♥ Ayat² Cinta ♥by Habibburrahman El Shirazy Ayat-Ayat Cinta  Ayat Ayat Cinta is a beautifully portrayed Islamic love story – a tale of a virtuous Muslim protagonist who overcomes all obstacles of life maintaining pure ideals. The charecters : Fahri bin Abdillah » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « A poor, intelligent student who wins a scholarship to complete his graduate degree at Egypt's esteemed Al Azhar University. Very disciplined and dedicated by nature, Fahri embraces his life in Cairo, completing his studies and translation of religious books with full enthusiasm, exactly according to pre-determined targets.
Only one goal is left unattempted: the pursuit of marriage.
For Fahri is innocent and pure, and doesn't believe in the concept of relationships prior to marriage. He is inarticulate and shy around women. All his life, only two women have been close to him – his mother and grandmother.
Life changes drastically in Egypt for he suddenly finds himself surrounded by four beautiful, distinctly different women. Aisha » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « A student in Cairo haunts Fahri with her beautiful eyes. Following an incident on the metro where Fahri defends her against narrow minded bigoted Muslims, both immediately develop feelings for each other. Maria » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « A shy, open-minded Coptic neighbor who is attracted to the teachings of the Quran, finds herself falling in love with Fahri (a fact she only reveals to her diary). Souce by Wiki Its about love and sacrifice. A very touching novel , I must say. 10 out of 10!  This post has been edited by Massa: Feb 21 2009, 07:20 AM |

i've read ayat2 cinta. it's a good book but then again it's quite the same like any other romantic novels.
I prefer laskar pelangi.it was honest, told in a soft way.it capture exactly what the author felt.

I see. I haven't read Laskar Pelangi yet. But I think Ayat-Ayat Cinta is honest too. |

Really, the kids, at that age, get to do (and learn???) all those mathematical equation...??? at that age??? Seriously? |

but you see, those things do happen in a conducive environment.
i've read the same unconventional teaching style before and it happen in japan in the 40's.
so yeah the level of education you receive do depend on the teacher.

I understand that , milleu. But to compare these two books , is not 'suitable'. Same genre but absolutely different storyline. |

Yeah. Btw guys , just to add some info here , there is also a movie of Ayat-Ayat Cinta. Perhaps if you want to know the storyline first , you can watch the movie. But ofcourse , novels are always better than movies , right? This post has been edited by Massa: Feb 18 2009, 03:47 PM |

Still, it's kinda far-fetched for me... I dunno la... @Massa I can't stand Maria, actually. I like her in the early part of the book. Then when she got to be a buddinski, then I get pissed. Heheh. No pain when she dies.  @ Shah & Luna It's a good book. Any book by Pak Habib is a good bet. Di Atas Sajadah Cinta is great as well. And AADC is lightyears away from AAC.

for romance novel plot, it's one of the good book I've read
it's not usually for me to pick up a malay book and continuously reading it.
i'll probably give it 8 stars out of 10.
i haven't seen the movie yet. but been planning to see it if i got a chance.

Di Atas Sejadah Cinta is also in the same grain as Ayat-ayat Cinta, and it was a worthwhile read, I think -- but the emotional rollercoaster and all is pretty much the same between the two, but that may just be me. |
