Misi Bebas Hutang - Mohd Zulkifli Shafie

A very good book. Highly recommended either for those just starting in life or half-way through it! Good practice in financial management and getting out of debt. For those who yearn for a debt-free life..this book is a must-read.

Points to learn:

• learn to identify needs and wants
• live below your means (..not within your means)
• settle your debts, don't make new ones (..except for positive debts)

Sejarah Daulah Umawiyah & Abbasiyah - Dr Ali Muhammad Ash-Shallabi

Supposedly an historical narrative of the Islamic era after the demise of our beloved Prophet Muhammad SAW. To the uninitiated, there is a lot of names and places. To make matters worse, many a times two different individuals may have the same name (the only hint would be the father's name). Thus, it's a "complex and mind-boggling" effort. But to those who are well-versed with the Islamic history, it should be like a refresher course. 

Points to learn :

• the post Prophet Muhammad SAW era has been a trying time with power struggle and deviation teachings
