This book has been sitting in my book shelf for a long time, when i finally decided to read it. I thought of reading a chapter, and switching back to an another book. But, I was so mesmerised by the book and its contents that I couldnt help but go on reading this book, Praising Allah and admiring the women who where given the Good News of Paradise in their lifetime.
