16. “Defining your relationship with
Allah is a task that wavers from
time to time. Belief may be firm
but the fickle human heart loses
sight of what is dearest to
oneself. Keeping in constant
communication with Allah
becomes imperative to the
relationship and is not just
through the five daily prayers but
through each conscientious action
carried out by the believer.”
(Tahmina Sattar)
