Verses of Love
by Habiburrahman El Shirazy
Description
Fahri bin Abdillah is an Indonesian student who tried to reach his master's degree at Al-Azhar. He struggles with various targets and the simplicity of life. He makes a living by translating religious books. Fahri goes through everything enthusiastically except one: getting married. Courtship before marriage is not his thing. Throughout his life, the only women in his life are his grandmother, mother, and sister. Moving to Egypt has changed that.
There is Maria Girgis. A neighbor who is Christian but admire the Qur'an, and admire Fahri. Her admiration turns into love. Unfortunately, Maria only expresses her feelings in her diary.
And there is also Noura, a neighbor who is tortured by her own father. Fahri empathizes with Noura and wants to help her. What he feels toward her is only empathy. But Noura expects more.
Lastly, comes Aisha into his life. A girl he defends in a heated debate in a metro. Each of the three girls has a role that will shape Fahri's life. But who will betray him? Who will die? And who will stay by his side?
