Alhamdulillah for this wonderful opportunity to showcase my book at a university where I used to wander about when I was a kid. It is located about 10 minutes walk from my grandparents' home in Gelugor.
The event is organized by USM Press (Penerbit USM) and Hamzah Sendut Library of Universiti Sains Malaysia |

"Boost Your Faith' by Ezatulhada ably captures the essence of being a Muslim: to be the vicegerent of God on Earth, grounded in the Oneness of God, or Tawheed. The book is informed by her lifelong experience of gathering knowledge from mingling, listening, and interacting with many contemporary, highly regarded scholars, as well as her extensive readings of classical works. Thus, the work culminates in her personal spiritual experiences gained over the years and is shared to benefit others interested in enhancing their own spirituality. Developing one's character, or akhlaq, is fundamental to the vicegerency of mankind, and Eza beautifully elucidates its relevant components, such as the importance of sincere intentions in actions, mannerisms, and humility. Additionally, the book covers the sayings and actions of the noble Prophet (peace be upon him) along with words of wisdom from the saints of the past; this book indeed boosts one's faith. Kudos to Eza."

I met Prof. Dato' Dr. Kameel for the first time 17 years ago, at the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) in Gombak. He was very kind to let me interview him on his works and books. I was then working as a journalist for an Islamic magazine.
Alhamdulillah indeed.
