Aliyah Umm Raiyaan reverted to Islam in 1999 as a young woman and has been involved in UK dawah for over twenty years. In 2010, she founded Solace UK, a charity that helps women who have reverted to Islam and find themselves in difficulty. In 2019, she launched a YouTube show called Honest Tea Talk, which brought unscripted conversations to the table about raw unspoken topics related to the Muslim community. She continues to devote her time to helping women achieve their full potential whilst emphasising the importance of developing a personal and close relationship with Allah. She lives in East London with her family. She is the author of the Sunday Times bestseller Ramadan Reflections and The Power of Du'a.
'Du'aa or supplication is one of the cornerstones of worship in Islam. Almighty Allah wants us to worship Him by calling out to Him, asking Him, seeking His help and even begging Him. He creates a situation of helplessness or just a simple need in our lives to give us the opportunity to reach out to Him. This must be done in the correct way. The way taught by the Prophet Muhammad pbuh. This book teaches us what we need to know about Du'aa and supplication; the correct way and the ideal wording. I believe it will be of great benefit to those who want their doors flung open by Allah. It empowers us in a unique way in this topic. May Allah Almighty bless Aliyah Umm Raiyaan and accept her effort. May He guide us to worship Him the way He wants and accept our supplications. Aameen.' * Mufti Menk *
