Her book, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.meraqissa.com\/book\/205\"><strong>\u201cLight Upon Light &#8211; Reflections\u201d<\/strong>,<\/a><\/em> was extremely special in the sense that it was to become the <strong>first book based on Islam<\/strong> being published on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.meraqissa.com\">Qissa <\/a>self-publishing. The team was over joyed to have a chance at spreading the message of peace through this book, and helping their community reconnect with the beautiful religion that is Islam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>About the Book:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Light Upon Light was <em>non-fiction<\/em>, and focused on imparting <em>authentic lessons<\/em> that would help us better understand the code of life we followed, and <strong>renew our faith and relation with Allah SWT<\/strong>. The writing itself was exceptional and one of a kind, as it helped the readers tackle and walk through the emotional turmoil of everyday life. Her book took references from <em>Islamic history<\/em>, and through that assisted the reader in finding the right path. It was<em> targeted at those who found themselves at their <strong>weakest<\/strong><\/em>, with no one to turn to but Allah, and encouraged them to take on their trials with <em>patience<\/em> and believe that no matter how broken and damaged they were, they would always be welcome at the gates that lead toward righteousness. It inspired one <em>to <strong>seek out eternal joy in His remembrance<\/strong><\/em>, and improve our deeds for the hereafter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Light-Upon-Light-excerpt.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4042\" srcset=\"https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Light-Upon-Light-excerpt.jpg 700w, https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Light-Upon-Light-excerpt-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Light-Upon-Light-excerpt-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Light-Upon-Light-excerpt-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Light-Upon-Light-excerpt-510x510.jpg 510w, https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Light-Upon-Light-excerpt-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption>Excerpt from Light Upon Light by Ms. Iqra<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Bringing the Book to Print:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/mydaastan\/\">Daastan <\/a>campaigned for the funding required to bring Ms. Iqra\u2019s work to print, and helped raise <em>16,000 PKR <\/em>which took a little more than a month.
