Distill

There are probably plenty of who have already recommended this book, but I just wanted to share my own thoughts and my experiences with reading this book as to why I think this book should be read by everyone and anyone that has an interest in the spiritual aspects of Islam.

I reflect on my unexpected journey through Elif Shafak's "The 40 Rules of Love." Let's be honest—Rumi and Shams of Tabriz aren't just figures from history; they're profound inspirations for British Muslims and seekers of spirituality today. Maybe it's the allure of Sufism that draws us in, or perhaps it's the timeless wisdom that resonates in our modern lives.

As I delved into the intertwining stories of Rumi's transformation and his friendship with Shams, I found myself captivated—unable to put the book down for days. But it’s not all smooth sailing; the outer narrative can feel tedious and brings some controversial themes.
