'' Great, you've made the first move. You want to be in a relationship with your Lord or you already are. But how do you maximise your time in His Glory in silence or in the bustle of the urban landscape?''

Imam Muwaffaq ud-Din, may Allah have mercy upon him, takes the reader through an odyssey of verses from the Qur'an, statements of the Beloved Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, as well as practical examples to equip the reader with the right tools for enrichment of the soul.
