I picked up this book at Gramedia Jogja last year because the title immediately caught my eye. You know that feeling when a book just calls to you? Yeah, that happened.
This Islamic book, written by A.K. (who, for some reason, prefers to stay mysterious), is packed with wisdom and reminders. The author also includes verses from the Quran to really drive the message home.
I had to take my time reading it. Honestly, some parts felt a little cringe or just… meh because I had heard the same wisdom before. But then I reminded myself—hello, look at the title! “God, why is it still so hard for me to let go (and be sincere)?” Maybe that’s exactly the lesson I need to keep repeating.
“Mengikhlaskan adalah gabungan dari … memaafkan, melupakan, tidak mendendam, dan melepaskan ego.”
Yup, letting go is a whole process. It’s something I have to keep working on, over and over. But Alhamdulillah, I got my hands on this book and actually finished it. Now, let’s see if I can actually apply it in real life. 😆
