Description
Book SynopsisLife is not always easy. We face challenges, difficulties and hardship throughout our life journey. These highs and lows are a part of life. Sometimes however, we need that reminder that Allah is always there and these moments of hardship are not punishments but trials from Him to strengthen us, guide us and elevate us….one breath at a time.
Trade ReviewEven though, I haven’t experienced loss of a loved one yet , I was truly humbled reading her book- her words so simple but yet so powerful and soothing . Salatu Sule includes so many verses from the Holy Quran and Hadith , that helped her through this journey of grief . The book offers faith inspired insights about grief and how to build resilience (LetsLearnMama)
Each chapter is very brief, it’s like reading a diary or a long Facebook status, filled with life lessons with relevant verses and hadith (sugarspicewhatevernice)
"One Breath at a Time" by Sister Salatu Sule is a very good read. The challenges of life, the reality, the losses and the way forward! Well written. Maa shaa Allah Tabarakallah I'd recommend it for one and all. Simple, short, well written and beneficial.

One Breath at a Time may be a teeny tiny thing, but it sure does pack a punch! A book about coping with grief and adversity. You might think you don’t need this book because you’ve never lost a loved one or been through a divorce or suffered a life-changing Illness etc, but we all go through testing times and we all try to cope with life’s happenings however we can. This book shows you how to draw on faith for strength and I particularly enjoyed the author’s references to Quranic verses at certain times in her life - it’s clear she’s built a relationship with it to connect so powerfully. We need to be able to do that! (AsmaScribendi)
