    This was an ok book but not one I’ll be raving about, it was a bit bland for me.

  7. Vansh Sarraf

    Not my cup of tea. I struggled with the allegorical style. Couldn’t finish it.

    A beautiful poem, but some parts were a little difficult to understand. Still worth the read!

    The Islamic doctrine was new to me. Though I learned some thing new, the concepts felt complex.

    The allegories were thought-provoking, but I wish the characters were more developed. Good overall.

  15. Meet Dipakkumar Modi

    The wit and wisdom were amazing! Some parables were a bit obscure.

  16. Somnath Malik

    I enjoyed the journey but found it somewhat slow-paced. The spiritual themes were interesting.

    A good book, I felt it was slow to read but a great insight into Sufism!.

    This book was a bit confusing, I would not read it again and didn’t enjoy it.
