Thanks for sharing a moment with me n you always in my Simheart…Not forgetting those friends k.dini, sira, k.jijah n kamal for your helps…I’m really appreciating it.
Back to the book. These are my personal views on this book:-
This book provides an excellent overview of the nation’s outlook of the Malaysian under leadership of Mahathir, the challenges the Muslim world will have to embrace, the government’ strategies to drive the nation and country along with more topics that should be read by peoples out there. It is adequate to be read by the university students, the economist, politician, as well as layman to give them the inspirational value about the Mahathir’s approach and thoughts in handling a range of conflicts and situations during his governance as the forth Prime Minister of Malaysia. The contents about the harshness of American and their cronies Jews are noticeable in this book to open the eyes of Muslim to the solution on how to tackle them. This publication certainly serve as a useful reference and guide for investors, corporate leaders, researchers as well as for those who wish to know about the charismatic and visionary leadership of Mahathir in the time of chaotic sphere.
These some lesson learnt from the book:-
* Muslims have to express out their talents and abilities to face the unpredictable challenges around together sacrificing for the victory of Islam against the attackers by all means.
* Peoples have to be cautious and think intelligently; in order to avoid Westernization civilization undertake and destroy the Islamic values which is regarded as our foundation of our identity.
* Muslims should always think positive and not too pessimist.
* Mutual cooperation is a key success for Muslim world to become a powerful nation in facing any hardship across.
* Muslims should have a strong faith with the respective religion of Islam as a key element towards success in all facets of life.
* Globalization has a great danger to the Islamic globe, thus we have to have a strong stands to protect our identity from being intrigued n committed to the Islamic path to sustain our own identity.
* Upgrade our Islamic knowledge to get a concrete understanding about Islam with its practices in order to make us well-verse about application in our daily life
* Muslims should boost themselves to be brave; unless if we stay afraid it will never make us good and success in life.
* Word without action is worthless.
Finally, I would like to quote his word by saying the hadith of Prophet “The wisdom is the things that all Muslims should seek and wherever find it, we should grab it”.
