BOOK REVIEW: 

"DARBAR-E-DIL" by "UMERA AHMED"

I believe that a book lead our thinking in the right or wrong way and leave us with some lesson. I found Dabar-e-Dil such a good novel which left me with some good lesson, the lesson to believe more strongly in prayers, patients and that Allah is the best planner. The title of the story “Darbar-e-Dil” portrayed it a love story. In the beginning it seemed to be a social romantic novel but the ending changed my perspective and I found it a completely different novel with amazing ending. The novel which look average to me after finishing its reading i totally fell in love with it and count it as one of my favorite novel.

This was the second novel of my life which I found overall as a worth reading novel. The thing which made it best for me was the message or meaning the novel has at the end for me, for all of us which change our perceptions about Dua and Sabar. I recommend this novel everyone especially teenagers girls who want everything in life right away and to all those who wants to start reading novels from a short story can must read this novel as it is good book to start with.

Here below is the story line of darbar-e-dil so that one gets idea about the story of this novel.

Darbar e dil is the story of a girl Meher who was very religious and believed that Allah always listened upon her prayers. The only thing which irritates her was today youngsters love stories while her one friend was fond of love stories and the story shows their argument on this topic many times. Mehar always argued that love was just a stupid thing and she never fall in love with anyone.

Other strong character of the story is murad who belonged from upper class family, liberal in his thought and for him love was a fun. One day due to miss connection of the telephone lines Murad unintentionally listen the conversation of Meher with her friend, the thing which attract murad was the argument of meher against love. He bet with his friend to trap the girl meher in his love. He by using his connection found the number of Meher house and start calling her on daily basis. First Meher ignore her but with the passage of time she fall in love with that guy and asked him to marry her. For murad it was all for the fun so he decided with his friend to call that girl somewhere and insult her. He called Meher and creates the scene that he was dying and wants to meet Meher for the last time but she could not go there because of some reasons. 

Meher prayer a lot for her life and start waiting for her call but as the time passed and he could not call her. She thought that she lost him and her prayers were not listened by Allah which changed her life. She leaves all her religious practices and starts following western life style.

Murad mother wants that he marry with her friend daughter who was very religious but when Murad went there with her mother to her friend house he found the same girl and forced her mother that he will only marry with that girl as after seeing that girl who was completely change her mother was against this marriage. On his wish her mother agreed and they both get married. For the girl it was just her parent’s decision as she loves someone else.

Time passed and one day when Murad and his friend are remembering their past fun Murad wife comes to know that the boy he loves was Murad and she realized that she ruined the 3 years of her life for that guy for whom that was all fun. She forgets the path of Allah for him. She at once leaves the house and on her way when murad called her, she told him that she was the girl whom he used to call and trap her in love and suddenly an accident happened exactly in the same way as Murad portrayed her accident on call with meher 3 years back.
