This book is based on the profound and heartfelt dialogue from the talk A Step Nearer to God: Crafting Purpose with the Art of Islam, curated by Faith Events, where Sonny Bill Williams opens up about the transformative journey of faith, self-discovery, and purpose that has shaped his life.
Joined by Shaykh Wael, their intimate conversation takes readers into the heart of Sonny's evolution-from world-renowned rugby star to a man whose faith in Islam has become his ultimate source of strength and guidance.
The discussion delves into the concept of purpose as something tangible, practical, and achievable through daily devotion, discipline, and reflection. Sonny also reflects on the powerful hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW), who advised, "Tie your camel, then trust in Allah." (Jami? at-Tirmidhi 2517).
This profound teaching serves as a reminder that while faith is essential, personal responsibility and effort are key in the pursuit of our goals and dreams. The art of Islam, with its emphasis on trusting in God while taking the necessary steps in our lives, becomes a guiding force for anyone striving to find balance, meaning, and fulfillment in today's world.
A Step Nearer to God is a powerful reminder that every step towards God brings us closer to our truest selves. #alwaysAl?amdulillah.
Transcribed and adapted from A Step Nearer to God: Crafting Purpose with the Art of Islam by Sonny Bill Williams and Wael Ibrahim.
