About the Author: Omar Suleiman
Shaykh Omar Suleiman is a well-known Islamic scholar, speaker, and the founder of the Yaqeen Institute for Islamic Research.

Why This Book Matters
There are so many books instructing us about how to fear Allah but far fewer discuss about being loved by Him. Throughout this book, Suleiman turns this entire thing upside down. Induces us to inquire one significant question: What is there for me to do that would make me become someone who Allah loves?
Each chapter responds to that question by dealing with a specific quality or deed. The themes are derived from clear references within the Qur’an and hadith. Providing reassurance and confirmation that these indeed are dear to our Creator. This book is not theoretical but very practical and invites daily introspection and transformation.
Structure and Themes
The book has 30 chapters, making it perfect for reading on a daily basis over a month, particularly during spiritually special moments such as Ramadan. All the chapter headings start with “Allah Loves…” and the subject or category being addressed, e.g. Allah Loves the Repentant, Allah Loves Those Who Rely Upon Him, Allah Loves Those Who Are Just and Allah Loves Those Who Do Good.
Allah Loves Those Who Are Humble
Suleiman utilizes every theme to unpack a verse, a hadith, or a narrative of the Prophet ﷺ or his companions. He then extracts moral and emotional lessons from them, leading readers towards change not only in conduct, but also in attitude and spiritual stance.
Practical and Reflective
One of the most gorgeous things about Allah Loves… is the way that it inspires action. It doesn’t overwhelm with rules or legalistic detail, but instead challenges the reader to think, feel, and act in a manner that draws them closer to Allah. For instance, the chapter on repentance doesn’t just tell us about its importance it demonstrates how Allah loves the one who returns to Him, even after sin.
This positive emotive coloring allows believers to form a optimistic connection with their God. It assures them that Allah’s love is broad and inclusive, not exclusive to the perfect, but for the sincere.
Universal Appeal
The simplicity and depth of the book make it suitable for readers of all levels—from youth exploring Islam to long-time students of knowledge. It is written in a conversational tone that is easy to follow without diluting its meaning. Every chapter can be read in a few minutes, but the thoughts linger for much longer.
This accessibility is one of the book’s strongest points. Whether you’re looking to read a chapter before bed, during your commute, or as a family reflection, Allah Loves… offers immense value in a short amount of time.
Highlights from the Book
Here are some standout themes from the book:
Allah Loves Those Who Are Tolerant
Suleiman highlights the significance of gentleness and forgiveness, particularly in an era where cruelty is commonly equated with strength. He cites the example of the Prophet ﷺ to demonstrate that tolerance in transactions, particularly in domestic and commercial matters, is a means to Allah’s love.
Allah Loves Those Who Are Just
In a world where injustice abounds, holding on to justice is an act dear to Allah. This chapter reminds people that Allah loves those who stand by the truth no matter how hard or unpopular it is.
Allah Loves the Patient
This chapter invites readers to adopt patience, not passive resignation, but active faith in Allah. It’s an appeal to remain steadfast in trials and to view adversity as a pathway to nearness to Allah.
Allah Loves the Grateful
Suleiman shares how gratitude, if done sincerely, turns into a magnet for additional blessings. It’s not an emotion it’s a lifestyle showing our consciousness of Allah’s mercy.
A Book of Hope
One of the most profound impacts of Allah Loves… is that it can stimulate hope. During an era when many Muslims are bogged down by their faults, the book reminds them that the door of Allah’s love is always available. He loves those who attempt, despite failing. He loves those who concern themselves with others, pursue knowledge, work hard in sincerity, and preserve modesty and humility.
This is a powerful message for anyone wrestling with feelings of guilt, doubt, or unworthiness. This book is a spiritual reboot that takes the place of fear and shame with faith and desire.
Teaching Tool and Gift
Due to its format, Allah Loves… is also an excellent teaching tool. Parents can read it with their kids, youth groups can study it in study circles, and individuals can utilize it for personal journaling. It also serves as a useful gift for new Muslims, teenagers, or anyone wishing to rekindle their faith. Its soothing tone makes it especially useful for those investigating Islam or healing from a bad religious experience.
Conclusion
Allah Loves… by Omar Suleiman is a treasure of a book that reminds us what really counts in our journey to Allah. In thirty brief and poignant chapters, it teaches us that God’s love is not only for saints and scholars, but for anyone who genuinely seeks it. The book is a call to reflection and reform, not just by fear, but by love for Allah and hope for His love for us in return.
Whether you’re just starting out on your spiritual journey or looking to enrich it, Allah Loves… provides enduring reminders and doable steps to draw closer to the One who made you.
