Verses of Love

Fahri, now living in Edinburgh and even a lecturer at the University of Edinburgh, was forced to live his daily life alone. Together with Uncle Hulusi, his Turkish household assistant, he continued his life without Aisha. Sometimes Fahri was still crying when he remembered his memories with Aisha. The fact that his beloved wife now vanished somewhere, made him miserable and almost desperate. So he spends his days immersing himself in the busy work, research, teaching, and business that he and Aisha shared together. Aisha disappeared on a trip to Palestine with her girlfriend while wanting to make stories and reportage about life there. Aisha's friend was found in a state of loss of life and body condition is pathetic and very likely Aisha condition is also the same even though her body has not been found at this time. For more than two years Fahri grieved and drowned in the search for his beloved wife. He also moved to Edinburgh because that is the city that Aisha really liked in the plains of England. With his busy self, he tried to get rid of his sadness while improving the image of Islam and Muslims in the first world. He does good to his neighbors, spreads the science of religion on various parties, and helps people who need help regardless of feathers. Various activities busied himself, until a disturbing question came from various parties. Will he be single for life after Aisha left? Will he meet his wife again?

This is a love story. But not just a simple love story. It's about how to deal with the ups and downs of life's problems in the Islamic way. Fahri bin Abdillah is an Indonesian student trying to reach his master's degree in Al-Azhar. Fatigue with the dust of Egypt. Dwell with a variety of targets and simplicity of life. Persisting with being a translator of religious books. All Fahri's targets were enthusiastically excited except one: getting married. Fahri is an obedient man who is so straight. He does not know the courtship before marriage. He is less articulate when confronted with a creature named woman. There are very few women close to him all along. His grandmother, his mother and his sister. Moving to Egypt made that change. It was Maria Girgis. One flat neighbor who is a Coptic Christian but admire the Qur'an, and admire Fahri. Admiration turned into love. Unfortunately, Mary's love is only poured in the diary only. Then there is Nurul. The son of a famous kyai who also dredge knowledge in Al-Azhar. Actually Fahri put heart on this sweet girl. Unfortunately his sense of inferiority that only a son of farmers made him never show any taste to Nurul. While Nurul was hesitant and always guessing. After that there is Noura, also a neighbor who always tortured his own father. Fahri was full of empathy with Noura and wanted to help her. Unfortunately only empathy. No more. But Noura is expecting more. And later this becomes a big problem when Noura accuses Fahri of raping her. Last Aisha appeared. The beautiful eyes that bewitch Fahri. Since an incident on the metro, when Fahri defended Islam from allegedly stodgy and rigid accusations, Aisha fell in love with Fahri. And Fahri also can not lie to his heart.
