Abe hayat is the continuation of umera ahmed's wonderful book peer e kamil. This book stores a lot of precious lessons for us and is a must read for every book lover.The story of imama and salar continues to get interesting as their life moves on. The difficulties and hardships they face together makes their bond stronger than ever. Abbe hayat made me love the two characters even more! This story tells the struggle of Salar to create an islamic banking system and shows the undying support of immama for this cause. The creation of halal system of banking is an example that nothing is impossible even if it seems difficult to do because if we have true intentions for some good purpose Allah always helps us.The beautiful upbringing of their children Jibreal,Hameen ,Anaya and Raisa is written in an amazing way. Their journey greatly inspires the reader and strengthens our belief in Allah(s.w.t) that He plans the best for us and takes care of his beloved people,”they plan,and Allah plan.Surely Allah is the best of planners.” It tells us that we just need to be patient in difficult times,pray to Allah and be thankful for His blessings. This book strengthens our belief that Allah has the control of everything and miracles do happen if Allah wants because beyshak Allah har cheez par qadir hai. Woh KUN kehta hai aur cheezain hojati hain. Guman se aagey. Beyan sey bahr.
The extremist in islam who have the misconception that they follow their religion in the perfect way are also shown in the novel( the family of saeed). Eventhough, this book is a bit lengthy but I never got tired of reading it and have read in multiple times and surprisingly everytime it gets more and more interesting for me.
