Nyiur Saka Brata

On August 7, 2022, I attended the Jakarta Islamic Book Fair at the Jakarta Convention Center. I went there with my college friend Intan, and we had a great time touring all the book stands and meeting a famous writer. The Jakarta Islamic Book Fair is an annual event that takes place in Jakarta and features Islamic books, literature, and associated products. Typically, the fair includes book exhibits, seminars, talks, and other activities connected to Islamic culture, education, and literature. When it came to literature, there were so many options to choose from! We were particularly interested in literature books, so we spent most of our time perusing novels and poetry collections.

The ban intends to put an end to such cruel acts, ensuring that these sentient beings do not suffer needlessly. Another significant aspect ...

    Before entering the world of digital creators, Miftahullah Ilmy Zururi was a poet and novelist. From the cubicle of his bedroom door, in his solitude, he dives into the words and circumstances around him that produce beautiful writing. His poems were included in 4 books of Poetry Anthology in 2020 and she published her first novel entitled "Embun di Atas Bunga Matahari" in 2021. The other side is his view of life that he has lived for 23 years.  He often realized situations that were not to proper human values. From several poems that have been published in  social media, it can be seen the writings of poems written by Miftahzururi, most criticize social circumstances, such as his poem entitled  "Kamar Mandi Sekolah"  This can be seen by his background as a school student who often sees unexpected things such as strange events that occur at school which should be a comfortable place to seek knowledge and student interests. From this anxiety, he began to...
