['25, during early-weeks' Ramadan] Ⓜ️ "Awakening within Read's": This book isn't a linear read for me; it's more of a reference text. I find myself constantly revisiting specific chapters and paragraphs, highlighting passages that resonate and scribbling notes in the margins. It's a dialogue with the author, a process of dissecting their ideas and forming my own interpretations. The real value lies in the thought-provoking nuggets scattered throughout, prompting me to delve deeper into the subject matter. While it might not be a page-turner in the traditional sense, it's become an invaluable tool for personal growth and understanding. I appreciate the density of information and the space it provides for individual reflection. It's less about passively absorbing the content and more about actively engaging with it, making it a truly rewarding experience for those who prefer a more analytical approach to reading.

Great for any reader looking to gain an insight into self responsibility - and great for any young Muslim wanting to take responsibility for themselves in the current world. The well written, simple to understand letters allow your mind to open up toward thinking what can a Muslim be in the 21st century? And also creates a self awareness within which you understand that you can either accept what the author thinks or reject it based on your own individuality. An insightful short read which provides a refreshed perspective on Arab and traditional thinking. Ghobash encourages the reader to apply their mind and grapple with many pressing issues presented in the text, allowing one to ponder on common tough and controversial questions and develop one's own unique perspective on the matters.
