Nearness To You by Nur Fadhilah Wahid (Softcover)
Language: English
This book is a collection of the author’s personal reflections on her spiritual journey of getting close to God. The stories and reflections in it are all derived from moments with people whom the author believe are close to Him; or in the rare moments where the author herself felt a perceived nearness to Him and His Messenger SAW.
The stories and reflections are accompanied by pictures that the author took throughout her spiritual journey from across the world, each meant to highlight the point of the story of the chapter.
At the end of reading this book, readers will find that their faith will be reaffirmed and their hearts in awe by Allah’s mercy and blessings; that God has always been near to them, even in ordinary moments of our everyday lives.
Nur Fadhilah Wahid was born and educated in Singapore. Despite her thirst for Islamic knowledge today, Fadhilah hasn't always been close to her religion.
After a series of events changed her worldview, she moved to Malaysia for her bachelor's degree in Mass Communication while beginning to seek Islamic Knowledge, and more importantly, God. Upon graduation, she continued studying in a traditional Islamic madrasah in Singapore before spending a short stint in Dar az-Zahra, Tarim, Yemen. For the past ten years, she has been shuttling between various countries in search of understanding.
Fadhilah currently lives in Singapore doing what she loves best: writing, designing, and collaborating on Islamic projects.
Membaca buku ni menyedarkan saya betapa kasihnya Allah s.w.t., sentiasa memberikan sepenuh perhatian dan perlindunganNya yang tak berbelah bagi walaupun sebagai manusia biasa kita seringkali khilaf. Salah satu hal yang saya suka dalam buku ni ialah penulisan Nur Fadhilah seolah-olah membawa pembaca mengikuti pengalaman dan perjalanannya ke kota Tarim di Hadhramaut, Yaman, kota sederhana yang melahirkan ribuan ilmuan Islam dan pendakwah yang menyebarkan Islam di seluruh dunia khususnya Nusantara.

I heaved a sigh of relief as i was moving from 1 chapter to another because somehow i felt the burden had been lifted off my shoulder. I wept a couple of time for so many reasons as i read between the lines. Sometimes my heart pounded with excitement as i felt the breeze of encouragement infiltrated Inside me. So thank you for all the feelings i’ve felt throughout the book .
