Story4.5 out of 5 stars 835
The Qur'an, believed by Muslims to be the word of God, was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad 1,400 years ago. It is the supreme authority in Islam and the living source of all Islamic teaching; it is a sacred text and a book of guidance that sets out the creed, rituals, ethics, and laws of the Islamic religion. It has been one of the most influential books in the history of literature. Recognized as the greatest literary masterpiece in Arabic, it has nevertheless remained difficult to understand in its English translations.

I love the fact it has intro to every chapter and how the Surah was significant when it was revealed. My go-to Quran translation, so easy to listen to. I have it on repeat day and night. Perfection in every sense of the word. Would highly recommend this translation if you want to ease into understanding the word of God Almighty. All praises to the Lord of all Worlds, the Merciful.

Story5 out of 5 stars 10
Braiding together Western, South-Asian, and Qur'anic storytelling styles, the author illuminates what it means to exist in a world that demands something different from each of her identities. With lyrical prose and scholarly precision, she weaves her personal experiences with incisive social commentary to uncover the meaning of faith and belonging, love and betrayal, family and womanhood. In so doing, she offers us a vision of freedom that isn't measured in fabric.

As the title suggests, I wish I had read this book when I was younger.
Everyone has a story to tell but this one is specially thought out and delivers. Its engaging and cleverly written. Each chapter is apt for every stage in a South Asian Muslim girl/ woman's life.
There were couple of points in this book I didn't agree with but nonetheless it feels as if you're in disagreement with your best friend. (You soon make up).
I really don't want to give away the book too much, suffice to say it's looking through the lense of a feminist Muslima, living in Canada and being raised in a patriarchal society inside and outside the home.
Read this book with an open mind, some of the Quranic concepts expressed aren't new, they've just been well hidden under guise of "non traditional", and "modern culture".
I really think if most non Muslims read Colour of God they would understand alot about us, and the beauty that lies in our beliefs.
I will definitely be rereading it number of times over!
hope you find this review useful (=
