My Top 99 Books
Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Somebody recently asked me what had happened to the booklist I had online, which I realised had inadvertently gotten lost – what better an opportunity to compile another one.  Here, my cherished readers, are my 99 best-loved books!  I love all of these books for their own reasons.  Some of them taught me loads, some taught me just one valuable lesson – a gem so precious that I will cherish the whole book forever!  All of these books have got me to where I am today, and I am so grateful to Allah to live in a time where we have easy access to so much knowledge. I’ve tried my best to categorise them into particular sections, simply because I like to have things in categories! I hope these books can be transformational for you.  At times, just reading the title of a book has transformed me forever – those books have not been listed here though!

The Four Traits of a Cherished Muslimah

Sara’s words penetrate deep

I began seeing the man I married that very evening.

I came to the session thinking it cant help my marriage that drastically but the effects were instantaneous!

I now have the tools to continue making improvements within my marriage, most importantly changes within myself.

Universal Principles

Principles that you can apply to any aspect of your life and relationships not just in marriage!

Nearly on the verge of divorce

Attending this two-day workshop was a memorable experience.

It helped my marriage at a time when it was nearly on the verge of a divorce.

Alhamdulillah, this is 6 years of a peaceful marriage – been married 18 years now.

I’ve come such a long way since my work with you

I was in such a mess with that relationship. I worked through my worthiness, self-love, finding myself and building my relationship with Allah. You introduced me to a whole new world

Sara empowered me to set boundaries, and stand up for myself.

She reminded me about my intentions and goals, and in general to have a much happier marriage and life.

Sara has helped me in so many ways!

By allowing me to feel more empowered, by showing me how to action boundaries,

by helping me to find my self-esteem,

by explaining how other people may be feeling and how to understand this,

by enabling me to do self-care things which are helpful to me.
