Book Review: Darbaar-e-dil by Umera Ahmed

It’s an Umera Ahmed
novel so many of you must have already read it, but I thought it’s such a
teaching piece of literature that it should be farther recommended to those who
haven’t yet had the privilege of reading it.
It’s a must read for girls especially of ages 14-18; even if
you’re older than this; I think it can still teach any lass a lot. It’s a story
laying emphasis on the beautiful fact that there is no one who loves us more
than our Lord. It’s a story of the strength of prayer, it’s a story of the
foolishness of “ashraf-ul-makhlookat”. It’s a story of bending our destiny,
changing our fate by the strength of prayer. It’s a story teaching us that:
“[b/Israel 17:11] And man prays for evil like the way he
seeks goodness; and man is very hasty.”
It’s a story underlining the significance of the fact that
Allah chooses what is best for us always.
It’s the story of the life of a girl who preferred the love
of a mortal man and abandoned the love of God for it, she forgot:
Her life was moulded by her prayers and to find out the
answers of her Almighty Lord to her prayers, do read: “darbaar-e-dil.” You
won’t be wasting your time or energy.

Ive read only 2 novels by Umera Ahmed so far which were very powerful. Made me a fan. But this one was a lil disappointing, I mean how could a girl or anybody with that strong character and faith fall in "ishq" with a voice over the phone ?! the plot could have been better but the message is good ! nice recommend :)
ReplyDeletei thought it was a good read for young immature minds, i basically recommended it for everyone's younger sisters :) i'll try to recommend one that doesn't disappoint you in the least bit; which two of umera's novels have u read?

ReplyDeleteah yes it will be a good read for young immature minds :) Peer-e-kamil and La-hasil.
ReplyDeleteyup, they are both brilliant but la hasil was really depressing! i'm trying to get my hands on a novel not available anywhere on the internet; you'll probably like that a lot, u just have to wait until i get it :)
ReplyDeleteyeah quite a shattering one !
