On Books

Books and books upon books...

Although I've had this love of books since I was small, there are just some books that elude my interest. God knows how hard it is to find the motivation to start such a one.

The problem mostly lies within. I know that. And the problem always resides with actually gaining enough momentum to START. Imagine me... Who is, as some of you knows, a "lintah buku", finding it hard to start reading. Kinda weird init?

Ayat-Ayat Cinta

I've just read the novel Ayat-Ayat Cinta.

The verdict?

DAYYYM GOOD!!! (I hate "thumbs up" comments. They're so lame...)

Review (in Malay)

Uniknya novel ini ialah sang penulis, Habiburrahman El-Shirazy, menyisipkan ayat-ayat al-Qur'an dan hadith yang berkait rapat dengan peristiwa yang sedang dilalui. Di sinilah pembaca dapat melihat keindahan Islam yang terlaksana. Pembaca juga terdedah kepada aplikasi al-Qur'an di pelbagai situasi. Inilah yang menambah rencah dalam sebuah "novel pembangun jiwa".

Penulis juga menulis dari perspektif watak utama itu sendiri. Iaitu dengan menulis dengan gaya first-person. Dari awalnya hingga ke akhirnya terlihat peristiwa-peristiwa yang berlaku menurut sudut pandangan Fahri. Watak utama yang merupakan idealnya seorang lelaki Muslim.

Fahri merupakan seorang pelajar Andonesy (Indonesia) yang habis hafal 30 juz, menuntut di Al-Azhar, juga menuntut Qira'ah Sab'ah dari seorang sheikh yang terkemuka. Tapi tu semua tak penting. Yang menjadi teras citer nih adalah kehidupannya. Kehidupan ideal kita manusia yang seperti kita, yang seeloknya tegas berpegang pada prinsip. Terlihatlah bagaimana beliau mengharung kehidupan sebagai pelajar. Bagaimana beliau menghandle suasana yang perlukan kefahaman Islam sebenar.

Indahnya ketika beliau dengan akhlak yang begitu menjaga nilai-nilai Islam. Indahnya ketika beliau berinteaksi dengan tetangga. Indahnya cinta beliau setelah melangkah gerbang perkahwinan. Indahnya dan utuhnya nilai ukhuwwah pabila beliau dilanda ujian yang begitu menduga. Begitu indah sekali penulis menggambarkan suasana hidup bila Islam diamalkan sepenuhnya. MasyaAllah...

Sepanjang cerita Fahri bertemu dengan pelbagai ragam manusia. Dari jiwa yang sama dengannya inginkan kebahagian yang ada dalam lembayung Islam, hingga ke jiwa yang runtuh; rosak lantaran dada yang kosong dari iman. Dari jiwa yang tidak se'aqidah kepada jiwa inginkan syurga dan redha ilahi. Semuanya Fahri temui dalam kisah yang menyentuh jiwa ini.

Siapakah yang bakal menjadi teman hidup Fahri? Singkaplah rahsia di sebalik makna Ayat-Ayat Cinta.

The School and The Hospital

Now you might wonder what school has to do with hospital. The thing is, those two happened to be my destinations this afternoon. And now here I am, typing happily on this computer powerful enough to make me jealous writing to this cosy lil' blog-o-mine.

But I'm getting waaaay ahead of myself here. Lemme start from the beginning.

I have three sisters, two of them are having major exams this year. Of those two, one of them decided to stay at the school's hostel.

It happened that she had the weekend off (meaning she gets to return home for that duration). And it also turns out that the hostel's rules and regulations said to return before 6pm Sunday.

Today is Sunday...

How about the hospital you say?

Ah... So you see, we went to send my sister off back to the hostel. Then my mom got a call.

Ok, here's another story... She's a doc. End of story.

Continued from two paragraphs before. She got a call from one of her fellow docs. Then she said, "Let's go the hospital..."

I was like... "Huh?" And the 'huh?' being a really blurrish kinda 'huh?', y'know, since I like, didn't expect that we'd be going here and there and everywhere after sending my sister off to the hostel.

Daym.

Then, great!

Then, with full acceptance of reality I went on to do my duty as my mom's driver of the day.


Lalalalalala!!!

This computer's great!!

OK time to publish this.
