Desiring Light
ABOUT THE BOOK
Desiring Light is Ameera Aslam’s first collection of poetry & prose. They are about traversing the spiritual path in modern times, grief, hope and God’s Overflowing Mercy.
“The outward tranquility of those who are seeking a spiritual path is something that many wish they could also embrace. But this tranquility does not tell the inner struggles that take place because the spiritual seekers do their work on the inside. Ameera Aslam’s poems reflect this journey.”

These Ramadan Lights
ABOUT THE BOOK
These Ramadan Lights is a collection of 60 poems written on each day of Ramadan over two years.
“It’s a balm to read the reflections of a woman on a Sufi path, living in our times, who acknowledges the complexities of trying to stay heart-centred amid this iteration of the Dunya we inhabit, cold as money, spinning at breakneck speed, flashing constantly with entertainments and horrors, apparently so averse to love.”

Testimonials

Reading Ameera's poems felt like a slap but also overwhelming because I could relate to everything she wrote. At times, I had to skip over certain paragraphs because the emotions were too real, the thoughts too alike, and the pain too raw. An inspiring read for anyone wayfaring to God.

Wonderfully penned, from deep inside the heart. Poetry has always been a great outlet to express ideas, interpret feelings and being absolutely honest at the best way it can be. To keep spiritual seeking relevant is a challenge for this generation. Perhaps many could connect to whatever Ameera is writing.
