Umm Junayd's Comment:
This book came to me (not literally) when I was at the lowest peak in my faith. Many trials were occuring at home with my family, at university.. and just as Shaitaan's whispers were getting stronger, a sister showed me this book - what a day that was! It seemed as though the clouds of darkness were never there as all I could see was sunshine.
Mashaa`Allaah, this book is a must-read for all - whether you feel down or not, it's for you. It enlightens you about the many things you should be thankful for and why depression should not even exist.
