review 1: In this story I have met many people and I can understand their feelings very well…in each page I can see how their feelings and thoughts are really so different and very complicated… while I was reading I wished I can be faster than light to see what will happen next! In the end of the story I felt that all of the feelings were melted in one perfect end.جزاك الله كل خير أم زكية...
review 2: This is the very first English Islamic fiction book I read. I used to read Arabic Islamic fiction books when I was a teenager and I must say I missed the spirituality it gave me while reading them. Hearts We Lost, is a very interesting novel. I literally couldn't put the book down until I was done with it. I find it very captivating to see Islam throu... moregh the eyes of a non-Arab Muslim. I had the pleasure of meeting Umm Zakiyyah a couple of years ago at a friend's house. I enjoyed the talk she presented which led me to look for her books at the book store. Unfortunately, I didn't find them until a colleague at work gave me Hearts We Lost a couple of weeks ago at work and asked me to read it as she felt that I might like it as she did. Umm Zakiyyah, has a very unique way of writing, here words kept me thinking a lot and reflecting on the events that happened to Sharif-the lead character in the novel. Islam is in the heart, this way of thinking changed so many things in how Muslims practiced Islam nowadays. I'm guilty of using this phrase a lot. I never imagined that I would change the way I look at things after reading this book. Islam is indeed in the heart and Allah knows our intention, yet we still have to show our submission to him through our actions and words. She portrayed Muslims nowadays in a way that made relate to the characters in the book on so many levels. I loved the poems she wrote, the verses of Hadith and Qur'an she used in the beginning of every chapter. I'd highly recommend reading this book. I immediately handed the book to my little brother the moment I finished reading it. less
