Divine Names: The 99 Healing Names of the One Love
The path to self-discovery and inner and outer peace... Divine Names is a unique contribution to understanding life and oneself on a deeper level: by learning to open to the Divine. It draws on original Arabic literature—often not available in European languages—and on the author’s many years of personal practice, teaching, and guiding others on their spiritual paths to healing, to becoming whole. It focuses on the use of the Divine Names in dhikr, individual meditations and healing practices. Whether we admit it or not, human beings are searchers: we want to understand; we want to know; we want to be known. Our quest may take many forms, yet ultimately it ends in nothing but pure praising of the Divine, even if this comes after our last breath. The outside always furthers the inside because the task and the meaning of life is always about reuniting—about connecting everything on the outside to its inner truth. It is the knowledge of the heart which is always capable of uniting. Such is the path of the Sufis. The Sufi tradition centers on the opening of the heart and nothing touches the heart as much as beauty. In this book, the author’s unique style of writing, which combines clarity and poetic inspiration, is coupled with distinctive and ornamental Arabic calligraphy of each of the 99 Divine Names to make it a visually stunning tribute to this tradition. It will be enjoyed regardless of a person’s religious beliefs.

𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱:
so i tried to annotate this book more this year, and although i was very attached to learn more at a certain point i was overwhelmed with all the information. This book needs a better editor ngl. Cause someone should divide the sections in a handy overview tbh. Nonetheless i believe everyone should have read this book at least once!

𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰:
i tried to make it a tradition to dedicate some time during Sahr Ramadan to study the 99 names of Allah (swt). I feel like this book should be studied on its own pace. the amount of information in it is beautiful but didn’t really quench my thirst to know more. will try to annotate in the book so probably my experience will be a little better.

Really enjoyed this book.
We are humans and as humans we are born to love and beloved in return and that's why he created man and woman to unite and consummate and the wonders of female body to being a child of her own. And this book is amazing to apply in life to heal your inner self and physical self to understand you, yourself and nature. I felt so much in peace reading this book. We exist because of him and we shall return to him one day. The more you love the more you feel that love in nature. It's a unit between a person and nature. Everything is connected. I borrowed this book from the library so I will purchase it to actually understand and use it in my life God willing.

One of the most beautiful books about Divine love, human love and compassion I‘ve ever read!
Books cannot only change your perception of how you see the world, but also how you see yourself and others! Books can change your life and this one definitely did!
