The Grand Tour: Quranic Descriptions of Paradise

When a book leaves you a step closer to heaven there's nothing more one has to do but hurry out and tell the world HERE is a book worth your time. Five stars. Bought it for family and friends, makes for a beautiful gift. The book includes references to both Shia and Sunni hadith.

This book takes you through a beautiful journey. It’s an eloquent collection of Quran and Hadith that takes the reader on an emotional tour of Paradise. It makes an excellent gift. I highly recommend this book.

Writing style is easy for anyone to follow. Presents knowledge not many of us knew about the depictions of heaven and practical methods on how to better ourselves for this ultimate goal.

It's an excellent book that gives you a deeper understanding of Paradise... Can't recommend it enough...

I’ve been reading it during Ramadan and I love it! Beautifully written.

Appreciated the organization of chapters.The Exsistence of, Path to, Material & Spiritual Blessings of, and Gates of Paradise.Discussions of Qur'an taken from, "credible sources of the Shi'a literature" and is said to have, "refrained from imposing personal opinions over the Qur'an."Preferred more detail on sources used i.e. footnote descriptions. Qur'an commentary sources referred to were left un-named, i.e "Some commentators." Other sources were referred to as, "Islamic mystics," which left the reader wondering. There were also hadiths listed without a source with parenthetically added names (i.e pg 22, Fatima). Perhaps the writer was only writing to a specific audience?

Issues related to life and hereafter are greatly debated by many Muslims. It is often difficult to understand collectively what awaits. You can grasp at segments but this beautifully written book allows the reader a grand tour of Paradise by organizing and explaining the subjects. This book allows that glimpse of understanding and love the Creator has for his creation. After reading the book there is a rush of awe for the Lord of the worlds, whose generosity is limitless.

One of the most amazing books I have read in my life. I found the explanation of something very complex simplified with references. I highly recommend this book as the topic applies to many religions, not just Islam and it is good to see an Islamic perspective on heaven according to the religious books.

One of my favourite books ever!
