"MUSHAF" by NIMRAH AHMED

BOOK REVIEW:  

“MUSHAF” written by “NIMRAH AHMED”

Some books have magic to change our way of thinking. For me Mushaf was that magic book which describes about another good book Mushaf mean Islamic book “ Quran e Pak” the last holy book which Allah sent down to people for the whole life guide of man.  This is one of the best novel of Nimrah Ahmad which made me cried, emotional and introduced me with new perspective. I count this novel as one of my favorite novels. I really enjoyed the concept of the novel, the relation of Quran with life. The way writer described the importance of understanding Quran by relating the different Quranic verse with different situation was unique and inspiring. This made the story more powerful. The novel made me to think in a different way. It made me realize that how wrong I did by reading Quran without understanding it meaning. I call this novel a guideline book for me as sometime all we need in our busy life was the reminder, the guidance and this novel did this thing for me. 

Apart from this I must say the novel has brilliant theme, meaningful messages, strong characters, inspiring dialogue, great story and all that which a reader want in any novel. I recommend this novel to everyone especially to those who need to remember about religion and need some motivation. Those who want to read a great, amazing and inspiring novel not miss that novel.  I really enjoyed reading of this novel because it looked the story of me, the story of all of us not exactly in the same way but it links with our lives. I really like the message at the end and this is one of the reason I select this novel for my review which was its end not to stop motivating others toward the right path, knowledge of Quran. I really believed if one read this book he/she really get some motivation or lesson from this novel. 

Mushaf novel was all about the importance of reciting and understanding Quran-e-Pak deeply in our life. Here is the story line of the novel for those who want to know the about the story.

The story describes about the live of girl and how her life changed after deep analysis of Quran . Mehmal Ibraheem who was an orphan and lived in a joined family with her mother, taya and chachas family who did not treat them well and did not give their rights in property, her cousins was jealous of her beauty as every proposal came for them asked for mehmil. She was very disappointed from her life and found no guild line in her life. basically the novel starts with mehmil on a bus stop where she daily noticed a girl who was completely covered in hijaab and was holding a book with black cover about which she told her that it was a magic book in which there was story of everyone, the book knows about everyone life’s and if you follow it you would have the whole world and if you leave it you would have nothing which increased the suspense of mehmal in it one day she asked the girl for that book because she wants to change her life but later she found it was Quran. She gets anger on such a joke as she was excepting some magic book which changes her life but her life finally changed when her cousin fawad trapped her in love and sell her to hamayun for money from where she manages to run away and reached on the roof of madrassa where she meet her step sister Farishaty about which she know later and there she found Hamayun was not a police man who made a complete plan to got prove against fawad to arrest him.

Farishatay was another important character of the novel. Farishatay was Hisifa and teach quran to other girls in madrisa and each conversation of mehmil and farishtay motivate mehmil to learn about Quran more deeply by knowing it translation. When mehmil start going to madrassa and learn Quran. she realized that Quran was written for her, Quran talk to her and guide her in all situations. Whenever she needs help, she open Quran and perfect verses related to that situation open and Quran answer all its questions. Her life starts to changed in positive way. She start talking help form Quran in every difficulty and start understanding message of Quran and found noor in her life.

Her husband gave her divorced and her son hates her. mehmil again starts reciting quran daily for help and Allah help her. Every problem gets resolved by their own she proved innocent, her son attracts towards her again and her taya and cousins get punishment from Allah. her sister who lived in the Islamic atmosphere, know Quran more deeply  loose from the girl Mehmil who forgave everyone and separate from their life with her son. so her sister married with Hamayo.
