    About this ebook

    Poetry that inspires.

     

    Iman has different shades, different levels. 

    And we all struggle on a climb to its peak, 

    Seeking a reward from The Most High. 

    Every day, we bear the burdens of life, 

    In attempts to light our iman, 

    And rise.

     

    Join S. H. Miah on a lyrical, poetic, and inspiring journey through the shades of iman, and discover gems that will truly change your life.
