BRIDES OF GOD

Women are among the most beautiful creations of God, if not the most beautiful ones. Brides of God by E. M. Hashim is important in that it sheds light on three women mystics, Meera, Teresa and Rabia. In fact this book is righteously accounts of the lives of them who walked on the face of the earth. In his concise book, E. M. Hashim does not attempt to report the details of all the mundane day to day events of the lives of these three women. This would have probably just created incomplete and fuzzy pictures of their lives where the principal message would have been lost or obscured. Instead, the author focuses on poetically portraying what is of substance in the lives of these three women mystics by ever so eloquently demonstrating only the essential highlights in the lives that are separated by enormous cultural, geographical, historical.
