Thirty Lessons for Those Who Fast

by عائض القرني

This book contains the most pertinent Quranic verses, authentic hadiths, delightful poetry, and touching advice on fasting. It is a book for the righteous when they meet for pleasant conversations. It is also a gift for wayfarers when they break their journeys for rest, a treasure for those who share mutual love and respect, I.e. when they assemble for picnics. It is, in addition, an asset for counselors in their lectures. Indeed, the teacher will benefit from it, the orator will turn to it, and the imam of the mosque will find it rewarding to read.

Reviews

[Mariam · Rating 4 out of 5]

Highly recommend, however I feel it could have been improved with careful proofreading and a more current translation of the Qur'anic verses as opposed to the use of very old English which could be off-putting for a lot of readers looking for an easy to read form of motivation during Ramadan.

[Tauseef Khan · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book looks at different aspects of Ramadhan and how best we can reap the rewards from them. Highly recommended light read for your Ramadhan reading lists!

3.5/5
I really liked this book. It has thirty chapters, all of them reminders and lessons for a fasting person. It includes Qur'anic references and hadith and poetry. The author is quite eloquent. I found some repetition in this book. Overall, good, effective book.

I think this is the second book I've read by Al Qarni, and he's truly a passionate writer.
