Hi, bookluv

Kali ini kita cerita tentang buku yang berjudul Ayana Journey to Islam

Overall, this book talk about gimana ceritanya Ayana yang memiliki nama asli Jihye (sebelum convert to islam) menjadi Mu'alaf

Lahir dari keluarga terhormat, yang nota bene berkecukupan dan berkecimpung di dunia politisi. Ayana kecil tumbuh dengan keluarga dan lingkungan tidak mengenal adanya Tuhan, bahkan dalam keluarga nya sendiri lebih sering membicarakan topik politik dari pada agama.

Saking dekatnya keluarga Ayana dengan politik, bahkan sehari-hari Ayana kecil terbiasa menonton berita dari pada film-film yang biasa di tonton oleh anak seumuran dirinya. Bahkan dia sendiri pernah berdebat dengan guru nya perihal politik, dan sempat menjatuhkan pilihannya sendiri terhadap salah satu calon politisi di umur 8 tahun.

Ketika seumuran dia apa yang kamu lakukan..?

Tumbuh dengan keluarga yang cerdas, ia dikenal dengan sokok yang pintar dengan banyak nya penghargaan yang ia raih, juara satu.? Udah biasa.

Suatu kali kakeknya yang sering bolak balik Amerika Serikat membicarakan topik perihal Islam di Timur Tengah, ketika itu sedang hangat-hangatnya isu tentang perang di Irak.

Nah, hal itu memicu keingintahuan Ayana tentang timur tengah, yang nota bene pemikiran orang-orang disekitar nya tentang islam sebatas terorisme dan hal negatif lainnya.

Perjalanan dia hingga mengucapkan syahadatnya, itulah yang akan kamu telusuri dari buku ini. Perjalanan yang mengubah kehidupannya 180°.

Satu hal yang sangat berarti bagiku sebagai seorang muslim ketika membaca buku ini adalah Terlahir dan tumbuh di tengah-tengah keluarga serta lingkungan Islami.

It's okay to down sometimes, but it's matter to how you overcome you live then.

In the end, I don't quite understand with the end of the story Colourless Tsukuru Tasaki it's like still not come to end, I thought he would do something with his relation with Sara and how about Haida..? How's with him?where did he go..? And the story that happened his father's, what's the end of it..?

At least, this story tell about Tsukuru and his friends, something happens to his friend and make that friendship not going well. He suffers that much, and so his friends. It tells about how you face your own problem, don't let that problem hanging before you try to solve it's, faced it so you can keep moving forward with your live.

" if nothing else you need to remember that. You can't erase history, or change it. It would be like destroying yourself"

Today I was reading on Colourless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage by Haruki Murakami, it's the second's books I have read that wrote by him after Kafka on The Shore.

Did you ever feel that way..?

You would think some problem will end by the time passed, and we, somehow thought the problem was the end by itself, but the truth was it wasn't.

Some people were stronger to face their own problem some don't. But, when you put all yourself in it and make it done you will reveal you are much stronger than before. And the way you see the problem would change, even just a little bit.

This book talk about Tsukuru with his four friends Aka, Ao, Shiro and Kuro that have a colour term in their name and he the one who's a colorless name in it. Five of them were really close until going to college. Somehow he came to Tokyo University and the rest of them just stay college in Nagoya where is the home town.

But, come a time when his friend said to him not to contact them anymore, without tell the reasons why.
