Rod Liddle
¥66.22
With a sharp eye for the magnificently absurd, Rod Liddle sets light to modern-day Britain. ‘One of Britain’s funniest, most daring columnists. If he weren’t so offensive you’d almost call him a national treasure’ Mail on Sunday ‘I, and my generation, seem feckless and irresponsible, endlessly selfish, whining, avaricious, self-deluding, self-obsessed, spoiled and corrupt and ill.’ What is it that has transformed the British who in living memory were admired for their unassuming, stiff-upper-lipped capacity for `muddling through' into the feckless, obese, self-deluding, avaricious and self-obsessed whingers we have become? Savagely funny and relentlessly contrary, yet with a poignant sense of all that we have lost, Rod Liddle mercilessly exposes the absurdity, cant and humbuggery of the way we live now.

History of the Rise, Progress, and Termination of the American Revolution
History of the Rise, Progress, and Termination of the American Revolution
Mercy Otis Warren
¥8.09
Mercy Warren wrote early drafts of this 1300+ page book near the time of the events described. Mercy writes in the third person even when dealing with events involving her immediate family. James Otis (early advocate of the rights of the colonies) was her brother, and James Warren (speaker of the Massachusetts House of Representatives) was her husband. She was a close friend of John Adams, but differed sharply with his policies as President. In the wake of the French Revolution, Adams lost faith in democracy, while Mercy remained a staunch supporter of democracy, despite the risks. According to Wikipedia: "Warren, Mercy (1728-1814), American writer, sister of James Otis, was born at Barnstable, Mass., and in 1754 married James Warren (1726-1808) of Plymouth, Mass., a college friend of her brother. Her literary inclinations were fostered by both these men, and she began early to write poems and prose essays. As member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives (1766-1774) and its speaker (1776-1777 and 1787-1788), member (1774 and 1775) and president (1775) of the Provincial Congress, and paymaster-general in 1775, James Warren took a leading part in the events of the American revolutionary period, and his wife followed its progress with keen interest...In 1805 she published a History of the American Revolution, which was colored by somewhat outspoken personal criticism and was bitterly resented by John Adams..."

Rudyard Kipling

Overview of the British Navy, up through World War I. According to Wikipedia: "Joseph Rudyard Kipling (1865 – 1936) was an English author and poet. Born in Bombay, British India (now Mumbai), he is best known for his works The Jungle Book (1894) and Rikki-Tikki-Tavi (1902), his novel, Kim (1901); his poems, including Mandalay (1890), Gunga Din (1890), If— (1910); and his many short stories, including The Man Who Would Be King (1888). He is regarded as a major "innovator in the art of the short story"; his children's books are enduring classics of children's literature; and his best works speak to a versatile and luminous narrative gift. Kipling was one of the most popular writers in English, in both prose and verse, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.[2] The author Henry James said of him: "Kipling strikes me personally as the most complete man of genius (as distinct from fine intelligence) that I have ever known." In 1907, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, making him the first English language writer to receive the prize, and to date he remains its youngest recipient. Among other honours, he was sounded out for the British Poet Laureateship and on several occasions for a knighthood, all of which he declined.

Kenikmatan & Keindahan Sifat Tobat Dalam Ajaran Islam

Dalam menjalani kehidupan ini, kita pasti pernah berbuat salah dan dosa. Hal demikian adalah manusiawi. Sebab, bukankah Rasulullah SAW berkata, "Setiap anak cucu Adam memiliki dosa, dan sebaik-baik pendosa adalah dia yang bertobat." (HR Ibnu Majah). Mengapa demikian? Sebab, manusia diciptakan dalam keadaan lemah. (QS An-nisa: 28). Manusia yang lemah itu diberikan jalan tobat sebagai wujud kasih sayang Allah SWT kepada kita. Suatu hari, Umar bin Khattab RA datang menghadap Rasulullah saw dengan membawa beberapa orang tawanan. Di antara tawanan itu terlihat seorang wanita sedang mencari-cari anaknya, lalu jika ia mendapatkan seorang bayi di antara tawanan langsung mengambil bayi itu, mendekapkannya ke perut untuk disusui. Rasulullah saw berkata kepada kami, "Bagaimana pendapat kamu sekalian, apakah wanita ini akan melemparkan anaknya ke dalam api?" Kami menjawab, "Tidak, demi Allah, sedangkan dia mampu untuk tidak melemparnya."? Rasulullah saw bersabda, "Sungguh Allah lebih mengasihi hamba-Nya daripada wanita ini terhadap anaknya." (HR Muslim). Karena sedemikian kasih dan sayangnya Allah pada kita, Allah sangat senang bila seorang hamba telanjur berbuat dosa lalu bertobat, berjanji sepenuh hati tak akan pernah mengulangi perbuatannya.

Kisah Hikayat Islami Nabi Muhammad SAW & Bulan Yang Terbelah Dua

Tiada habisnya orang-orang kafir mengzalimi Rasulullah SAW. Mulai dari memfitnah hingga menyuruh Rasul melakukan sesuatu yang menurut mereka hal yang mustahil, yaitu membelah bulan. Namun, dengan izin Allah SWT, Rasulullah SAW dapat melaluinya dengan sabar. Jumlah orang-orang mukmin terus bertambah seiring berjalannya waktu. Sementara itu, orang-orang jahat tidak juga menghentikan kekejaman mereka. Mereka bahkan terus menantang Rasulullah SAW. Pada suatu hari, orang-orang kafir kembali mengelilingi Rasulullah SAW. Mereka punya rencana baru untuk menyudutkan beliau. Mereka meminta Rasul SAW melakukan sesuatu yang menurut mereka mustahil untuk dilakukan. Nanti saat melihat beliau tidak bisa melakukannya, mereka akan mengolok-olok beliau. Dengan pemikiran seperti itu, mereka berkata, "Kalau engkau memang seorang nabi, tunjukkan mukjizat kepada kamu. Misalnya, belahlah bulan purnama di atas kepala kita menjadi dua. Letakkan yang sebelah di atas gunung ini dan sebelah lagi di atas gunung itu," kata orang-orang kafir. "Kalau aku dapat melakukannya apakah kalian akan percaya padaku?" tanya Rasul SAW, merekapun menjawab ya…….

Shalat lima waktu adalah salah satu kewajiban bagi umat Islam. Shalat ternyata tidak hanya menjadi amalan utama di akhirat nanti, tetapi ternyata gerakan–gerakan shalat adalah gerakan paling proporsional bagi anatomi tubuh manusia. Bahkan dari sisi medis, shalat adalah gudangnya obat dari berbagai macam penyakit. Selama ini shalat yang dilakukan lima kali sehari oleh umat Islam, sebenarnya telah memberikan investasi kesehatan yang cukup besar bagi yang melakukan shalat tersebut. Gerakan sholat sampai dengan salam memiliki makna yang luar biasa baik untuk kesehatan fisik, mental bahkan keseimbangan spiritual dan emosional. Tetapi sayang hanya sedikit dari umat Islam yang memahaminya.

Muhammad Xenoryuki

Nabi Ilyas alaihis salam adalah keturunan Nabi Harun Alaihis salam. Alalh mengutus Nabi Ilyas untuk menjadi pembimbing kaum yang berada di tepi timur sungai Yordan. Nabi Ilyas diutus untuk memperingatkan bangsa Israel. Sejak dahulu hingga sekarang, bangsa Israel memang susah diatur. Oleh karena itu, sepanjang sejarah, banyak diutus para nabi kepada bangsa ini. Namun, bila nabinya telah meninggal dunia, perlahan-lahan ajaran yang ditinggalkan terkikis habis oleh kemaksiatan. Di saat itu, ketika Nabi Ilyas diturunkan, orang-orang Bani Israel terkenal dengan kebiasaan menyembah berhala. Berhala itu bernama Ba'al. Karena penyembahan Ba'al di tengah kota, maka kota itu dinamakan Ba'labak. Nabi Ilyas menyampaikan dakwahnya kepada dakwahnya kepada Bani Israel. Ia tak bosan-bosannya menyeru, memberi peringatan kepada mereka, namun mereka sama sekali tak menghiraukan. Mereka meremehkan kedatangan Ilyas, manakala memberi peringatan. Bahkan tak segan menghina dan mengejek Ilyas yang dianggapnya bersikap aneh itu. Meskipun demikian, Ilyas dengan senang hati ikhlas tak bosan-bosannya mencegah keburukan dan mengajak kepada kebaikan……
