Critic reviews

"In a world filled with noise and distraction, this book is a gentle yet powerful call to return to the Qur'an – not just as a book we recite, but as a way of life. Aliyah Umm Raiyaan invites us to journey through the Qur'an with reflection, sincerity, and heart. Living with the Qur'an is not only a book you read – it's one that changes how you live. A must-have for every Muslim home.

This beautiful book is a gentle companion for anyone seeking to live with the light of the Qur'an in their heart. Aliyah Umm Raiyaan reminds us that the Qur'an is not just to be read - it is to be lived, loved, and turned to in every moment of our lives. May it inspire you to draw closer to Allah one verse at a time."

I truly loved this book. It arrived at a moment when I didn’t even realise my heart was longing for something just like it, an answered dua I didn’t know I had made. Alhamdulillah for Allah’s mercy and perfect timing.

This is a book that speaks to everyone, Muslims and non-Muslims alike, and Quran students at any stage. The author weaves together real stories and personal experiences to offer practical, heartfelt wisdom that stays with you long after you close the pages.

As someone who enjoys personal-development books, I often find that many identify the problem but offer only vague guidance on what to actually do. This book is completely different. Through relatable stories, the author not only highlights the challenges we face but clearly shows how they were navigated in real life. It made the lessons easy to understand, apply, and most beautifully see results from. It was a fusion of personal development enveloped with spiritual growth, which gently pulled me back to reflect on, rely on, and deepen my relationship with my Creator. Alhamdulillah.

I loved that the book is structured with weekly tasks for the entire year, creating space for slow, meaningful, and lasting change. Whether you’re deeply engaged in your Quran journey, just beginning, or simply curious to understand what the Quran is all about, there is truly something here for everyone. A beautiful resource for sisters' circles and book clubs. Or just to be used at home with your family and younger ones teaching them the importance of engaging with the Quran as well as reliance on Allah. 

May Allah SWT bless the author abundantly for this work and accept it from her. Ameen.

This book is a really enjoyable and thoughtful book. It helps the reader feel more connected to the Qur’an and reminds us that it is not only for reciting, but also for understanding and learning from in our daily lives. I found it inspiring because it encourages you to reflect more deeply and motivates you to keep learning from the Qur’an. It is a lovely read for anyone who wants to strengthen their relationship with it
