Points to think about; Points I like:

*The heart finds peace, the soul finds rest, nerves are relaxed and the intellect is awakened when we Remember Allah

*A person who lives in the past is like someone who tries to saw sawdust. Everything on earth marches forward, preparing for a new season - so should you

*Today is what you have and the only thing you can work with. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow isn't here yet.

*Eat your food - do your work - offer your prayers - sleep well and leave tomorrow unt...more

highly recommended! u'd treasure how wonderful ur life is, u'd cherish and u'd find there's no reason to feel sad!

buku ini membuat gw bisa selalu tersenyum dan jadi lebih yakin lagi, bahwa terus sedih nggak akan membuat hidup jadi seperti apa yang kita mau.
buku ini buat adem, bikin kita pengen membaca ulang yang baru aja kita baca.
baca buku ini kayak berdoa, hampir setiap selesai membaca satu bab, kita akan meng-amin-i bacaannya.

buat yang lagi kecewa, sakit hati, terus menemui kegagalan, ngeras

This is not another spiritual book which tells us to stay in track, and so on, and so on. My auntie bought this for her sisters and I read this book too.

It is the right book to read when you are sad! Why so? It describes every single thing in your life, and why you should not be sad anymore. The author really motivates us to stay happy, and happy, and happy, because we have everything. We have the land, the birds, the air... There are no reason for us not to be happy.

So, buy this book and don't...more

this book is so friggin' tight! MASHAALLAH! I've had this book since I was a freshman it was a gift and I read a couple of pages but I guess my mind wasn't in it to finish the whole thing.

Pertama kali dapat info tentang buku ini di internet saya pikir banyak orang yang melebih-lebihkan isi buku ini. Saya suka sekali baca buku-buku mengenai motivasi dan pencerahan hidup. Bukan apa-apa, hanya agar jiwa saya lebih termotivasi untk mengisi hidup, itu saja.
Saat ada kawan yang memberikan buku ini biasa saja, namun setelah saya baca ternyata isinya memang luar biasa.

Al Qarni pintar membuat buku yang tidak membosankan. Isinya bukan merupakan petuah orang tua kepada anaknya (saya rasa ha...more

Benar, apa yg tampak baik menurut kita belum tentu baik menurutNya, begitu juga sebaliknya. 4JJI lebih mengetahui dari apa yg tidak kita ketahui. Buku ini penuh inspirasi, menjadi teman setia sewaktu masih menyusun skripsi. Segala perasaan sedih, kecewa, panik, bingung, pusing dan stres dalam menyusun refisi bisa terobati setelah membaca buku ini. Meskipun tebal dan ada beberapa kalimat dg makna yg sama sering muncul lg, tapi buku ini bagus direkomendasikan untuk mereka yg perasaannya masih labi...more

Normally I don't read Islamic Books, this one was just a random pick and it proved to be the perfect fit.

I highly recommend this book to all Muslim and Non-Muslim friends too, either you are depressed or not. This book carries a great value. While reading you'll find a permanent supporting shoulder for your sorrows and difficulties. And if you're not going through a difficult time then too its a must read.

This book will take you to many phases and times with quoting verses from the Holy Quran....more

It should be noted that the author was convicted of plagiarizing this book from a Saudi woman, per the Wikipedia page on the subject. He is also being sued for plagiarism by another author. His argument is that plagiarism among religious scholars is okay.

That being said, this book is helpful and also problematic.

The author claims it's written for all audiences, regardless of faith. I disagree. The book is still quite esoteric despite the fact that the author does occasionally incorporate the say...more

I started reading this book and I loved it. But once I found out the "Author" plagerised the book from a young Saudi woman, I could not continue reading. Although I would love to read it if it were correctly attributed to the real author - in fact I'm sure I would love the book even more because a woman wrote it. However, knowing it was banned in Saudi Arabia, yet it continues to be sold and attributed to al Qarni, makes me ill. Shame on him.

I gave this book to one of my high school friends who was one the earthquake's victims 2 years ago. She was so grateful since it's the kinda book that she needed during that time. It made her stronger and able to be one of a gratefull persons in hard times. It's not an easy thing to do especially when you do know that you had nothing left but what you have it in your body. I think she already above average than just a strong person.

So far, what I have read in this book proves to be very insightful. It makes you realize all the blessing you have in your life and not really give much energy to what is lacking as everything is the will of God. I recommend this book for the pessimist or the one always wanting more in life without being satisfied with what they have. All we have is today...

Such a beautiful book! It is very close to my heart as it helped me in a time I was sinking mentally and emotionally. I would recommend it to people of all walks of life it doesn't condemn you for making mistakes instead in a soothing motherly way says, hey you are only human, it's alright. It's teaches such optimism as I have never seen, it has moved me to tears when I was emotionally numb.....it has embraced me warmly when I've been cold and alone. And it shows beauty and strength in the relig...more

Saya, jujur, sama sekali bukan fans berat buku genre religi. Bukan karena saya merasa tidak beragama, hanya saya kadang saya merasa buku religi itu terlalu fanatik sementara saya lebih prefer buku-buku yang topiknya bisa dibilang OUT.

Waktu teman saya membawa La Tahzan beberapa tahun lalu, saya lumayan skeptis. Tapi karena saya orang yang prinsipnya takkan membiarkan satu buku pun yang telah disodorkan ke saya tidak terbaca, maka saya bacalah buku itu.

And I must say that this book is wonderfully...more

I love this book. It is a very practical and inspirational book for anyone who is depressed or feeling sad.
The author tells us in the first several pages of the Foreword and such, on how to read this book. It's not a book to read in one sitting. You have to take it in and enjoy reading it little by little in order to reflect it back to yourself. I love how there are no chapters, but just small sections about various issues that come up in life. It makes it much, much easier and enjoyable to re...more

La Tahzan, jangam bersedih. Banyak hal dalam hidup ini yang membuat bersedih. Itu semua dikarenakan bentuk pikiran yang membuat seseorang bersedih. Bebaskan pikiran Mu.
La Tahzan, sebuah kata-kata yang termuat dalam Al Quran. patutkah kita bersedih? Jangan takut, jangan bersedih, Sesunguhnya Allah bersama kita.

Setiap kehidupan pasti mengalami hal yang berat, sedih, marah, kecewa...
Di saat kita mengalami hal-hal tersebut biasanya kita ingin curhat kepada seseorang untuk mengurangi beban yang terasa menghimpit di dada. Tetapi curhat memiliki suatu dilema tersendiri, tepatkah orang yang kita pilih sebagai teman curhat? Bisakah dia mencarikan solusi akan problem yang dihadapi? Bisa jadi bukannya solusi tapi masalah bertambah dan berita tersebar kemana-mana dan salah paham akan muncul. Maka tempat curhat y...more

Awalnya saya tidak tertarik untuk membaca buku ini. Karna ekspektasi saya buku ini tak lebih dari sekedar chicken soup versi Islam.

Sampai suatu saat, ketika saya sedang dilanda musibah yang sangat berat, yang menyebabkan jiwa saya begitu rapuh & hancur, bisa dikatakan hampir putus asa, karena saya sudah tidak mempunyai semangat dalam kehidupan ini (sedikit hiperbola, hehe). Lalu kemudian saya menemukan buku ini di rumah saudara saya, dan membacanya sekilas. Hanya dengan membaca 1 bab dari b...more
