Each story comes with a beautiful hand drawn illustration.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA Blessed Olive Tree is a series of short stories that will take you on a spiritual journey. It begins by exploring the reason for our existence, and then it moves on to highlight the reasoning behind the five pillars of Islam. After touching upon \"Shariah\" (the religious law), you will enter the land of \"Tariqa\" (the mystical path) to explore love, loving, and being loved. You will then come across \"Haqiqa\" (the truth), and find answers to some of the queries in your mind. You will finally experience the land of \"Marifa\" (gnosis), and catch a glimpse of the ultimate connection with the Divine. This entire journey is covered in twenty simple short stories.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"A sufi literary masterpiece\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e(Muslim revert and author Adam Hafiz, UK)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"Truly a treasure\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e(Ayanna, Reviewer on Goodreads, USA)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"A wise book\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e(Manar, #7 top reviewer on Goodreads, Iraq)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"perfect for teaching younger readers, and reminder for older readers\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e(Khurram Alavi, #10 best reviewer on Goodreads, UK)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"So inspiring for all Muslims and non Muslims.\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e(Fatima Haleem, #17 best reviewer on Goodreads, Iraq)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"All short stories are based on Islamic facts and taking roots from Quran\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e(Necmi Coban, #45 top reader on Goodreads, Turkey)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"...gave a very deep impact to my heart.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt has been long since I felt so at ease with myself and my thoughts changed.\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e(Sizarifalina Ali, #30 best reviewer on Goodreads, Malaysia)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"After almost each story I felt warmth in my heart\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e(Arezoo Alipanah, #99 top reader on Goodreads, Iran)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"The sequence...oh this is genius.\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e(Shabrina Fadhila, Reviewer on Goodreads, Indonesia)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"...each story containing heartfelt lessons of hope, faith, struggle, success and happiness.\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e(Phi T.
