In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate.

There are books that inform.

There are books that inspire.

And then, there are books that awaken.

This is not just a book—it is a mirror.

It will not praise you.

It will not flatter you.

It will hold your soul by the collar, look into your eyes, and ask,

“Where are you going?”

We live in a time where the Adhan echoes, but the hearts remain silent.

Where mosques stand tall, but our heads stay lowered to screens.

Where Islam remains perfect…

…but Muslims? Lost. Distracted. Detached.

This book is a cry from the heart. A reminder written in fire and tears.

It begins by showing how beautiful, gentle, and simple Islam truly is.

Then it turns the mirror back toward us.

To the prayers missed.

To the sins normalized.

To the excuses we dress as freedom.

To the Day that is coming—swift, certain, and unstoppable.

But it does not leave you there.

Because your Lord is Ar-Rahman.

Because forgiveness was written before punishment.

Because one sincere tear can erase a lifetime of mistakes.

And because as long as your heart still beats, the door to return is open.

If you are looking for a soft bedtime read, close this book.

But if your soul has been restless…

If your heart is heavy with regret…

If you've been aching to come back to your Lord but didn’t know how…

Then read. And don’t stop until your knees are on the ground and your eyes are wet.

This book will not guide you—Allah will.

But perhaps, just perhaps, these words will lead you to His Door.

And that… would be enough.
