Foreword
By
Sheik Yusuf Estes
Life is an Open Secret is a great chance for all of us to get back in touch with life. Today the expression "life in the fast line" best describes what most of us are going through every day. Everything seems to just run by so quickly we hardly have a chance to reflect on the meaning of it all or even stop to enjoy the fragrance of a rose. It is about time someone came up with a book offering us a chance to get in touch with our spiritual side and offer us a chance to sort out the purpose and meaning behind what we are doing and where we are going. The author, refers to herself simply as Sis Zabrina. She is known to me as both an excellent motivational writer and columnist for both print and online media. Her writings capture the essence of daily life experiences while doing so in a creative and refreshing manner. She reminds her readers of the beauty and simplicity of life while causing us to think and consider what is really happening around us. The simplicity of life is mirrored by her simplistic style in presenting this lovely work. Herself a practicing Muslim, Sis Zabrina offers us the chance to peak into the centuries old teachings of prophets and messengers of Almighty God (Allah in Arabic), the Quran and teachings of Muhammad, peace be upon him.
Life is an Open Secret is not just another book about spirituality or feeling good about life. In fact, this book can be an inspiration for anyone and everyone in today's world. Regardless of religious or social background a person might have, Life is an Open Secret can make a significant difference in how we look at life and more important, how we can benefit from experiences and turn problems into opportunities and failures in life to chances for success.
Life is an Open Secret also appeals to those who are not committed to any particular religious faith. Her style may be considered to be unique as well as appealling to all people everywhere. Life is an Open Secret strongly protrays a cohesiveness of society and brotherhood for all mankind and offers significant solutions to many of today's most serious problems in our everyday relationships. Her unique flow in writing encourages and reminds rather than preaching or admonishing us to join together with others to share in building a better world for our mutual benefit.
Life is an Open Secret can make a difference in the life of anyone who is takes the time to read and reflect on this most timely piece of advice and inspiration. I recommend it for your reading pleasure, enjoyment and spiritual enrichment. My advice to all of us: "Read and reflect." Sheik Yusuf Estes National Muslim Chaplain
