SHAH ALAM – Karya Bestari has introduced four new books covering character development, health, personal growth and the relationship between the Quran and science, offering readers practical Islamic guidance for everyday life.
The books were launched in conjunction with the Karangkraf Warehouse Sale 2026, which runs until Nov 9.
The four titles are Belajar Menjadi Manusia by Datuk Dr Abdul Basit Abd Rahman; Food and Life Balance Gaya Nabi SAW; Be The Alpha Muslimah by Ummu Kalsum IQT; and Benarkah Al-Quran Bercanggah dengan Sains? by Associate Professor Dr Muhammad Nazir Mohammed Khalid.
Karya Bestari editor Mohd Azli Mohd Ali said the books took different approaches but shared a common objective of making Islamic knowledge more accessible through relevant content that readers could apply in their daily lives.
He said the books stood out for addressing questions and challenges that reflected the realities of contemporary society.
"We do not want religious books to be read merely to increase knowledge. Instead, we want readers to gain guidance that they can put into practice in their daily lives.
"For example, Belajar Menjadi Manusia encourages readers to reassess their relationships with others.
"We may be performing our religious obligations well, but what about our character, speech and the way we treat those around us?" he told Sinar.
Azli said Food and Life Balance Gaya Nabi SAW combines dietary and lifestyle guidance based on the Sunnah with explanations from modern medicine, addressing growing public interest in health and well-being.
Meanwhile, Be The Alpha Muslimah draws inspiration from prominent Muslim women throughout Islamic history, highlighting how women's strength is shaped not only by external achievements but also by faith, knowledge and good character.
"For readers who enjoy exploring ideas and knowledge, Benarkah Al-Quran Bercanggah dengan Sains? discusses questions frequently raised about the relationship between revelation and modern scientific discoveries, drawing on arguments, Quranic interpretation and academic research.
"This is the strength of Karya Bestari's latest titles. Each book does not merely offer knowledge but also encourages readers to think, reflect on themselves and make positive changes in their lives," he added.
Azli also said Belajar Menjadi Manusia was among the titles expected to attract particular interest because its message was relevant to people from all walks of life.
He said the book emphasised that being a good Muslim involved more than fulfilling religious obligations such as prayers and fasting, as it also encompassed how individuals treated their parents, spouses, children, neighbours and the wider community.
The four books are priced between RM25 and RM39 each. Visitors to the warehouse sale can enjoy discounts of 15 to 30 per cent, subject to the promotions available.
