I have read the collection and it is beautiful. MashAllah a befitting Diwan from a sincere seeker, from the heart to the heart. A beautiful collection from the heart, felt by the heart. Abbas takes us on a journey of light; an ideal companion to shine through gloomy times.

An Opened Heart cracked me open with its vulnerability and ache for Saqi. Mohamed’s transformative journey of love and devotion for the Divine through desperation and hopelessness resonates with my own meandering path. This book is certain to be a comfort and home to every breaking heart.
