About this book
Tradesmen look at buildings differently, depending on their trade: The carpenter casts an eye on the woodwork, the bricklayer on the brickwork and the painter on the walls and ceilings. Similarly, the greater a person's perception of All?h's names, the greater their alertness and understanding of life. Nothing passes them by, without thought and contemplation.
When they see a display of mercy, they automatically and very naturally reflect on the names of Allah; Al-Rah?m" (The Most Merciful), Al-Ra'?f (The Pitying), Al-Wad?d (The Affectionate). When they sense might and awe, they are overcome with the names "Al-Jabb?r" (The Compeller), "Al-Muntaqim" (The Avenger) and "Al-Qahh?r" (The Subduer). Eventually, they reach a station where every scene that unfolds, any sin which presents itself or any opportunity that drifts by, becomes a trigger for perusal and the remembrance of All?h, the achievement of which is precisely the objective of this book.
