I know it's a great message that you can find everyday answer in Holy Quran and I firmly belive it is the absolute truth, but the way it is presented in this novel made it some sort of 1 dimensional thing. A girl who had no knowledge of arabic language, who had never recited this book in her whole life finding answers just by reading few verses. Get real! It's Holy Quran, the books of signs not a manual. Some people spend there life in understanding just ONE QURANIC VERSE!! I might've tolerated it if 3 out of 100 time she get her answer directly and for the remaining 97 time she had to do some little research and some consultation with a mufti, but no she gets answers on daily basis by just reading or listening to FEW verses. Ok.. so i was anticipating since long to read this book and now i have.. I loved the theme around which Nimra Ahmed plotted her story, but her plot is not that strong and grand as its theme is. I loved the parts where she explained how to read Qura'n and how to relate with it, i loved the way she explained importance of religion God and Mushaf but the only point on which i object is that she all done it through exaggeration. She did not weave a normal life scenario, there were so many loop holes in the personality of the protagonist Mehmil, and im mentioning those loop holes because they are hindering me to accept the spiritual journey of Mehmil. She never maintained her self respect, I didnt observe poetic justice in this novel as well. I felt Mehmil should be reagrded more. Verily, for those who have believed and done righteous deeds, the Most Merciful will appoint for them affection.

Advanced index that includes the arrangement of the Qoran in the parts, and another index of the Sura, and you can search in both indexes. I don't think we humans even think about it to pay gratitude to the other who always do mercy on us. We even forget the attitude of our parents, while we know no-one will be more loyal to us rather then our mother and father. But Allah didn't do it he remembers each and every bit of out righteousness for rewarding us and our faults to forgive us. As in this book Muhmal was the one blessed person to get changed her whole life and do believe on everything and decision came by the Allah. And i read the life changing story of her here, how crucial moment was that when her life was out of her hands she believes on people and her own sister came as an angel to guide her, to get help from Quran and after reading verses of Quran whole scenario was changed. The plot of the story was not very unconventional as there were many times when you were made to think of the scenes of a typical Pakistani drama where girls are shamelessly beaten and abused by their families for the unjust inheritance of wealth. The end in that way was also typical where the old yet a proud mother is shown who is extremely happy at how her young son has grown up to be while the rest of the family reaps the sown seeds of abuse as each one of them faces the wrath of nature. The heroin's mom; oooh I wanted to slap her so hard for being such a weak, stupid woman. Not only she is weak but she doesn't even learn from her mistake. Also, did i mention that i didn't like the heroin AT ALL. She is hypocrite and has different set of standards for different situations. The scene during which she enters into the police guy's (forgot his name) home, WITHOUT his permission and tries to kill him was sooo idiotic and is completely out of character for heroin, here she didn't remember she has to travel "pul e sirat" after her death but in next scene when she visits the police guy in hospital and he asks her to stay for few more minutes she suddenly remember that she is with a "na mehram" alone and she has to travel "pul e sirat". I read Mushaf in digest and every month, I couldn't wait for the next episode. This novel is magnificent and well-beyond description. I just love reading it again and again after every few months.Mushaf is free and easy app to read Quran , (An electronic Quran) with unique features (reading - listening - memorizing the children - interpretation) In true Nemrah style, she manages to portray the beautiful relation that can be built with the ‘Mushaf’. I found it to be a unique tale, one that is interesting and meaningful, a reminder of how flimsy and temporal this wordly life is. rage-inducing tbh! the theme was extremely enticing but the execution was extremely flawed. the Quran is meant to be explored and read in depth. there are people who have dedicated their lives to interpreting and finding solutions using the Quran as the source. usually references are given from many different sources for one question. this whole book was just ssssssssoooooooo frustrating. why didn't the protagonist use the Quran to find solutions to her problems in a comprehensive way? if you love the Quran so much like you say you do, it would make much more to do that. and why didn't she ever employ hadith? hadith can be extremely relevant to life problems specifically because of the sheer number of them that have come out of real life scenarios. also, it's very weird that this book is all about using the Quran to guide you yet there is no mention of the ayats regarding divorce? it's just so funny to me that this book is full of shaming people for not being religious yet

The book also clarifies the concept of making Dua. It is true that we can ask for anything in this world and the hereafter and God has promised to bless us with if its good for us, but we often forget the essence of it all. Farishtay started asking for Humayun in every single dua she made, all her practices initially were focused on pleasing and connecting with her God and then all he practicing became on pleasing Him to get Humayun somehow. The beauty that was so evident in her workshop in the initial chapters of the book was lost. The thing i like the most in this book is that she explain quran in daily life. We take Quran for granted that how it will help us? Indeed it does to our ancestor or forefathers and to us too. We have to make our lives according to Quran. Our 98% problems will be resolved. Wehr, Hans. A Dictionary of Modern Written Arabic (PDF) (3rded.). Spoken Language Services Inc. p.523 . Retrieved 27 June 2018. It has been ages since I read a "HARDCOPY" of a book because I am addicted madly to my collection of ebooks, and even more ages since I read a book IN A DAY, with only very short breaks.It was beautiful and this book transcends the usual fictional stuff we read because it explains the soul purpose of our life. It is such a well rounded book mashaaAllah and completely covers everything you might have gone through or ever wondered about. Although at times I did find it a bit too on the surely-no one-can-do-all-this and a little over the top but I think that might be due to the reason that our lives haven't been touched and we have not reformed spiritually.The explanation of Quranic verses, the significance of being truthful, the crushing weight of being a selfless giver.... there is so much you can learn from this novel. Secondly she tried to tell us what Islam is, i love the passage where she has define the difference between Religion and Islam. Indeed Islam is a complete code of conduct to spend whole life and it will not get old as per modern notions. And he chosen this religion for us. But all this happened in her life due to Allah, because she got the love of Allah and HE listen to her, sent her help. Indeed this book is fiction but this happened in our lives too. He sent his angels in the war against non Muslims to HIS beloved prophet. We are never equal to Hazrat Muhammad SAW but HE never left us alone too. We just needed faith on it. Thirdly she discussed about patience and from the life of holy prophet we can learn the lesson of patience by reading and listening different events, and these events or incidents were too much painful but HE remain patient and Allah has promised to give best reward in its response now we have open choice to choose our way.

Love just love such a motivating one .I just feel ashamed because there were many things which I didn't know before .This story motivates me to recite Quran with Urdu translation. I m very excited because it seems I ll also find many answer of my questions there .This is also included in my resolution for 2019 .InshaAllah I ll inshaAllah .I experienced many feelings at a time I was hurt I was heart broken and I just thought why so many hardships just on those who are true followers of Quran .This afraid me and frightens me . Madigan, Daniel. The Qur'an's Self-Image: Writing and Authority in Islam's Scripture, Princeton University Press, 2001. Arabic Tafsir(Commentary) "Al-Saa'di, Ibn-Katheer, Al-Baghawy, Al-Qortoby, Al-Tabary and Al-Waseet".If you will follow the path of Allah and keep the patience with you in every hardship indeed he'll be with you. Like on the death of our beloved we speak with out thinking that in which sense we are talking about so we have to be careful at the moment also remember the words of Hazrat Muhammad SAW on the death of his son. He said it's painful but he have to be patient because Allah is happy with his move and it will be best for me. The book with its end has really pushed me to approach the Holy Quran from a different angle to achieve guidance and not just recite for the sake of it. In Arabic, al-Qur’ān means 'the Recitation', and Islam states that it was recited orally by Muhammad after receiving it via the angel Gabriel. The word muṣḥaf is meant to distinguish between Muhammad's recitations and the physical, written Quran. This term does not appear in the Quran itself, though it does refer to itself as a kitāb (كِتَابٌ), or book or writings, from yaktubu (يَكْتُبُ) or to write, in many verses. [3] [4]
