The Truth About Today’s So-Called “Islamic-Fiction”

Hey everyone! Today’s post is extremely long-awaited (for me, anyways). I’ve always talked about Islamic-fiction on my blog and how much it means to me, but I have also talked about how much the so-called “Islamic-fiction” books these days have left me so disappointed. So in this post, I’m going to be going into detail as to why that is so.

Review: The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Brontë

Title: The Tenant of Wildfell Hall

Author: Anne Brontë

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Whilst it does not possess the same fire as Jane Eyre, The Tenant of Wildfell hall was an engrossing and emotional read.

I did not expect to enjoy it as much as I did, or become as emotionally invested in the characters and the outcome of the story. It was a welcome solace in the midst of the academic year.

Life Update! 2023 (studying, reading… writing?)

Hello/salaams everyone! I’m quite ashamed to be reappearing on this blog, over one year later. Honestly, when I scrolled to my last post, I was shocked to realise it had actually been a whole year since I last posted on here. I don’t even know where to begin or what to say, but what I do know – is that this blog is very special to me, and it’s something that I would very much love to revive and continue…

Reclaim Your Heart by Yasmin Mogahed

Title: Reclaim Your Heart

Author: Yasmin Mogahed

Genre: Islam

Rating: ⭐️ DNF

This is a hugely unpopular opinion, but I found this book to be such a disappointment. Despite being a short 182 pages in length, I was unable to finish reading this. Whilst I understand that there is clearly an audience for a book like this, I think without all the drawbacks and shortcomings it has that prevented me from finishing it – it would be a much better and beneficial read. I think it gives a taste of something good, but does not follow through, and could have been so much more meaningful and long-lasting in my opinion.
