This new third edition includes a discussion on Private Company Council accounting alternatives for business combinations and impairment testing, with a detailed example of the Market Participant Acquisition Premium (MPAP), including European and Asian examples and expanded discussion of IFRS.

10. Andai Umat ini Hidup seperti Umar Al-Khatab
Pengarang : Ustaz Wadi Annuar
Imprint : Batu Cave: Publishing House, 2019
Muka surat : 239
Sinopsis :
Siapa yang tidak mengenali tokoh dan sahabat Rasulullah S.A.W. yang mulia, bernama Umar al-Khattab? Kasih sayang Allah S.W.T. kepada Saidina Umar R.A. amat besar. Selain memberi hidayah kepada beliau, Allah S.W.T. juga mengilhamkan kebijaksanaan dan keistimewaan kepadanya. Antaranya;
- Diberikan ilham yang bertepatan dengan dalil;
- Seorang pengikut dan umat setia kepada Rasulullah S.A.W.;
- Pemimpin yang adil dan amanah;
- Salah seorang penulis wahyu;
- Sahabat yang dijamin masuk syurga; dan
- Menjadi anggota keluarga kepada Rasulullah S.A.W.
Di sebalik kemuliaan yang dikurniakan kepada beliau, sosok Saidina Umar sememangnya sangat terkenal dengan nilai-nilai murni dan kepimpinan yang gagah dan mempersonakan. Ketokohan yang ada pada dirinya diserlahkan lagi apabila beliau memilih untuk menjadi seorang Muslim dan pembela agama Islam. Keislaman ini juga adalah jawapan kepada doa baginda S.A.W. :
“Ya Allah, muliakanlah Islam dengan satu di antara kedua orang yang paling engkau cinta, Abu Jahal ataupun Umar bin Khattab. Dan ternyata yang lebih Allah S.W.T. cinta antara keduanya adalah Umar bin Khattab.”
Andainya Umat Ini Hidup Seperti Umar Al-Khattab ...
Terdapat pelbagai sifat dan akhlak yang dapat kita contohi dan mengambil inspirasi daripada kehidupan Saidina Umar sehingga beliau dihormati oleh semua manusia. Rasulullah S.A.W. pernah menyatakan bahawa Saidina Umar adalah antara contoh manusia yang memberi inspirasi kepada ummat. Kita boleh jadikan sifat yang ada pada beliau sebagai sumber inspirasi dan semangat.
Adil, Takwa dan Tawaduk.
Walaupun menjadi insan terpuji, Saidina Umar memilih untuk sentiasa merendahkan diri dan kekal tunduk kepada Maha Kuasa.
Akhlak ini adalah lambang keperibadian dan kehebatan Saidina Umar sehingga beliau disayangi oleh semua manusia bahkan beliau juga disayangi dan dicintai oleh Allah dan Nabi Muhammad S.A.W. Jadi, sebagai umat manusia di zaman yang maju ini, kita cuba menerokai dan mengambil inspirasi daripada akhlak Saidina Umar tersebut agar kita menjadi umat yang cemerlang di dunia dan akhirat.
