The Day of Resurrection - Dr 'Umar S. al-Ashqar

 

The series and author that never disappoints the reader. Potrays the chaos and confusion during the end of days. Clearly depicts the trials that disbelievers endure and the blissful serenity that the pious & believers are rewarded. 

Points to learn:

• the world of seen and unseen is true. The very basis of science is also based on many hypotheses, in other words, the unseen but yet the need to believe because all evidence strongly endorses its existence. Similarly, in Islam, the truth is undeniable.

Reader's Digest - October 2010

Believe it or Not! This is an unread issue dating back to October 2010! That's me..guilty as charged. There is a Japanese term for people who have the habit of hoarding lots of unread books. It's called tsundoku (careful there..not sudoku). Buying and as always the initial plan is to read it immediately. But ends up in a far corner of an elegant mahogany book rack..for years. Waiting for the right moment for a saviour to free it from the relentless attack of dust and silverfish.

..And that saviour was me. At least for this RD issue. The eye-catching front page got the best of me. The rest is history.

Reader's Digest November 2020

 

Your regular, "friendly" magazine. Interestingly, in this issue my "Letter to the Editor" was chosen. And I finished reading this issue during my hospital stay recently. Well, it's true that a good book in hand is a good company in solitude.

The Messengers And The Messages - Dr 'Umar S al-Ashqar

 

I have to admit that books written in Arabic language, especially published by International Islamic Publishing House, has a wealth of knowledge. You'd be amazed at the manner of presenting complex abstract issues in simplistic, most understandable way. At least, any lay-person, would be able to appreciate the religion that we call Islam.

Points to learn:

• what may seem crystal clear to you, may be otherwise for another

RESET - Suflan Shamsuddin

 

Never imagined would enjoy reading book on politics. The author presented his case very systematically and to finally closing it with an idea. An idea or solution to be exact in order to progress politically and economically as one. As Malaysian. Read it!

Points to learn:

• reading actually "dissects" the mind of the writer and very often it is entirely a new thought (..that never crossed your mind)
