All books written by A. Fatih Syuhud are published by Pustaka Alkhoirot | Al-Khoirot Research and Publication. An institution for research and publishing Islamic books under the institution of the Pondok Pesantren Al-Khoirot Malang.

All books I have published are written in Bahasa Indonesia. I also have a plan to write books in English or at least translated the books I’ve written above into English.

I will keep on writing books as much as I can in the years ahead. Writing books to me is one pinnacle, among other destinations I’d like to attain, in terms of intellectual achievement. With books one writes, one may share whatever one wants to share with others forever even after one lasts his breath. To me, there’s no treasure more valuable other than books you’ve written.

I also urge people with intellectual capacity, i.e. those who have finished at least their bachelor degree, to write a book or two as a everlasting treasure for the generations to come.

Oh one more thing, you may consider this page as my personal intro and make the comment box below as an intro for you and your blog URL. It’s ok just to say “Hi!” along with the link of your blog. :)

FAMILY LIFE

A. Fatih Syuhud is married and has four children, each named Ahmad Farzan Esfandiar Syuhud, Kanza Nabila Syuhud, Rozana Zunaira Syuhud, Ahmad Shahin Sarfaroz Syuhud.

Family is the first and foremost priority not only in the context of livelihood, but also includes education, guidance and time priorities.

In the context of social contribution, family is the first and foremost duty that the sharia enjoins on a Muslim after himself as explicitly stated in QS At-Tahrim 66:6 “O you who have believed, protect yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is people and stones.” The next task is external da’wah as mentioned in QS Ali Imran 3:104 “Let there arise out of you a band of people inviting to all that is good, enjoining what is right, and forbidding what is wrong: They are the ones to attain felicity.”

Da’wah should be carried out gently so that it can attract the sympathy of the person being preached to as stated in QS An-Nahl 16:125 “Invite (all) to the Way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious: for thy Lord knoweth best, who have strayed from His Path, and who receive guidance. ”

Notes:
[1] And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the variations in your languages and your colours: verily in that are Signs for those who know.
[2] O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of God is (he who is) the most righteous of you.
[3] If God had so willed, He would have made you a single people, but (His plan is) to test you in what He hath given you: so strive as in a race in all virtues. The goal of you all is to God; it is He that will show you the truth of the matters in which ye dispute.
