Why I Wrote These Three Books About Islam and Purpose

I didn’t start writing books to build a name. I wrote because I needed to speak. I needed to get real about faith, life, and what it all means. That’s how The Purpose of Life came to life. That book was me opening my chest and letting it all out. The doubts. The pain. The turning point. The truth.

Before writing anything, I had already been talking about the purpose of life for over two and a half years on my podcast. It’s a topic that never left my mind. The closer I got to my 40th birthday, the more serious it became. Not just a question anymore — but something I had to answer for myself and for anyone out there who’s been feeling what I’ve felt.

Then came Enlighten About Islam Volume 1: Here for a Reason. I went deeper. This one isn’t just a follow-up. It’s about what it really means to live with purpose. Why we’re here. Why Allah gave us this short life and what we’re supposed to do with it before we return to Him.

The final one in the series is Volume 2: From Dhikr to Forever. This one’s for the heart. It’s about remembrance. About keeping Allah on your mind and in your breath, no matter what’s going on in life. I wrote it for anyone who’s ever felt far from Allah and wanted to come back without feeling fake or judged.

Each book came from a different season of my life. Together, they reflect everything I’ve lived, questioned, believed, and discovered. I’m not a scholar. I’m not here to lecture. I’m just sharing what helped me find peace when nothing else worked.

If you’re looking for something real, something raw, something that helps you reconnect without all the noise, maybe these books are what you’ve been needing.

These weren’t written to impress. They were written to express. To reflect. To remind.

Read one or read them all. Just know they come from a place of truth. And if even one line brings you closer to Allah, then it was worth writing.
