To be honest, when I finished reading this book, I was convinced that this book would not be well received by Muslims. My opinion is directed to the aspects of religion and belief that I have followed since I was born until now. This is because this book is very much driven towards Christian beliefs. It tells about the book of the Bible that is said to be the son of God, which is actually very contrary to the teachings of Islam. In the context of Islam, God is one and stands alone and has no children. Therefore, I am sure that this book will not be well received by non-Muslim readers, especially the depiction of angels, heaven and hell as shown in the book.

However, as a Muslim who firmly adheres to the teachings of Islam, I respect the writing of this book which applies many noble values to children. After finishing reading this book, I am quite happy because I believe and believe that there are many lessons and knowledge that can be shared and practiced in the lives of all people on this earth regardless of race and religion. The application of good values at the children's level is very good and very necessary to educate and make them good people and practice good values in everyday life.

I really like what is emphasized in this book which insists that we should believe in the existence of God. As human beings, we must obey God who created us. When we obey all God's commandments, we will get a equal reward whether it is heaven or hell. If we practice a good lifestyle, be kind to many people and do what God commands and leave what God forbids, then we will get the reward of heaven. But on the contrary, if we do evil and bad things and do what God forbids, then we will get the reward of hell.

In terms of concept, I really like the arrangement of the story that is presented starting from the children's dream about the beauty of heaven when they do good things and ending with the image of hell if they do bad things. This situation will cause children to be afraid and will cultivate to become good people and be liked by all. Overall, I rate it 4 out of 5.
