I didn't even had second thoughts of buying this book when it was promoted vigorously through blogs or even when I saw a woman read in during an LRT ride. I wasn't interested. Nadah, zilch!
And then, I went to Bandung last year in May 2009, and I found the book was translated into Indonesian language. Oh my, I should grab this book indeed!
I bought it in Pustaka Mukmin and I just read it. Thanks Sis Zabrina for such inspiring advices and words. The stories are related to us More...

A wonderful book I've read, it teaches islamic manners in a beautiful way, the writer used different stories to show the concept of each subject in consider, she also used quotes from Qura'an and Sunnah. What I've also noticed that the writer used simple words to make it more close to the mind of the reader at any age. I advice you to try to read even some of these stories and I'm pretty sure you'll like them, as well as your kids.

delapan belas topik penuh motivasi, 18 kisah yang sangat menyentuh, lebih dari 18 kalimat bijak yang "ngena" banget.
sis Zabrina dengan cerdas dapat mengemas pesan-pesan dan ajakannya kepada kebaikan dengan gaya yang santai dan tidak menggurui. Islam itu Indah dan Mudah, begitu juga gaya Sis Zabrina mengajak pembacanya untuk bercengkrama dengan kebajikan.
direkomendasikan untuk siapa saja...

Tidak payah untuk sekadar mendapatkan tiket ke syurga.
Salah satu tiket itu memang ada di depan mata kita setiap masa.
Terpulang kepada kita untuk merebut tiket ini atau sebaliknya.
Buku ini bisa membuatkan kita tersentuh hati dan merubah cara berfikiran supaya setiap apa yg kita lakukan adalah semata-mata untuk hari 'esok'. Bukan untuk sekarang.

This book captivates me. It's a collection of 18 motivational and inspirational short stories which ultimately inspires the readers' to reflect and change, should need be, according to the guidelines from Holy Qur'an and the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). I love Sis Zabrina's writing style and her creative use of stories, quotes, Qur'an and hadiths to convey meaningful lessons for us all to ponder upon. The simplicity of the language is easy enough for a child to understand, but

It's indeed inspiring and fascinating by providing several mind-boggling questions that tease your mind. It makes us stop for a while and reflect on what we'd done so far. This book also help us to open the tie of confusion pertaining life's happening with several quotes from Glorious Holy Koran, Hadith and a few imminent personnel. It does touch to the core of my heart. With simple English used, It is easy enough for a child to understand and gain a portion of motivating impact from this book.
