Benefits from effective reading..

Most of us read books.One fast reader can read a novel in five hours but the fastest I did was five days.I can't put the book down.It was The Da Vinci Code and The Remains of The Day.

By the way,yesterday I completed reading a collection of lectures entitled Liberating The Soul(Vol 1).I took almost five months to read and reflect on the teachings and words of wisdom of Shaykh Nazim Adil Al- Haqqani.The contents were soul searching and I thank Allah swt for allowing me to discover this gem of religious discourse.The biggest lesson that I learned is about making our heart pure so that when we return to Allah swt, we shall have Qalbu Saleem.

One of the techiques to benefit from one's reading is to make notes as we read and after I completed reading the book,make a list of what I can do to impove myself spiritually.

AFAIK,this book is not avail yet at local bookshops.I bought it at Wardah Bookshop,near Masjid Sultan in Singapore.InsyaAllah, I plan to go to Singapore before the year ends to get the 2nd Volume. There are six volumes altogether.
