Karbala
Tuhan, aku sungguh malu, betapa banyak dosa aku. Nabi, umat macam apakah aku ini; cucuanda kesayanganmu hancur diseligi sedang aku masih solawat tanpa meratap dan menangis akan korban di Karbala ini.
The Prau With the Silent Soul
A captivating natural landscape is the idyllic setting of this tale of a golden peninsula. Wefada, true to her sea-faring heritage, never tires of sailing. Smitten with young love, burdened with a tragic family history and conflict, she is suddenly thrust with the captainship of a shipping empire. Stories of voyages in the brilliant era of the Malay-Islamic civilisation unfold the mystery of this much-coveted land. A gripping saga woven with philosophy, business, the sea, the Malay bedar (prau), war, love and faith, Bedar Sukma Bisu is certain to stir the reader's emotions - Malaysian National Institute of Translation

Bei Dao; USA/China poet, recipient of Aragana Poetry Prize from the International Festival of Poetry in Casablanca, Morocco, and a Guggenheim Fellowship. He has been a candidate several times for the Nobel Prize in Literature, and was elected an honorary member of The American Academy of Arts and Letters.

Jose Saramago, Nobel Prize Winner of 1998 declared to Portuguese radio station Antenna 1, that “It must be said that in Palestine, there is a crime which we can stop. We may compare it with what happened at Auschwitz”.
Harold Pinter, Nobel Prize Winner of 2005, in his Nobel lecture, he addressed: The United States possesses 8,000 active and operational nuclear warheads. Two thousand are on hair trigger alert, ready to be launched with 15 minutes warning. It is developing new systems of nuclear force, known as bunker busters. The British, ever cooperative, are intending to replace their own nuclear missile, Trident. Who, I wonder, are they aiming at? Osama bin Laden? You? Me? Joe Dokes? China? Paris? Who knows? What we do know is that this infantile insanity – the possession and threatened use of nuclear weapons – is at the heart of present American political philosophy. We must remind ourselves that the United States is on a permanent military footing and shows no sign of relaxing it.

"As a novel, Tuhan Manusia is well-written in an eloquent and excellent Bahasa Melayu, that is to be expected from Faisal Tehrani, whose works are popular with both critics and readers. And as what suppose is a mark of a skilled writer, for such a topic laden with emotions, Faisal has avoided smothering the reader with sentiments. And despite this being a book where apostasy is central, fire and brimstone rarely surface. When it is dished out, it is classy and measured." - Reader
