Deep Thinking

by Harun Yahya, Abdassamad Clarke

Have you ever thought about the fact that you did not exist before you were conceived and then born into the world and that you have come into existence from mere nothingness. Have you ever thought about how the flowers you see in your living room everyday come out of pitch black, buddy soil with fragrant smells and are as colourful as they are? Have you ever thought about how mosquitoes, which irritatingly fly around you, move their wings so fast that we are unable to see them? Have you ever thought abuot how the peels of fruits such as bananas, watermelons, melons, and oranges serve as wrappings of high quality, and how the fruits are packed in these wrappings so that they maintain their taste and fragrance? Have you ever thought about the possibility that while you are asleep a sudden earthquake could raze your home, your office, and your city to the ground and that in a few seconds you could lose everything of the world you possess? Have you ever thought of how your life passes away very quickly, and that you will grow old and become weak, and slowly lose your beauty, health, and strength? Have you ever thought about how one day you will find the angels of death appointed by Allah before you and that you will then leave this world? Well, have you ever thought about why people are so attached to a world from which they will soon depart when what they basically need is to strive for the hereafter?

[Zabidah Salim · Rating 5 out of 5]

In reading this book, I am sorely temped to take out my notebook to write down the words of wisdom that gushes out from this man who has been blessed with such intellect prowess. But then, I paused and realized that if I were going to do that , I would actually be copying the whole book. This book must be read by all truth seekers.
Nothing is a coincidence.

berpikir tak hanya menggunakan akal dan pikiran....

belajar menjadi dewasa secara matang...berpikir pada hakikat yg sbenernya ttg kehidupan dan dunia..agar tidak terkecoh dengan pandangan mata sesaat..

[Aizat Affendi · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a short read, one which you can do it one sitting. The premise is that one should be more observant of the natural wonders and happenings around us, to remind us of and develop a deeper sense of connection with our Lord. I like it, but it just felt like the author had just skimmed the surface and I felt like the book could do without too much graphics (kinda feels like it a magazine of sorts).

"Mereka hanya mengetahui yang lahir (saja) dari kehidupan dunia; sedang mereka tentang (kehidupan) akhirat adalah lalai
Dan mengapa mereka tidak memikirkan tentang (kejadian) diri mereka?Allah tidak menjadikan langit dan bumi dan apa yang ada di antara keduanya melainkan dengan tujuan yang benar dan waktu yang ditentukan. Dan sesungguhnya kebanyakan diantara manusia benar-benar ingkar akan pertemuan dengan Tuhannya"
~QS Ar Ruum 30: 7-8~
Buku ini mengajak kita untuk memikirkan, tujuan-tujuan manusia diciptakan.. untuk apakah kita diciptakan oleh Allah? apakah kita hanya akan dibiarkan begitu saja? tanpa bertanggungjawab? untuk apa Allah menciptakan bumi ini, dengan kesempurnaannya sebagai tempat tinggal untuk manusia? dengan keindahannya? untuk apakah manusia diberi akal pikiran? diberi tubuh yang sungguh luar biasa sempurna?
Allah menguji kita dengan semua ini, untuk menyadari bahwa ada kekuatan di luar sana yang mengendalikan kita, mencukupi kebutuhan kita, memberi kita pelajaran berharga...

buku ini menceritakan tentang bagaimana kita seharusnya berfikir dan berbuat dan juga anda tidak akan percaya jika sesuatu yang kelihatannya masuk akal, ternyata sangat tidak masuk akal atau sebaliknya

[Ayu Zuraidah · Rating 5 out of 5]

Buku bagus, buat kita belajar mengingat kembali esensi hidup dan kehidupan. Supaya kita bisa berpikir jauh lebih luas, tak sesempit pandangan mata kita.
Mencoba berpikir tak hanya dengan otak, tapi juga dengan nurani, dengan hati.

Let's try to be a better moslem!

[Basmin Maarof · Rating 4 out of 5]

Really made me think deep =).

Buku ini menguja minda kita untuk merasa takjub dengan ciptaan Allah seperti bagaimana kejadian bunga yang bermacam-macam warna dan wangi keluar dari tanah yang dianggap kotor dan berdebu.
