I have it, the revised edition is good. 14) Don't be Sad - by Aidh Al Qarni - Many say it is an excellent book. Many of these can be found online for free download.

Others are found in any Islamic store. I don't know about Al Fiqh Al Akbar though. It is in English but good book.

If you can order books then order from this site - www.idara.com - My dad has an account here and we order books from here. I got many of them from this site's store and plus my dad has a whole library filled with this site's books. And Allah knows best.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
