What a beautiful book written from the hearts of two authors. Through these words, a reader can feel the love, longing, sincerity and desire for God through His Mercy, His Love, His Patience and His Compassion towards us human. I love that the prayers are crafted in a way that makes it personal. And that the authors allow room for readers to craft their own. MasyaAllah such a lovely sharing and I will definitely reread it again for the upcoming Ramadhan.

This is a long overdue review. Thank you to the authors for sending me a copy of Invoke.

I can feel that this book was written with full of love towards our creator, Allah S.W.T. I loved the concept of this book. A poetry and proses that included 99 names of Allah. This is such a beautiful poetry book.

I fell in love with every word. It's calming. Invoke is not just a poetry but it also contains du'a related to the names of Allah and it helps so much where you can also write your own du'a on the space given.

A simply beautiful poetry book with 99 names of Allah. Such a perfect gift for your loved ones.

Invoke. Its about 99 names of Allah with His meaning.

Each names of Allah, the author will recite the poems to show the readers what is the meaning behind His names.

What i can understand, the author trying to bring the readers how to love yourself, love where you are and trust the process. Trust the process which is mean you may not end up what you are thought but you will end up what is meant to be with you. Everything is as it should be, even if you dont trust with it. It will be okay. You are allowed to rest, recover and reflect with the names of Allah.

Its okay to have a bad day and to make a mistakes, because nothing is perfect more than Allah. Asking for help with Him and remember you are stronger than you think you are.

For Allah, it is Kun Fa Ya Kun ; Be and it is. Never stop believing in Allah. Miracles happen everyday.

Ramadan is the best time for me to indulge this book so that I can feel the closeness of my Creator through His beautiful and meaningful names. Not only this book written with love and sincerity by its authors, they also allows readers to personalised their du’as by referring to the Asmaul Husna and its meanings.

💭 These soul nourishing poems and curated du’as are amazing for those who are seeking for peace and tranquillity.

TQ for such wonderful piece, dear Authors ❤️

At the same time, it gives reminder to us for always seek for Allah. Remember that Allah always there , wherever and whenever you need Him . He always forgive us.

Invoke: Call Upon The Beautiful Names of Allah is a beautiful poetry book that contains 99 names of Allah, each penned with love and devotion. The book is a combination of poetry and prayers that captures the essence of human emotion and connection with God – seeks to unite poetry with supplications (du’a) in a way that can help us reach our Creator.

The book is packed with deep feelings of love and awe for Allah, as well as gratitude for his blessings. Each poem is carefully crafted to be relatable to everyone, and each one contains a message that resonates with the reader. In my opinion, the authors did an amazing job writing these poems from the place of honesty and sincerity, which will make it easy for you to focus on what matters most when you’re reading them.

Each time you read one of Allah's names, you can meditate on its meaning and its relevance in your life – whether you need help with patience or forgiveness or any other quality that is essential for a good Muslim life. The most prominent benefit of this book that struck me, make it as a must-read for every Muslim is in each supplication (du’a) holds oceans of meanings within itself that can be practiced in our life.

Breathing in the verse of 99 names of Allah and meditating on the beauty of the names of Allah and how He is our ultimate source and refuge, Invoke is truly a soothing balm to restless souls. It will help you in your du’a, guide you to find the right names of Allah to hold on to in difficult times and comfort you with peace and tranquility. You will find in this book moments of transcendent beauty, profound wisdom, and uplifting inspiration ❤️

Invoke is a collection of poems and du'as from 99 Names of Allah. With every name and its meaning, I realized that all these years, I didn't fully devour each of these names and find the meaning behind them. Every poem in this book has a deep meaning and gives readers to reflect on themselves after each name. However simple the poem may be, it touches your heart and soul, leaving you longing for the Almighty God.

The authors also included du'as after each poem with a space for our own dua to write it down. The du'as somehow felt really close and personal to my heart, making me fully attached to this book. A bit sad to finish this book as it is so beautiful, poetic, and now has a special place in my heart. If you're looking for something to read this Holy month, this would be a perfect book for you.

Congratulations to both of you for publishing this book and thank you very much for giving me this book in exchange for an honest review.

The needs of the soul are neglected. Spiritual needs go unnoticed. Left aside, an outdated accessory

The soul today is left to collapse and descend into annihilation, taking with it the heart and mind in a downward spiral, into the abyss of despair and conflict - Suma Din

This is a book for the craving soul!

Contains poems respective to Asma Allah. Simple verses but touches the heart that long for connection to the One

What I appreciate most is the du’a attached to each poetry. You can write your own too! Spill yourself here, make this your soul-diary. I have yet to doodle in here 🤭

Also a great gift to family & friends! 🎁

Not much to say but @s.n_writes__ @eshal.writes your words are beautiful!! Thank you for sending me this, may Allah bless. Looking forward to read more from you both!

This is a poetry book that contains 99 names of Allah. Even from the first page of this book, I love it already. It is a very light read for me & whenever I read it, my heart truly feels so calm & peaceful. Each poems have its own specialty. I love the ryhmes when I read poems in this book. Besides, I do feel this book is a success in helping readers to reflect of Allah’s greatness.

Invoke does not only contain poems but it also contains du’a related to the names of Allah. It’s truly helpful for the readers especially those who are in need of preferences for du’a. There’s also blank space for readers to fill in their own choice of du’a. I find it quite interesting. I love all the poems & some of it have become my favourite as it gives me & reminds me of things that sometimes I forget. If you need something to read in Ramadhan that’s coming soon, this book is one of the book that you can read✨

Thank you so much @s.n_writes_ for the review copy & the chance to read one of your work. Also, thank you to @whitecoateffect for sending me this precious book.

A recollection of beautiful poems about the Names of Allah. Simple and beautiful duas that we can perform daily for our loved ones, for our dear self and for the ummah. It’s everything nice packed in here. A great book to gift to your dearest for this Ramadan.

[Nrlhakimin · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’m greeting Ramadhan with this wonderful book of beautiful poems and du’a stemming from the glorious 99 names of Allah. This book is divided into two-part, the first part is composed by Sharifah Nadirah and the second part is written by Nur Syafikah.

They did a fantastic job at creating poems from the 99 names, using familiar scenarios in life and giving us a realistic picture of the Asmaul Husna meanings and how they are always connected to our daily lives- reminding us that Allah is always around and there, his love & care circulating us every moment. However, we sometimes overlook this truth and end up feeling alone and abandoned.

The other astounding element that this book offers is the du’as that are beautifully crafted for us by the two authors. Some du’as resonate strongly with what my heart is yearning for right now. Sometimes, whenever my problems are heavy on my head, my feelings become overwhelmed for me to understand, and I get lost in words about what to ask from Allah. Hence, I am so thankful to find the du’as in this book as they serve as a translator to my overwrought soul on unkind days.

The Prophet saw would often call Allah using His spectacular names. He taught us many duas, and he also elaborated on the significance of the Asma ul Husna.

‎ لِلَّهِ تِسْعَةٌ وَتِسْعُونَ اسْمًا مَنْ حَفِظَهَا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ
Allah has ninety-nine names, and whoever preserves them will enter Paradise. [Sahih Muslim]

🔖 This book is a best reading choice for you especially during the holy Ramadan month.

To be honest, I was a little bit overwhelmed and stressed in the past 2 weeks due to overloaded assignments and some unforeseen events. So I would take a break in between of my work and grab this book as a stress-reliever. Once I started reading this book, I feel at peace 😌 and somehow it assured me that whatever I was going through or what I am going to encounter in the future are within my control, and Allah is with me to give me the strength I would need.

Reading and understanding the 99 names of Allah makes me fall in love with Allah over and over again ❤️ This book reminds me of the beauty and mercy of Allah and His never-ending love to His servants. By reading each of his name, you will realize that He does understand you and He never leave you alone either you are sad, angry, disappointed, happy, tired etc.

Another feature that I like about this book is there is a list of Du'a written by the writers that reflect the meaning of each name of Allah. You can write your own Du'a too on the blank space provided🥰 (swipe to see the example!)
-
When you feel empty inside, don't forget to reach out to Him in whatever means you can, such as making a Du'a to him, performing 'solat sunat' or having this book to read during your short breaks 💖

🌟5 (P/S it was my first poem book! And I am glad it is a great experience to start with this🥰)

Subhanallah99, such a beautiful gem found among the words to discover Allah’s beautiful names.

I’ve always wanted to learn more about Allah’s asmaul husna, therefore this book came at the right time. Connecting with the Almighty by His 99 beautiful names in poems and du’as. In each chapter, you can find the khat of the name with it’s meaning, a poem, a du’a and a space for you to write your own du’a. Simple yet meaningful.

During the night of Nisfu Syaaban last time, a blessed night where Allah accepts the du’as of His servants, I didn’t know what to du’a, therefore I just recite the du’as in the book. My heart felt full.

Even though Invoke looks simple with a poem and a du’a for each name, if you look carefully, the words are written in such a meticulous way and full of emotions, love and hopes. Even I myself might not be able to curate these beautiful lines and rhymes to express my thoughts and feelings.

Bravo to both beautiful souls, Sharifah Nadirah and Nur Syafiqah for this piece of art. Thank you for writing this book and sharing it with the world. If you are looking for a soothing book to get to know Allah especially during Ramadan, this book is calling you. You can get this book from Whitecoat.

"She feared from the world she'll be wiped out,
until God saved her from the blackout

A book that speaks from the heart and seeps into your soul.

When I first received this book, I loved how interactive it was. The poems are like a personal collection of thoughts from the authors herself, and whilst I can't comment on the structure and such, I had loved every page, and in a sense how I can relate to the words from the words that were written. I liked how interactive it is, and that we're provided a section to write in the book. I made it like a journal of some sorts, in my second half of Ramadan and I loved the idea and experience.

Its a book that connects with your soul and very good for ones that are trapped in darkness. Loved it!

Thank you so much to the author for kindly sending me this book as a gift. I will definitely get this for my families as gifts for them as well.

Such a grace and beautiful book. An endless poetries written with the warmth of God's names, the Asma ul-Husna.

The book was separated into 2 parts for each author to express their heart consent into the names of Allah in such mesmerizing and lovely ways. I found that each author presented themselves with their own vibes and ways of poetic rhythms, thus it touched my heart in a bubbly and colorful ways.

For every name of Allah, there were a specifically related do'a written and reading it also should be your prayers to the Almighty as it was intent to fulfill such needs as a lowly human. Also, a blank space were provided for you to write down your own do'a as well. That's convenient and thoughtful!

This was a perfect read for my nights before sleep and whenever I needed some soothing and nice words to keep my heads up!

Congratulations and thank you both authors for such an amazing book!

✨Book Review✨

Invoke by Sharifah Nadirah & Nur Syafikah

Rate: 4 🌟

“Ya Rabb, save me from myself and guide me to the right path.”

I’ve been reciting this dua’ every single day and it is mentioned in this book! I leapt for joy when I came across this dua’ and all the words written in this book are mesmerising and calming.

Written by 2 authors,the poetries are lovely and charming,inspired by 99 beautiful names of Allah. It is a very light reading for me and a good choice to start my Ramadhan with this gem.

The thing I love most about this book is,after every beautiful names of Allah,comes the alluring poetry and dua’ with the blank space for us to write our own dua’!

A simple islamic poetry book with 99 names of Allah but a very heartwarming piece indeed.

Jzk @s.n_writes__ and @eshal.writes for this review copy which is a perfect read in this holy month. I wish you both all the best and hope to read more from you both in future 🤍

Their magical words has brought me closer to HIM; the owner of my heart. The poems and proses made me understand deeper about HIS presence through HIS 99 names- pondering and reflecting it's meaning and reflecting my journey on seeking HIS's mercy through 3 decades of life.

Barakallahu feekum Sharifah Nadirah and Nur Syafiqah 💖

[Umi Humairah · Rating 3 out of 5]

I expected the poems and the du'a to be in relation with the Names, but most of them are created to be felt relatable to the readers and not deeply explored the Names themselves. They're like poems and du'a in a general theme but with the mention of the Names.

It's nice to have a space for us to write our own du'a in each Name, though. And the poems are divided into two parts of the book for each writer. The first part focuses on rhythmic ends while the second part is more free in her style. I personally favour the second part better. All of the poems are beautiful nevertheless.

In a way, this book sparks the curiosity in me to know in depth about the Names of my Lord. To be mere knowing the literal translation is quite narrow, I think, it'd be more meaningful to actually understand how the name attributes to Him — free from our biased aesthetic and purely based on His own standard.
