context: The story began when a man name Fahri bin Abdillah went to Egypt to take a master's degree majoring Islam at the University of Al-azhar, Cairo. He is not rich but he is smart. He got a scholarship from his former school; his parents even had to sell their rice field. Fahri is a perseverant and disciplined man. He even has a life map for himself. He planned to get married when his paper would be accepted by the faculty. But the problem is, he never had any relationship with a woman. He only was close to two women in his life, which were his mom and his grandmother.
  First there was Maria Girgis, the neighbor who admired Fahri although she was a Coptic-Christian. Maria was an open-minded girl who was really attracted by the Al Quran, the 'holy bible' of the Islam. Her admiration changed into love. But she kept it a secret to herself and her diary. After Maria appeared Nurul in Fahri's life. She was an Indonesian student like Fahri. They loved each other but none of them knew it or had the courage to reveal. Fahri considered himself inferior to be Nurulâs husband because Nurul was a daughter of a famous Muslim cleric in Indonesia. He thought he doesnât deserve her.
  In that situation Noura, a humble Egyptian girl from next door also had certain feelings for that rice field boy who got a scholarship. Fahri cherished a deep empathy for that girl. Actually no more than empathy but the girl interpreted it differently and more in a romantic way. This misunderstanding led to a tremendous problem as Noura accused Fahri from raping her.
  Finally Aisha appeared. Her beautiful eyes really captured Fahri's heart. In a metro incident in which Fahri defended the Islam from being narrow-minded, Aisha fell in love with him.
  However Fahri didnât want Aisha to have more than a formal relationship before being married. He really believed that. So, for him it was a matter of religious fact and faith, not only matter of love.The best part of this film is the protagonist, the little twist and turn at the bottle.
  How a strict perseverant man like Fahri will handle this? Which heart would Fahri take? Could he overcome and get through it all in the Islamic way?
