Sifat 20 - Muhammad Isa Selamat

Sifat 20. Saya yakin anda dah biasa dengar dan tahu apa itu sifat 20 Allah. Waktu sekolah..kecik2 dulu dah belajar kan ?

Points to learn:

• ilmu adalah kunci keyakinan
• tanpa ilmu, kita menghampiri kesesatan

Jangan Kata Apa Orang Tak Kata - Dr Muhammad Rozaimi Ramle

A definite eye opener. Controversial. Sensational. No holds barred. That's Dr Rozaimi. A well-known hadith exponent (muhaddithin). Written straight to the point with clear facts. Controversial yes...coz we have been followers but not seekers. Time to change our approach. READ.

Points to learn :

• habits are hard to break
• break you must if it is the right thing to do

Points to learn :

• failure..is NOT the end.

Sapiens - A Brief History of Mankind -Yuval Noah Harari

Full of fallacies. One man's imagination (..or delusion ) arising from his childhood and native background. A true atheist and a so-called man of science. Ironically, on the basis of the same argument that Mr Harari derives his "hypotheses", science without any doubt does prove the existence of the supreme being we call God. Or the Muslims..Allah. "The Mind of God" by Paul Davies is one good start for those seeking a solid scientific explanation.

An interesting, rivetting read, nevertheless. Written from the big bang to the origin of man (Big history) to the present day. Highly recommended for the inquisitive minds. Happy reading !

Points to learn :

• science and religion is inseparable
• life as we know simply cannot exist by chance (scientifically)

Rating : ✮✮✮✮
