Summary

Malunga at War is a fictional story set in present-day East Africa. It’s a land of peace and beauty, a land where nature sits on its throne and beauty sprouts like the morning dew where the sun rises over the horizon of the hills and splashed its beauty across wildlife and into the hearts of men. The soil was rich and succulent and so it gave birth to bountiful harvest and created joyous seasons of celebrations. King Nyambe sits on the throne, but was not left without opposition as Buwana the three-horn and three-eyed demon and his two sons tried to invade the peace of Malunga, to defy the purity of the heart of men and restore the agony of evil.

Nyambe and the guardian of peace ‘Ruhu’ fought Buwana and his sons breaking one of Buwana’s horns before holding them captives in large bottles for centuries.

But tragedy struck again leaving Ruhu the guardian, saddled with the responsibility of training Atama the princess to fight and restore Malunga’s lost glory, but with her identity lost, will Atama ever remember who she is and her innate powers? or perhaps Zuchi her maid has hidden agenda.

    Audiobook Kisah Kehidupan Nabi Hud AS (Prophet Hud) Dalam Bahasa Inggris Bersumberkan Dari Kitab Suci Al-Quran Dan Al-Hadist. 
     
    Nabi Hud AS atau Nabi Eber AS tinggal di negeri Yaman, di sebuah tempat yang bernama Al Ahqaaf (bukit-bukit berpasir), di sana tinggal kaum ‘Aad pertama yang nasab mereka sampai kepada Nabi Nuh. Mereka tinggal di rumah-rumah yang memiliki tiang-tiang yang besar sebagaimana difirmankan Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala: 
     
    “(Yaitu) penduduk Iram (ibu kota tempat tinggal kaum ‘Aad) yang mempunyai bangunan-bangunan yang tinggi–Yang belum pernah dibangun (suatu kota) seperti itu, di negeri-negeri lain,” (QS. Al Fajr: 7-8) 
     
    Mereka juga membangun istana-istana dan benteng-benteng yang tinggi dan membanggakan diri dengan bangunan-bangunan itu. Hal ini sebagaimana difirmankan Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala:“Apakah kamu mendirikan pada tiap-tiap tanah tinggi bangunan untuk bermain-main (bermewah-mewah) –Dan kamu membuat benteng-benteng dengan maksud agar kamu kekal (di dunia)?” (QS. Asy Syu’ara: 128-129) 
     
    Mereka juga memiliki peradaban yang tinggi; mereka unggul dalam bidang pertanian karena melimpahnya air yang segar kepada mereka, di samping mereka memiliki harta dan binatang ternak yang banyak. Tempat mereka ketika itu menjadi ladang yang subur dan hijau, penuh dengan kebun-kebun yang indah dan mata air.Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala juga mengaruniakan kepada mereka bentuk fisik yang berbeda dengan yang lain, badan mereka tinggi dan kuat. Apabila mereka berperang atau menyerang suatu kaum, maka mereka dapat memenangkan peperangan itu dan serangan mereka begitu mengerikan. Hal ini sebagaimana firman Allah Ta’ala menyebutkan perkataan Nabi Hud kepada mereka, 
     
    “Dan apabila kamu menyiksa, maka kamu menyiksa sebagai orang-orang yang kejam dan bengis.–Maka bertakwalah kepada Allah dan taatlah kepadaku.–Dan bertakwalah kepada Allah yang telah menganugerahkan kepadamu apa yang kamu ketahui.–Dia telah menganugerahkan kepadamu binatang-binatang ternak, dan anak-anak,–Dan kebun-kebun dan mata air,” (QS. Asy Syu’ara: 130-134) 
     
    Prophet Hud (Eber) was a prophet of ancient Arabia mentioned in the Qur’an. The eleventh chapter of the Quran, Hud, is named after him, though the narrative of Hud comprises only a small portion of the chapter. Hud has sometimes been identified with Eber, an ancestor of the Israelites who is mentioned in the Old Testament. 
     
    The people of Ad were extremely powerful and wealthy and they built countless buildings and monuments to show their power. However, the Ad people's wealth ultimately proved to be their failure, as they became arrogant and forsook God and began to adopt idols for worship, including three idols named Samd, Samud and Hara. Prophet Hud (Pbuh), even in childhood, remained consistent in prayer to Allah SWT (God). It is related through exegesis that Hud's mother, a pious woman who had seen great visions at her son's birth, was the only person who encouraged Hud in his worship. Thus, the Lord raised up Hud as a prophet for the Ad people. 
     
    When Prophet Hud (Pbuh) started preaching and invited them to the worship of only the true God and when he told them to repent for their past sins and ask for mercy and forgiveness, the Ad people began to revile him and wickedly began to mock God's message. Hud's story epitomizes the prophetic cycle common to the early prophets mentioned in the Quran: the prophet is sent to his people to tell them to worship God only and tells them to acknowledge that it is God who is the provider of their blessings.

    The Flying Inn - A tale of...

    Progressive Islam takes over England, and two men go on the run with a barrel of rum and a wheel of cheese, intent on keeping English pub life alive. Packed with songs, satire, and style as only Chesteron could write."Perhaps prophetical more so than prosaic (and not at all in the sense Chesterton intended it) The Flying Inn is one of those books which should rank among the classics" - The Distributist Review"Chesterton said that the book he most enjoyed writing was The Flying Inn. He enjoyed creating the comical scenes as much as the polemical ones, the drinking songs as much as the bitter satire and the hard-edged debate. As the hero of the novel says, “It’s as innocent as Heaven and as hot as hell.” The novel is a vehicle for Chesterton to tee off against corrupt and ineffectual politicians who had not merely lost touch with common citizens but were actively taking away their basic rights and freedoms. Besides politicians, he also makes room on his skewer for journalists, textual critics, health gurus, idiot socialists and capitalist toadies. [...] the drinking songs in The Flying Inn [are] "true Temperance songs: temperance is about moderation not abstinence. Self-restraint and self-control are acts of freedom. Prohibition is not. Though drinking may be a caprice [...] it is a caprice that cannot be forbidden to a citizen, but can be forbidden to a slave.”And what are these drinking songs that came under such fire? Simply some of the dearest and most delightful poems that Chesterton or anyone else has ever written: The Song of Right and Wrong, The Song of the Dog Quoodle, Wine and Water, The Logical Vegetarian, The Good Rich Man, The Saracen’s Head, and The Rolling English Road."
