Sahara menghimpunkan 60 buah puisi yang tersirat di maya qalbuku yang ditajallikan sebagai bentuk puisi. Temanya memaparkan suatu pengalaman mistik dalam pencarian untuk menemui-Nya sebagai Kekasih bagi segala kekasih. Pengalaman ini membuat aku begitu sedar merasakan bahwa untuk menemui-Nya bukanlah semudahnya melangkah dengan selangkah-dua tapak di atas muka bumi-Nya, tetapi telah Dia bentangkan sebuah padang pasir yang luas dan tandus, menempuh berbagai cabaran dan ujian penderitaan, sepertimana Dia telah menghimpunkan para tetamu-Nya pada Hari Wukuf di Padang Arafah.
This anthology contains profoundly meaningful poems that were penned over a period of more than three decades by H.B. Johar, also famously known with his real name Johar Buang, a Sufi Poet. This anthology of poetry takes readers on a journey into the very heart of man with a uniquely different approach to the theme of love that is great and universal. Johar's poems reflected man's challenging life in relation to the Creator and how that divine connection serves as a stronghold for man to search for values, the truth and peace. Destructive phenomena such as military aggression and forest fires are also integrated in some of his poems. Johar's poems displayed strength in the use of words and phrases that were carefully selected to give a fresh meaning which had significantly contributed to a new trend and form in the realm of poetry writing in Singapore.
While many books have probed the role of Islam in political and social change in Southeast Asia over the past three decades, few have focused on the power of the religious discourse itself in shaping this transformation. Contemporary Islamic Discourse in the Malay–Indonesian World captures the interplay between religion and social thought in comparative case studies from Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. Drawing on a critical sociology of knowledge and a profound understanding of historical contexts, the central focus is on Muslim intellectuals who have grappled with the impact of modernity in these societies, between those seeking to reform Islam’s role and those who take a hardline de...
The Malay/Muslim community, comprising approximately 13% of Singapore's population, is an integral part of modern Singapore's formative years. The community has come a long way and accomplished plenty. Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong lauded the community's growth and its efforts in nation-building in the 2015 National Day Rally,'The Malay/Muslim community is an integral part of Singapore ... and they have contributed significantly to our nation's harmony and progress.'50 Years of Malay/Muslim Community in Singapore highlights the progress, the contributions and the challenges of the community for the past 50 years since Singapore's independence in 1965. While progress is significant, challenges remain an uphill battle towards a comprehensive community development. As the book narrates stories from the past — the successes and the challenges — it is also important for the community to reflect and to look ahead — Majulah!
Singapore’s Malay (Muslim) community, constituting about 15 per cent of the total population and constitutionally enshrined as the indigenous people of Singapore, have had its fair share of progress and problems in the history of this country. While different aspects of the vicissitudes of life of the community have been written over the years, there has not been a singularly substantive published compendium specifically about the community – in the form of a Bibliography – available. This academic initiative fills this obvious literature gap. The scope and coverage of this Bibliography is manifestly comprehensive, encompassing the different sources of information (print or non-print) ...

Religious and ethno-religious issues are inherent in many multiethnic and multi-religious societies. Singapore society is no exception. It has long been multiethnic, multicultural and multi-religious, being at the crossroads of many major and minor civilizations, cultures and traditions, and its religious diversity continues to develop in the current contexts of growing religiosity, religious change and conflict often in the name of religion. Despite this background, there is lack of in-depth knowledge, nuanced understanding and regular dialogue about religions and the meanings of living in a multi-religious world. This volume covering major themes of Singapore's religious landscape, religion in schools and among the young, religion in the media, religious involvement in social services, and interfaith issues and interaction fills important gaps in the knowledge and understanding of Singapore's religious diversity and complexity. A collective effort of researchers and practitioners, it is a timely and useful reference for scholars, decision-makers, leaders and practitioners as well as for concerned citizens and followers.
TAKDIR menemukan semula Delilah dan Aminudin setelah sekian lama terpisah. Dengan rasa sedih, kecewa dan rajuk berpanjangan, Delilah menolak kehadiran lelaki itu. Baginya sekali hati terguris, lukanya berparut lama. Apa maknanya ayah apabila lelaki itu cuma muncul ketika dia sudah berjaya. Di mana tanggungjawab lelaki itu ketika dia mengharungi saat getir bersama ibu, nenek dan datuknya yang buta. Sekaya mana pun lelaki itu, masih tidak membuka pintu hatinya. Lelaki itu tidak sama pekerti dengan datuknya. Datuknya yang buta, tapi tidak buta hatinya. Datuknya yang buta tapi tinggi nilai kasih sayangnya. Pun begitu, mestikah dia membiarkan rasa benci itu terus membelenggu hidupnya? Apalah guna akal fikiran jika tidak digunakan sewajarnya. Perlahan-lahan dia mengerti rahsia kehidupan, menginsafi kelemahan dan kekurangan setiap insan. Malah, jauh di sudut hati dia ingin sekali menikmati dakapan kasih seorang ayah dalam hidupnya.
