Wisdom often arrives quietly—through stories, moments, and reflections that open the heart and sharpen the mind. In every generation, scholars have preserved such stories so that seekers may discover the lessons hidden within them. This book is a doorway into that treasury of insight.

About the Book

Menggali Hikmah Terpendam: 99 Kisah Hikmah Pilihan is the Indonesian translation of Faʿtabirû Yā Ulī al-Abshār by Sayyid Muhammad al-Husainī asy-Syirāzī, a renowned scholar whose writings combine spiritual clarity, ethical depth, and practical moral guidance. First published by Maktabah Jinān al-Ghadīr in Kuwait (1997), the original work gathers ninety-nine stories—drawn from history, lived experience, and classical Islamic heritage—that shine with lessons on character, humility, honesty, compassion, and the inner struggle for self-refinement.

Translated into Indonesian by Tholib Anis and edited by M. S. Nasrulloh, this edition (Rajab 1427 / August 2006) presents each story in simple, elegant language. The narratives are short but profound, designed not merely to entertain but to awaken reflection, strengthen moral intuition, and illuminate the ethical paths encouraged by the Qur’an and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his Family).
