Inspired by true events, The Land of Five Towers tells the story of Alif, who had never set foot outside of West Sumatra. He passes his childhood searching for fallen durian fruit in the jungle, playing soccer on rice paddies, and swimming in the blue waters of Lake Maninjau. His mother wants him to attend an Islamic boarding school, a pesantren, while he dreams of public high school. Halfheartedly, he fol-lows his mothers wishes. He takes a grueling three-day bus ride from Sumatra to Madani Pesantren in a remote village on Java. On his fi rst day, Alif is captivated by the powerful phrase, man jadda wa-jada, or, He who gives his all will surely succeed. He quickly becomes friends with fi ve boys from

The book is a collection Muhammad Assads writing posted in www.muhammadassad.wordpress.com at the end of 2009.

The fi rst topic is called The Power of Charity. The article tells us the miracle that happened to the au-thor as a result of charity, he suddenly got a VVIP ticket to watch a soccer match of Brazil vs. England.The book includes verses from Al Quran or the ha-diths that connects them to the writing, because it aims to tell the readers that Islam teachings are not diffi cult and not limited within the mosque, but it covers all aspects of humanity.

Although included with verses and hadiths, the book is not exclusively for Muslims. Many non-Muslims like to read the articles because the values offered by Islam are universal ones.

Rahmatan lil aalamiin. The book targets young readers (17-30 years), in a relaxed and unpatroniz-ing tone that encourages them to think and discuss it together. The author regularly updates his blog every Friday, and the titles will be added as needed.

In this book, Mr. Alwi demonstrates the power of one individuals commitment to building bridges between two cultures. His e-mail exchanges with his students show how woefully ignorant young Americans are of Islam, and how much their negative impressions can change through exposure to sympathetic, ac-cessible Muslim intellectuals like Mr. Alwi. Their lack of knowledge suggests that American government should spend at least as much time educating its own population about Islam as it does in public rela-tions efforts directed at Muslim communities abroad.-- Sidney Jones, Director of the Southeast Asia Project, International Crisis Group

To date, the Western world seems to identity Islam with terrorism, radicalism, and in general, acting in-humanly. This is due to their limited understanding of Islam, a situation felt strongly by Dr. Alwi in his interactions with American students. I believe this book can provide accurate insights into the Islamic religion as Rahmatan lil Aalamien.-- Dr. H.C. HMA Sahal Mahfudz, President of the In-donesian Ulama Council

He is convinced that true harmony amongst religious believers must be built, fi rst and foremost, on the recognition understand-ing, and respect for the teachings, traditions, and values of other religions. His testimony of the ben-efi cial role of Islam to the world needs to be heard and shared.-- Kardinal Julius Darmaatmadja, SJ

Many critical confl icts are triggered by mispercep-tions and a lack of communication. This pattern repeats itself in the case of the religiously narrow-minded. Yet, the call for the sanctity of religion, ad-vocates that we oppose that narrow-mindedness as we explore the majesty of God through His crea-tions. Therefore, I warmly welcome Dr. Alwi Shihabs book as an example of how, through dialogue, we can become more mature, even when it concerns our deepest beliefs, in a mutual effort to make posi-tive contributions and coexist peacefully.-- Jakob Oetama, Executive Chairman, Kompas-Gramedia

Education to nurture virtuous characters begins since the baby is in the womb. One way is by read-ing Al-Quran to the baby. Reciting Al Quran increases the level of intelligence just like the classical music stimulates the babys brain especially if its done by the mother. This is proven by a lot of research, some studies even indicate that the baby bows in worship during the citing of Al Quran verses.

If we talk about clothing, the important things which we should ask are: Do the clothes which we wear refl ect our own personality? Does our way of wear-ing clothes express our identity? and Is our clothes in accordance with the law of Islam? These three questions always inspire the works of Shafi ra for 19 years, since it was founded until passing this 3-rd millennium. The fi rst two questions are about per-sonality, the last one is about obligation and duty for every Moslem.

Dian Wahyu Utami who is famously known as Dian Pelangi is a Jakarta best moslem fashion designer. Born in Palembang, 14 January 1991.

Dian Pelangi graduated from the Ecole Suprieure des Arts et Tech-niques de la Mode Jakarta in 2009. She also had a chance to study Arabic language in the Lessanul Arab, Cairo, Egypt, in 2010. Dian is the youngest member of the Indonesian Association of Fashion Designer and Entrepreneur (APMI). Since 2008, she has been working as the fashion designer in the Dian

Pelangi Gallery and her designs have been displayed in many big cit-ies around the globe such as Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Cairo, Abu Dhabi, Pakistan, Amman, Budapest, Prague, Belgrade, London, Melbourne, Perth, and even Paris. Other than designing for her gallery, Dian also appears in talkshows and performs hijab tutori-als in many cities across Indonesia.

Street Style Hijab highlights the casual style for ur-ban Moslem women in Indonesia, Singapore, Ma-laysia, and Thailand. Dian demonstrates the hijab styling of 600 Moslem women in these countries to inspire other Moslem women around the world.

Dian Pelangi is a new and exciting design talent that is pushing the boundaries of contemporary Moslem wear through her fusion of traditional dress and street style. Her huge following of loyal fans,

amassed in such a short time, is testimony to her growing infl uence. Dian has the potential to reach far outside of her own marketplace and have an im-pact on the wider global fashion scene.Toby Meadows, fashion business consultant and author of How to Set Up and Run a Fashion Label
