Book Club

Salaam...
Since 2016, I’ve been trying to write books — novels, semi-academic stuff, religious knowledge, self-development… basically a whole identity crisis in different genres 😭

The problem is… none of them ever fully made it to the “ready to print” stage.

But ever since AI started invading every corner of life, I tried combining it with my old writings just to finally finish some of these projects. Surprisingly, the results turned out really good — honestly, sometimes even better than my original drafts. The structure changed a lot, the information became deeper, and many parts were heavily reworked, but the main purpose and soul of the writing still came from me.

So now I’m curious… what do you guys think?

If the ideas, direction, and message are still yours, but AI helps organize, improve, and develop them… is it still considered your own work, or am I secretly in a co-author relationship with a robot now? 😂

I would like to form a writing group

Hello folks, looking for recommended reading in Islamic lore/fantasy books, like:

1. Arabian Nights
2. 40 rules of love, etc

Essentially looking to read fiction which is rooted in Islamic folklore.

Please recommend. 🫠

Can someone give me good book recommendations that gets me out of a reading slump but are really interesting. Looking for romance as a genre

I read a book that says:

We humans are imperfect, weak, and often restless. Yet Allah created humans in the best form❤️

Kadang-kadang terfikir kenapa susah nak buat keputusan. Ada mak saudara tanya kenapa belum kahwin lagi, but I’m still debating with myself on simple things like “I can’t even decide what to eat” 🥹

Continuing with the book:
We come to know both sweetness and bitterness in life, like eating sweet cake and drinking bitter coffee is perfect combo. For those who do not like coffee, you can always choose another one. Tak paksa 🤣

This is life, what is “bad” helps us to appreciate what is “beautiful.” Alhamdullilah

We are like books

Most peole only see your cover,
The minority read only the introduction,
Many people believe the critics,
Few will know our content.

-Emile Zola-
