This book? Well let me tell you something, if you’re seeking some light in life and wanted badly to turn the current routine into the one which is right— that’s for you.
This book is more of a spiritual experience then anything in the world. While reading it, I feel this book (though I did skip some lines where the scenes were described) but this was a one sitting reading stuff.
The character of Momin was leading and the way he belonged to a family, kind of spiritual and working calligraphy over ALLAH’s name and Quran words, and his style of living life being in the world of game and glamour and then leading the right path. This was indeed a self reflected and deep thinking novel. The Momina (an actress) Character or Taha’s or Husnay jahan, every thing was beautiful and nicely written.
How being a human we keep running after materialistic things and instead of approaching peace, we wanted money and fame and power and that’s where the actual meaning of life lost. For me this was a strong read and during this book, I saw myself going through a lot of phases and I must say the writer did fantastic job.
