Throughout the ages, humankind has built astonishing monuments — walls that stretch across mountains, cities carved into stone, temples aligned with the stars, and palaces that whisper of love and loss. Yet behind every wonder lies a deeper truth: all power, beauty, and wisdom belong only to Allah, the Creator of all things. In Wonders Through Time, Ahmad Abubakar Mustafa takes readers on a journey across centuries — from the Great Wall of China to the Taj Mahal — unveiling how each civilization’s efforts, though grand and awe-inspiring, were still signs of human limitation before the greatness of Allah. These chapters invite reflection rather than pride, showing how empires rose and fell, but the power of the Almighty remains eternal. Every stone laid, every structure designed, every kingdom built — all exist by the permission of Allah, and all will return to dust when He decrees. This book transforms worldly wonders into spiritual lessons — calling readers to see beyond human achievement and recognize the signs of Allah (Ayātullah) in the rise and fall of nations. It reminds us that true greatness is not in what humans build, but in how they submit to their Lord. This book has contain a wonderful story - NONFICTIONZum Buch
Where speculative fiction meets philosophical depth, this work redefines humanity’s place in the cosmic tapestry. In the Mariana Trench, a crystalline obelisk revealed the Kael’Nyrin Scrolls—records of a trans‑dimensional civilization, Kardashev III architects who seeded life across galaxies. We are their legacy, children born of starlight. It began in shadows: a rain‑slicked London alley, a scientist burdened by secrets handing me an encrypted drive. “The world deserves to know,” he whispered, then vanished—swallowed by the night. Inside were fragments of the Scrolls and his desperate log. The Kael’Nyrin emerge not as conquerors but as subtle architects. Their creed: Guide without touching, shape without holding. Gardeners of life, conductors of a symphony spanning eons. Yet their legacy bore fractures—schisms, rogue interventions, ecological collapses, genetic compromises echoing through time. The Scrolls reflect wisdom and humility, restraint over dominion, even as they acknowledged failure. As the consortium buckles under the revelations, readers confront a staggering truth: our empathy, our art, our consciousness may be the lingering echo of a civilization that nurtured life without claiming it. When a reckless experiment awakens the obelisk’s defenses, catastrophe strikes—a final lesson that power without wisdom brings ruin. The truth remains suppressed. The ultimate message is responsibility—a sacred warning, a cosmic psalm, a quiet plea. Humanity must prove worthy of the light bestowed. The Kael’Nyrin set the stage. The pen now rests in human hands.Zum Buch

“A vibrantly illustrated biography of Kahlo . . . [Hesse’s] drawings and graphics [flow] seamlessly with the narration.” —Houston Chronicle One of the most important artists of the twentieth century and an icon of courageous womanhood, Frida Kahlo lives on in the public imagination, where her popularity shows no signs of waning. She is renowned for both her paintings and her personal story, which were equally filled with pain and anguish, celebration and life. Thousands of words, including her own, have been written about Kahlo, but only one previous biography has recorded her fascinating, difficult life. Frida Kahlo by María Hesse offers a highly unique way of getting to know the artist by presenting her life in graphic novel form, with striking illustrations that reimagine many of Kahlo’s famous paintings. Originally published in Spanish in 2016, Frida Kahlo has already found an enthusiastic audience in the Spanish-speaking world, with some 20,000 copies sold in just a few months. This translation introduces English-language readers to Kahlo’s life, from her childhood and the traumatic accident that would change her life and her artwork, to her complicated love for Diego Rivera and the fierce determination that drove her to become a major artist in her own right. María Hesse tells the story in a first-person narrative, which captures both the depths of Frida’s suffering and her passion for art and life. “Despite the often light mood of the artwork, the book never shies from weighty consideration of the physical pain and personal loss that gave way—in fleeting but significant moments—to Kahlo’s artistic triumph.” —Publishers WeeklyZum Buch
