Centuries ago, the Messenger of Allah called for Islam to all people. He also exemplified how to implement Islam in daily life. However, as a creature that cannot be separated from mistakes, there are times when mankind neglects and makes various mistakes in terms of worship. Unconscious mistakes, which then continue to become habits. In the end, the following generations consider these mistakes as the right thing because they are used to it.

This book contains an outpouring of things that occur in everyday life, which is actually not in accordance with the guidance of the Qur'an and hadith. One of them is the phenomenon of giving the title Hajj / Hajah to people who have already left for Mecca to perform the Hajj. So far, perhaps we consider it to be a natural thing or even as something that should have been. In fact, the Apostle alone did not lead to this.
Interestingly, these sentiments were presented in funny illustrations, making them more easily accepted and memorable. This book offers a method of preaching or teaching Islam in a different way. Unlike mainstream religious books which generally contain patronizing sentences so that it feels boring, this book is presented in comic form. Also equipped with the Qur'anic verses and related traditions. Reading this book is guaranteed to make laughs and jerks.
I really enjoyed reading this book from beginning to end. This book is light to read, but the contents are very weighty. A new discourse for learning religion in a fun way. With this book, we are invited to familiarize the truth, not justify habits.
