It is interesting to note that while these books were written in Malay it has gained enough attention to merit being part of the collections of the American Library of Congress and National Library of Australia. Look here and here.
While the first three books were published by my own company, the fourth titled "Rumah Azan" was published in April 2009 by a company called Karnadya with the help of the Malaysian national literary body Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka. It features beautiful pictures along with stories behind selected mosques which could be related to the history of Islam and the Malays alongside the formation of the Malaysian nation. Look at the article A collaboration of old collegemates - the book "Rumah Azan".
My fifth book "Ahlul Bait (Family) of Rasulullah SAW and Malay Sultanates", an English translation and adaptation of the Malay book "Ahlul Bait (Keluarga) Rasulullah SAW dan Kesultanan Melayu" authored by Hj Muzaffar Mohamad and Tun Suzana Othman was published early 2010. Look here... My 5th book is out! Ahlul Bait (Family) of Rasulullah SAW and the Malay Sultanates... . For more information check out my Malay blogspot CATATAN SI MERAH SILU.
My seventh book "Jejak keluarga Yakin : Satu sketsa sejarah" in turn is a coffee-table book which is written, editted, designed and has pictures taken by me. Coming out of the factory October 2011, this book which combines family history with history of places such as Singapura, Johor, Batu Pahat, Muar and in fact the history of the island of Java and England has been reviewed with me interviewed live in the program Selamat Pagi Malaysia at RTM1. Look at the article Siaran langsung ulasan buku "Jejak keluarga Yakin : Satu sketsa sejarah" dan temu ramah di Selamat Pagi Malaysia. Some selected contents have been featured in Sneak peek "Jejak keluarga Yakin : Satu sketsa sejarah".

The "Berpetualang ke Aceh" series of novels could be obtained in e-book form. Enter http://www.e-sentral.com/, click general novel and go to page 4. You can also type the word "Aceh" at the search box. Or click straight Book 1, Book 2 and Book 3.
The said old mosque lies close to the Kedah royal mausoleum thus we decided to make a visit.
If I'm not mistaken this is the office or administration building for the mausoleum...
The tombs itself lies towards one side.
Let's enter...
There is a modern part for royalties which passed away within the last 100 years or so.
Then there's the old part.
This is for royalties from as far as 300 years ago if I remember correctly.

Wassalam. Takpa. Saya jawab di sini sajalah. Saya pun tak tahu sangat pasal Daeng 5 bersaudara ni. Sebaik pergi ke perpustakaan negara dan cari buku bertajuk Tuhfat Al-Nafis karangan Raja Ali Haji. Namun dari sumber Bugis saya diberitahu begini...
1) 5 Daeng tu memang bersaudara tapi bukan adik-beradik.
2) Mereka di Bugis bukanlah raja atau anak raja, setakat bangsawan menengah walaupun memang kerabat diraja juga.
3) Mereka datang ke Tanah Melayu mengikut Raja Bugis yang pangkatnya jauh lebih besar tapi dapat menjadi raja di sini.
Tentang Ahlul Bait saya tak dapat berikan kepastian kecuali rasa yang ya, boleh kata semua kerabat2 diraja Bugis ni ada darah Ahlul Bait. Kemungkinannya...
1) Dari darah Sheikh Hussin Jamaluddin Kubra yang diketahui meninggalkan ramai keturunan termasuk para Wali Songo tapi akhirnya mangkat di Wajo, Sulawesi
2) Dari keturunan Ahlul Bait lain yang sudah datang ke Sulawesi seawal 800-1200 tahun lalu, rasanya da pertalian darah dengan mereka yang muncul di Perlak dan Samudera Pasai.
