall, this is a very spiritually uplifting book. I would recommend.

This book was just what I needed to help me reconnect with my purpose. It takes you on a journey on how to discover yourself in relation to the deen and gives some useful advice linked to the Quran and Sunnah. It's filled with gems, encourages some deep self reflection and is easy to read. A must have on the shelves of every Muslim household.
July 27, 2021
A must-read for all Muslims. It’s so motivational and everything is written simply and is v easy to understand. The author gives advice on how to improve yourself without being harsh or judgmental. Honestly everyone can benefit from this book imo and I’ll definitely be re-reading, Allah bless this author :))

The title is not reflective of the book contents. As the blurb and blurb title say this is collection of (quite generic) spiritual and self development.
The part I appreciate the most is when the author includes hadeeth and sayings from ulama' that I am not really familiar with.

Loved that this offered practical steps to take on spiritual development. It also provided how to implement love for Allah and build a personal connection to faith.

Full Review
In Islam, spiritual growth is tightly connected to self development and as such, Murad (May God grant him goodness in his grave) sought to teach us how we can utilize the energy we get from our worship, in our everyday life as well as growth. That’s the most profound characteristic of this book. We tend to think of our acts of worship as separate and peculiar to the times we are performing them but the admonition and tips given in this book debunk that notion. How we approach our acts of worship feeds greatly into our approach to life, and Vice versa.
The most comprehensive goal of a Muslim of course, is the desire to attain paradise so do we ensure we keep ourselves firm on this goal, avoid falling into performative worship and distractions. In the Early Hours isn’t a just book that points you in the directions of what wrong and what should be but it guides the reader through realistic actions that will help them achieve spiritual and self development on all front.
Time management, how to approach acts of worship, how to relate with Allah SWT and Allah’s Messenger. How to relate with and spend for ourselves and Allah’s creations and most importantly, that we shouldn’t fall into despair when we can’t achieve the “ideal”.
I highly recommend this book
May Allah SWT grant brother Murrad noor, expand his grave and forgive him his shortcomings.

I don't think I've ever read a book that more perfectly encapsulates the feelings of a three-star-book. The book was interesting, thought-provoking, and all-around generally interesting, but I have absolutely no interest whatsoever in reading this again. Perhaps this is just a symptom of my general problem (reading spiritual books without being a member of the religion within), but this book just gets flat-out boring at times.
The main points of this book are all about how to improve one's relationship with God (translated as "Allah" throughout the book), and gives a good guide for general spiritual development, even if it's meant for members of Islam. For someone looking to learn a bit more about the nature and core values of Islam, I'd highly recommend this book; however, the casual reader might not have too much fun slogging through dense and archaic prose.

This book is not written by Khurram Murad himself, the text is prepared by Riza Mohammad taken from spiritual exhortations that were originally delivered in early hours of Summer 1993 just after Sala al-Fajr by Khurram Murad as part of a course entitled Self Development for Islamic Workers at The Islamic Foundation, Leicester.
Nonetheless, it's a great book. It's to the point, concise, comprehensive and impactful. Recommend!

This book is written simply and beautifully for the reader to understand. Love this book. And even though I've read it from front to back i always puck it off the shelf every now and then and read it. For we all at times become forgetful so its always good to reread and remind ourselves of the importance of life and our journey to fulfil it to the maximum and increase our imaan

I read this book last year and forgot about posting, like many other books. In The Early Hours is a collection of advice on spiritual reflections and self-development. This is the first book I've read by this author and I was sad to discover Khurram Murad is no longer with us. May the next part of his journey be easy for him. Riza Mohammed has compiled and edited from a collection of nasiha (advice) series. Delivered by Khurram Murid at a course for young Muslims in 1993. He has summarised each 45-minute presentation to represent a chapter in this book. Adding Qur’an and Hadith to enhance richness to the text.
The book has seven chapters. Each speaking about how to achieve spiritual and self-development. He sets out the goal of a believer and then outlines the methods to meet these goal. The author has an eloquent way of using words. I imagined his tone being soft, making his advice sound sincere.
I loved chapter one 'The process of self-development'. It made me question my goals and my mission in life. I understood I have a responsibility, to try to do better holistically and to have the will power to follow through. I was also reminded to have reliance on Allah because nothing can be achieved without Him.
‘Let us live for Allah. Let us love what He loves and like what He likes; let us dislike what He dislikes and hate what He hates.’ – khurram Murad.
Chapter four was my favourite, ‘Relating to Allah’s Messenger’. I sometimes find myself routinely doing my Islamic duties. This chapter reminded me to be conscious and to follow the sunnah of Prophet Mohammed SAW. As he was not only sent to convey the message, he was chosen to explain it and provide guidance. He provides the essential details, for Muslims to strive to be the best. A powerful reminder.
‘Similarly, let the life of the Prophet SAW live again in our lives. Let his message, his conduct, his goals, be our message, our conduct and our goals.’ – Khurram Murad.
Every chapter ended with a summary and a Duah. It was a beautiful and touching way to close chapters.

#InTheEarlyHours is a collection of inspirational reflections on spiritual and self development from an Islamic perspective. It has seven chapters on the goal of life, the significance of Dhiker, thankfulness and love of Allah, relating to the prophet and so much more. It highlights the beauty of the Islamic values like Sadaq -charity- and obligations of neighbors, of humanity and of animals. .
.
It was very short reading yet very effective. At first I found it simple and maybe for beginners but little do I know it was very enlightening. it’ll make you feel more humanitarian somehow. Highly recommend it especially in Ramadan.💙✨
.
.
* Quotes from the book: “Neighbors have rights, be they Muslims or non-Muslims. The prophet of Allah said: ‘He is not a true believer who eats while his neighbor is hungry’.
* “Remind yourself that engaging in Prayers offers you an opportunity to release yourself from the pressure and tensions of this world. Therefore, cherish the opportunity to remove the shackles and burdens of this world from your shoulders.”
* “We should never consider any charity too small or not worth doing or giving. Even meeting people with a smiling face or giving a good word of encouragement and praise are acts of Sadaqa.”

الكتاب عبارة عن انعكاسات لتطوير النفس من منظور إيماني. يتكون من سبعة فصول مثل استعدادنا ووضعنا هدف الجنة كخطة واضحة ومنظمة، وأهمية الذكر ومعناه، ويتكلم الكتاب أيضاً عن حب الله وكيف نستطيع ان نتخذ سيدنا ابراهيم المثال الأمثل لهذا الحب، ويعزز القيم الإسلامية الجميلة مثل الصدقة وحب الجيران والعطف على الحيوانات، يتكلم الكاتب أيضاً عن دورنا اتجاه الإنسانية والأهل والأصدقاء وأيضا زملاءنا الموظفين. كتاب خفيف جدا وصغير في حجمه ولكن عميق في محتواه ومعناه. مناسب لقراءة رمضانية خفيفة ومفيدة.💙🌙

A very simple and easy to understand book for any muslim to follow, no matter where one stands in their religious commitment.
I must admit I had a perception early on, that the book was going to talk more in the direction of taking advantage of the early morning hours which are blessed for a muslim. It was for that purpose I decided to read this book. Chapter after chapter I waited to see if there maybe some spiritual or practical wisdom regarding it. Alas, it was only in the last chapter where it was briefly mentioned. This however, this did not make this gem of a book any less important.
The book is well laid out with chapters which deals with different aspects of strengthening our Iman and purifying the heart. All advice given is concise and explained well with authentic sources from the Quran and Sunnah. I believe there is no place where the author left a section without presenting evidence.
In the self help genre that is becoming so prevalent these days, I believe this book would fit really well within the Islamic niche of the category. I read the book on my Kindle and regret not being proactive in highlighting some areas for note taking as there are a lot of things you can take.
