South African writer, Saaleha Bhamjee, "I have employed the entire universe to demonstrate in The Beautiful Names the manifestations of 20 of the 99 Names of Allah. Each poem explores a different attribute of Allah, using examples from our everyday lives. The rhyming poems are complimented by stunning full colour illustrations created by the well-known Irish artist, Shirley Gavin. All poems are based on the Qur'an and authentic Hadith."
