Time is like a sword if we didn’t cut it, it will cut us down, therefore keep on reading a lot’s of selected books and keep on improving ourselves- emotionally, physically, spiritually, mentally- to make sure that we would’nt be cut down anymore ( I did not remember how many times I have been cut down by the ’sword of time’ )

Read, read and read..Malaysian readers in average only reads 13 books per years! OK, so much of others and turn back to our ownselves.

2) Ma’alim As-Suluk Lil-Mar’ah Muslimah by Al-Habib Ali Jufri: A must read for Muslimah. A very good book for spiritual upliftment. It is compilation series of lectures and lessons which has given at Zayed University for women compilled by the Department of Da’wah in the Society of Renaissance of Woman in UEA.

From: www.rumibookstore.com ( I have tried to find the cover based on it actual book in Arabic, but it is nowhere to seen. I tought i have found it somewhere in the sites but not remember where, so this is the translation cover of the remarkable book )

‘Wayfarers to God’ (Ma’alim as-Suluk) is a translation of a series of Arabic lectures given at Al Zayed University for Women, in the United Arab Emirates. Equally relevant to men and women, these lectures will accompany and support the reader on their own journey to God.

"At the very moment that you are reading these words, you may recognise that the Fashioner and Shaper is in fact calling you to His precincts. He is sending you words like these so you may approach Him and do so with longing. What approaching God and seeking His presence means is that Al-Haqq (The True One) has placed within the heart of His servant, within your heart, an impulse and an eagerness to approach Him, a yearning to be near Him, and a fear of Him which make you reflect upon your state with God. Thus you may realise that God has created you from nothingness and has honoured you with all kinds of munificence and generosity, and that He has distinguished you and placed the universe at your service"

3) Risalah kepada Pesakit by Badizuzzaman Said Nursi: A Turkish friend have gave it to me as a gift before she left to her hometown.( Ebru, thanks a lot! ) If you want to discover the whole wisdom behind why we are feeling sick just read this book. The are thousand of wisdom of why we are feeling sick.

4) Al-Muwafaqat fi Usul As-Syariah: Read it through all the pages without missing one page if you want to understand the meaning of Bidaah and Maslahah etc from the view of As-Syatibi. But make sure you if we want to read it in Arabic text we have a mu’tabar Syeikh to guide us or we have fully equip with Arabic tools language. Most of all, remember what you read is based on the opinon of As-Syatibi merely, therefore,do not judge it as a whole opinion of Jumhur ulama’  ( Majority of the Scholars ).

5) Kitab Syarah Hikam li ‘Ibn ‘Athaillah: Either the translation or the actual text in Arabic as you please. Tahqiq and syarah by Sayyid Hawa: Read it to know your RABB and yourself. To make it precise the language of this kitab is kind of high in someways, therefore if we want to really understand it deeply and thoroughly go and learn it from the Syeikh. ( Off topic: Tomorrow Syiekh Fahmi Zam-Zam will discuss on this Kitab at Anjung Rahmah after Maghrib inshAllah.)

6) The Other Side of the Sky,A Memoir by Farah Ahmedi with Tamim : Originally published as The Story of My life An Afghan girl on the Other Side of the Sky. I just got to read it from my Indonesian’s mate book, a light reading yet very inspiring!
 " Very Compelling. here you have a girl, a child who suffered her own disability, [ and] the loss of her family and her homeland. She’s taking care of her aging mother and adapting to this new culture, and she’s bright, shining light in the world…Very Moving."- Mary Karr, New York Times bestselling author.

7. Gerakan Freemasonary, Orientalisme dan Kristianisasi by Hj. Nik Azran Muhamaed and Hj. Mohd mahadi Hj. Isa: Only read it throughly half  of the book since just borrowed it from my sahabah who recently come back from Egypt. A good book for the introduction of the three set of ideologies.
