As Salaam Alaikum

I’ve just stumbled onto your site, alhamdulillah very nice.

I have the orange book There is a good one I’m using for an Arabic class “A New Arabic Grammar” by J.A. Haywood and N.H. Nahmad. I purchased it from http://www.Islamicbookstore.com but perhaps you can find it there. I think its put together a bit better than the orange book, and covers that entire orange book in the first 24 chapters so it does go further as well.

Shipping here (Saudi) wasn’t that expensive so I’ll assume it wouldn’t be that bad to ship to you.

I love Malaysia, inshallah I’ll be there this summer as I was last summer. And I always come back w/ a suitcase full of books. I find many of them much cheaper. Probably because Saudi is void of good reading and to have books shipped in usually gets a bit pricey.

And I definately agree with you, NEVER get rid of a book. Unless you have more than one copy!

i don’t know zayn…there is also a great wisdom in giving away and selling one’s books after one has made at least some use of them. have you heard the story of imam al-ghazzali and the caravan thieves?

Hani! What’s new, my friend? No, I don’t think I have heard that story. Why don’t you tell it to me?

You had to put me on the spot didn’t you, Zayn? Um, I don’t want to paraphrase the story or just give the gist of it so lemme see if I can find it somewhere and I’ll post it insha’Allah…unless someone else is reading this and can share it with us!!! Alhamdulillah, bi khair. Doin’ fine. Thank you for asking. (:-)
