Sometimes, ALLAH sends us failure so we can be humble.
Sometimes, ALLAH takes everything away from us so we can learn the value of everything HE gave us.

When Allah leads you to the edge of difficulty... either ALLAH will catch you when you fall or ALLAH will teach you how to fly! =]

Please make them strong ya Allah...

Let me start:
*Best book ever- The Holy Quran. Apart from being the Holy book of our religion. It is simply a guidance for everyday matters. It invites to a study of natural and mathematical sciences, philosophy, literature and all the branches of knowledge accessible to humanity, the learning of which is in the interest of humanity and brings happiness to humanity. The Quran invites to these branches of knowledge on condition that people are guided by this knowledge to truth and know the real world which is headed by Godliness.
Most important of all, Quran is a cure for all our spiritual ailments.


*Book which truly touched me, A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini.
The author is gifted. He has an amazing writing style, his story is absolutely compelling on every level. A must read. :D

*Harry Potter series by JK Rowling. <3 I need not say much on this except that I love JK for writing this book. :P

I mentioned a link today in this thread that I created, though probably no one has seen it. Its beautiful, its an article regarding Quran...
http://www.sunnipath.com/library/Books/B0039P0002.aspx

So awesome ain't it.

AND Harry Potter...OF COURSE...xD

That first line is contradicting itself......

Same here; hate Paulo Coelho, a bumbling old fool is what I would call him, hate Agatha Christie too...

Nice thread Romeesa!!

Here's a book list I would recommend:

1. Enid Blyton; Famous five, Secret Seven etc...
2. Eoin Colfer; Artemis Fowl series, supernatural etc...
3. Christopher Paolini; Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr...
4. Robert Ludlum; stand-alone spy thrillers, definitely worth a read, though you may get intimidated by the length and complexity... for advanced readers
5. Terry Brooks; Shannara series; dark fantasy, for advanced readers.
6. Alistair McLean; amazing use of language. stand alone spy/action thrillers, generally nautical in nature, of moderate length.

Ah well, call me a nerd, but I love novels (and hate study books).... and no, I don't wear thick-rimmed glasses, or any glasses for that matter....

nicee !! going to some of them !!
which robert ludlum book do u suggest !

"The Matarese Circle" is a work typical of his style... Also the whole "Bourne" series which was made into movies too... the movies got very famous I hear....
He did write two comedic spy thrillers; they are hilarious! "The Road to Gandolfo" and its sequel "The Road to Omaha"...



Who hasn't read and liked JKR's HPs?? Everybody likes them so no need to even mention em, imo... :P

It seems very INTERESTING!

What's this exactly about? Is it related to religion in any way ?

It is.

Hmmmm. . .  It is a story about the childhood experiences of fraternal twins whose lives are destroyed by the "Love Laws" that lay down "who must be loved, and how, and how much". The book is a description of how the small things in life affect people's behavior and their lives. (:

Not exactly related to religion.

It seems nice. I'll write it's name down and research it inshAllah. I'll also be reading when the moon splits the one you recommended when I get my       e-reader inshAllah in August. I'll have the option of reading all books online because of the e-reader inshAllah! :D

Currently I'm reading this :



I believe that children of this world are the future, so it's very important to me that they get well-raised and well-treated. =]

When I finish the book, I'll say what I think of it ISA! :D
