Don't Be Sad


Translated from the Arabic book (La Tahzan)


Once, I've read a book called “Don't Be Sadwhich is the number one bestseller of its type for Arabs. It was written by Aaidh ibn Abdullah al-Qarni, one of the Islamic advocate,who wrote about several genres like jurisprudence, literature, biography, translations and collections of poetry such as “Melody of immortality” and “The story of ambition.”



'At a time in which the Muslims are beset with trials from every periphery and within, comes this heartening book rooted in the commandments of Allah, the Sunnah and the excellent guidance and examples of the Muslims that have come before us. Don't Be Sad is an absolute must-read for all people. It is full of practical advice on how to replace sadness with a pragmatic and ultimately satisfying Islamic outlook on life. It exposes to the modern reader how Islam teaches us to deal with the tests and tribulations of this world. So, take heart and hold firmly onto the rope of Allah.' (Amazon.com)

It was an amazing book for any person who feels let down and has no motivation. There is a huge encouragement in this book to make you feel as a whole new person on a new perspective view of the world.

The book starts with a little story and ends with an amazing glory. Yeah I mean by that you'll change into a new person who is more optimistic to the world. It tells you the step to change your self into a better one starting from believing in Allah that he'll never leaves you and he hears you and sees you all the time.

Then it talks about what you can do to be changed and start improving. I recommend you all to read this book if you haven't read it before. It's recommend for anyone who needs some inspiration, meditation, prayer and hope
