LEARNING RESOURCES- Book Review on Educating the soul
I like this book the most. This book portrays beautifully how the bond between two cousins and friend, Fend where they grew up together with their Atuk in the village. It was about the different journey in seeking the Divine love and eternal happiness of being in love with the Creator. Three of them living their own lives in the music industry.
Every day, they live their lives with a lot of unanswered questions in their heads, and they even end up doing the same routine every day, prompting one of them to take the first step out. All changed on the first day of Ramadan when his cousin asked another cousin to accompany him on an impromptu trip to Australia.
They ended up living in the mosque for the entire Ramadhan and formed a close friendship with the pilgrims who live in the mosque. They all have different life stories to tell. At night, they pray together, competing to see who can finish Tadarus first. Those moments are the only reason they continue to be tied together. Not physically, yet internally.
Memories, on the other hand, remain memories. On the first Eid, Muslims are free to enjoy themselves to the fullest. Both siblings returned to their hometown. With traditional dishes and smiles, we celebrate with our families and siblings. The three of them, including Fend, are in the same boat. They have a gathering with Atuk. However, not long after their happiness, disaster hit one of them.
However, not long after their happiness, disaster hit one of them. On his way to buy ice for drinks to be celebrated, Fend's cousin was hit by a truck. All was speechless. If it hadn't been for his cousin, Fend would not have joined the impromptu tour. His most recent Ramadan could not have been the best, as he spent it in Australia with his cousin.
This book taught me to never take anyone's goodness for granted and to appreciate the unexpected path that led them to the Divine Light. I just want to use this book to teach people about how valuable Divine Love from the Almighty is, and how few people will be able to obtain it.
And I believe it was the educator's job to provide a clear understanding to young Muslims in order for them to understand how the significance of Iman and to guide them with the best guidance necessary using Quran Sunnah knowledge, insya Allah.
