Maria.
Maria!
Fahri?
I need...
An Arabic dictionary?
No.
An English dictionary?
Then what?
I need...
I need you to come over to my flat.
Now.
Where are you going, Maria?
One moment, Mama. I'm going to Fahri's flat.
Please.
My problem is, I don't know what's wrong with this.
Did you forget to update the antivirus again?
The virus has wiped out all of your files.
Do you have any back-ups?
What kind of files?
Plenty. But what matters most is my thesis proposal.
When is the deadline?
Three more days.
Fahri, you're not alone here.
Yeah, Subhanallah, Maria!
I'm trying to find that book about the prophet David...
-There, on the table. -We don't have it.
We do. Just try to look for it.
Mango juice.
-From who? -From her.
Al-Qur'anul Karim.
-Assalamu'alaikum. -Wa'alaikumsalam, Fahri.
Ful!
Alhamdulillah, I'm so relieved.
Nurul told me that Mr. Jalal has extended the deadline
until next week. So we can ease up a little.
That's good.
Who's Nurul, Fahri?
Nurul is our friend.
She is Ustad Jalal's niece. My mentor.
She often helps us if we have problems.
My Beloved...
-Alhamdulillah, parcels! Thank you. -Give me some.
No way! It's all mine!
-You're stingy! -Don't be like this.
Just ask nicely!
Finished, Fahri?
-Yes! Alhamdulillah. -Finished, right?
Give it back now!
Crazy.
What did you study today?
There was a sudden quiz. Thank God I already studied.
Nusantara Lodge
-Assalamu'alaikum. -Wa'alaikumsalam.
Congratulations, Fahri. Hope you finish your thesis this year.
Alhamdulillah.
Wedding Invitation
Hey, congrats.
-Assalamu'alaikum. -Wa'alaikumsalam.
-Congratulations. -Thanks.
-Fahri? -Congrats.
-Okay. Assalamu'alaikum. -Wa'alaikumsalam.
-Hey, congratulations. -Thank you.
Here.
-What's that? -Nurul...
Apparently you are a celebrity.
Let's go upstairs.
So regeneration is very important.
This organization is like a campfire.
The members are the firewood.
To keep the fire burning,
we have to continually find new firewood.
How come a guy like Fahri isn't married yet?
-What is he waiting for? -Would you want to be with him?
You bet I would.
Be quiet!
Even if there's only one person who is willing to support it,
if it's God's will, then it will happen.
TARGETS - THESIS TRANSLATE BOOK - GET MARRIED
I am not forcing you, son. You are a big boy now.
Marriage is your personal affair. I'm just reminding you.
I haven't been able to fulfill your and father's wishes yet, Mother.
I haven't yet found the woman that Allah has chosen for me.
Isn't there an Indonesian girl who is suitable for you?
How about Nurul? The one you often mention?
Nurul is just a friend, Mother.
Moreover, it's impossible for a daughter of Kyai Sirath
to be interested in a man like me.
If Allah has intended so, anyone can become your soulmate.
Yes, Mother.
-Assalamu'alaikum. -Wa'alaikumsalam.
Fahri! Where are you going?
To Talaqqi at Al Azhar. Why?
Can you buy me a CD? It's hot outside.
It's your favorite.
The CD is on me.
Thanks a lot for the mango juice.
You're welcome.
What kind of human being are you?
You can't even carry this thing up!
You prostitute!
It's very hot here.
It's common, Fahri.
What is this? Another letter?
You keep it, Sheikh. Holding it scares me.
This is why we are supposed to get married.
Aside from perfecting religion,
marriage is to avoid slander.
And also to give spiritual composure.
Assalamu'alaikum.
How are you, Fahri?
Wa'alaikumsalam.
How are you?
Alhamdulillah.
Where have you been?
From Talaqqi.
How was soccer yesterday? Who won?
Zamalek, of course.
Fahri, those are American infidels.
How was the football, Ashraf? Tell me.
You didn't watch?
I fell asleep.
No no no, please take my seat.
It's okay. I apologize for their behavior. They don't understand.
Muslim woman, why did you offer her your seat?
They are infidels!
Well, I couldn't just let her stand up.
They deserve it! We're intentionally not giving them seats.
Are you a Muslim or not?
I'm sorry. She's just trying to help.
My mom's not feeling good. She's hot.
Islam teaches us to be kind to all human beings.
But not to American infidels!
Do you know what the Americans did in Afghanistan, Palestine, Iraq?
They're accusing muslims of being terrorists
whereas in fact they are the terrorists!
I don't care about all that!
Wait! Remember Our Prophet.
Peace be upon him.
Who are you? What is your problem?
I am an Indonesian and you have offended The Prophet.
You have defied The Prophet and will be hostile toward Allah
later on judgement day.
He is an Al Azhar student from Indonesia,
one of Sheikh Utsman's Talaqqi students.
If you are indeed one of Al Azhar's,
what do you know about the suffering of the Arab nation?
If any foreigners have entered a country legally,
then their honor and safety must be protected.
They're not foreigners! Americans are terrorists! Infidels!
Muhammad, peace be upon him, said, "He who hurts foreigners,"
"hurts me. And whoever hurts me,"
"hurts Allah."
We may hate somebody's bad deeds.
But we still have to maintain fairness.
Stop it! What have you done?
You could be jailed, for Allah's sake!
Be patient! Call Allah's name!
Calm down, everybody. Please calm down.
Hey. I'm Alicia. Thank you so much for your help back there.
You're welcome. My name is Fahri. I'm very sorry...
but in Islam, men cannot touch women except his wife
or his relatives.
Really? Actually, I'm a journalist from America.
And I'm here researching about Islam.
Do you think we could talk more?
Here's my card.
Okay, I'll help you.
-This is my card. -Okay.
Great, thank you so much...
-for your time. -You're welcome, yes.
-Thank you, Indonesian. -You're welcome.
-Are you an American? -No, I'm German.
Do you speak German?
A little, alhamdulillah.
My name is Aisha.
My name is Fahri.
Is this yours?
Alhamdulillah.
I thought it was lost.
You are a good muslim.
I rarely come across a muslim like you.
-Assalamu'alaikum. -Wa'alaikumsalam.
Uncle.
Do you know an Al Azhar student from Indonesia?
His name is Fahri.
Fahri...
Oh yes, I know him.
He is Sheikh Utsman's favorite student, the Talaqqi teacher.
Why?
Nothing.
Fahri?
Maria?
What are you doing here?
Before I got here,
there were only two things that I admired about Egypt.
Namely Al Azhar and the river Nile.
Because there would be no Egypt without the Nile.
And there would be no Al Azhar.
I love the Nile, too.
If the Nile didn't exist, there would absolutely be no Egypt.
No civilization. Only desert.
Do you believe in soulmates, Fahri?
Yes. Everyone has...
Their own soulmate.
That's what you always say.
I think Egypt and the Nile are soulmates.
How wonderful it would be if we could find the one
that God has chosen for us from heaven.
Not from heaven, Maria. But from the heart.
Very near.
Astaghfirullah. Sorry, Maria, I have to go.
-Assalamu'alaikum. -Wa'alaikumsalam, Fahri.
I almost forgot to give you that dictionary.
You need it, don't you?
To write the article your American friend asked you to?
What about the spongecake?
That's because I remember that you always forget to eat.
-Thank you, Maria. -You're welcome, Fahri.
Uncle, when will you tell Fahri?
-Have you spoken to your father? -I have, Uncle.
I told you that father wants you to speak to Fahri.
Be patient. I'm busy correcting dissertations.
I still have piles of them.
Don't pout. Okay, I'll talk to Fahri this month.
Thanks, Uncle.
Noura!
You prostitute!
Hey! Listen to me!
Maria, did you hear that?
I do what I want.
Yes.
-Forgive me... -You prostitute!
Can you help Noura? I can't bear to look at her.
Oh, Fahri! You know how Bahadur is, right?
This is too much, Maria.
Please.
I can't stand to see a woman cry.
Sleep here! Until morning!
Maria?
Noura, come with me.
Noura.
Noura, come with me.
It's all my fault.
-Come on. -Leave me alone.
Let her! Let her die there!
Noura, hurry.
Noura, wake up.
Come on.
Noura!
Who kidnapped my daughter? Who?
Who kidnapped my daughter?
Who? Hey, Indonesian! Did you kidnap my daughter?
-Don't! -I'll smash your head!
I'll blow your brains up!
Let go of me!
Noura!
My father wants to sell me.
He wants me to become a prostitute.
Noura.
Yes, Bahadur.
Pretty. Different from your other daughters.
He said...
I'm not his daughter.
I was exchanged when I was a baby.
So I deserve to be sold.
Noura, I promise to help you.
Nurul, please let Noura stay with you for a while.
I'll ask my friend who works at the Intelligence Department
to look for Noura's real parents.
But I'm afraid.
Nurul, helping your fellow muslims is obligatory according to the law.
I often see her being beaten.
Please, help.
So as young Egyptian men, you must have the courage
to break through traditions. Sleeping after prayers at dawn
is not a good tradition, because religion suggests
we should pursue activities after prayers at dawn until dusk.
In His Wish.
-Sheikh Ahmad. Assalamu'alaikum. -How are you? Wa'alaikumsalam.
-How are you? -Alhamdulillah.
How is my teacher, Sheikh Utsman?
He's fine, alhamdulillah.
I would to like ask for your help again, Sheikh.
More than just a missing passport.
What?
This is a matter of the life and death of a muslim woman.
God willing, I'll help you.
Mother.
God is great.
Dahlia, this is your sister.
Go ahead.
Fahri.
Thank you very much, Fahri.
Thanks to you, too.
Great man.
For Allah's sake, you are a noble man.
Thank you very much, Fahri.
To a man with a gentle heart.
For a long time I have tasted nothing but bitterness.
Darkened by suffering.
I have no one but Allah in my heart.
But you came with radiance.
I want to be the rightful one for you.
Have my brow kissed by you.
Have my tears wiped away by you.
From the one who always longs for your radiance, Noura.
Please help me, Fahri.
So Islam really honors women?
Well, Islam teaches us that heaven lies at our mother's feet
which is the basic principle that is written in the Hadith
which also explains that Islam really honors women.
But what about domestic violence within a marriage?
Doesn't the Koran state that a husband is allowed to hit his wife?
Many Muslim men who are cowards use the Book of An-Nisa
as an excuse to hurt their wife.
In fact, the book explains three steps
on how to deal with a disobedient wife,
which means a wife who doesn't respect the marital commitment.
The first is to give advice.
The second is to warn.
And the third, then you can hit her.
But not on the face.
And without the intention of actually hurting her.
It's all in here, Alicia.
Yes. Your English is great.
Thanks. Maria helped me.
Your girlfriend?
You already have a girlfriend?
No. Maria is my neighbor.
We don't recognize dating in Islam.
We usually do Taaruf.
I've also written in here.
Aisha, you said you came
from your relative's place in Kentaki Mahdi?
I know a senior friend at Sheikh Utsman's Talaqqi.
He's a Turkish man who lives near Kentaki Mahdi.
If I may guess, his name is Iqbal?
-Yes, right. -He's my uncle.
Subhanallah. It's a small world after all.
How is his research about Indonesia going?
It's going well. Because of him I have a deeper interest in Indonesia.
I like the culture.
Seems like you guys know each other quite well.
You make a good pair.
Well, thank you, Fahri.
I have to go back to America tomorrow.
-Assalamu'alaikum. -Wa'alaikumsalam.
Astaghfirullah.
Fahri
Judging from your present condition,
you should have done something, Fahri.
This is just a suggestion.
You can say no to her.
My ex-student is looking for a husband for his niece.
Do you want to do the Taaruf?
I have a potential bride for you.
Just accept it, Ri. From Sheikh Utsman, right?
-Yes, I know, Ful, but I... -I understand.
You still have your doubts about the concept of a chosen partner.
Taaruf is only about meeting each other.
Witnessed by family members.
If you like each other, you can step further into marriage.
But if you don't, you can consider it as two families
getting to know each other and maintaining a good relationship.
You also gain a new friend.
Everything depends on your faith now.
When you were a child, you used to play by this window.
I still remember how you laughed uproariously.
But lately I rarely hear that laugh.
Is it because of that Indonesian guy?
Mama!
Come on, you don't have to be like this.
Let's go to grandma's place in Hurghada.
It's been a long time since we last saw her, hasn't it?
Come on, Maria.
The taxi's waiting outside.
One moment, Mama.
I'm just the son of a local food salesman.
I don't have a steady job yet.
I don't feel worthy.
Istighfar, Fahri.
Marriage is an act of worship.
God willing, the way of fortune will be shown to you.
The most important thing is the morals.
-Assalamu'alaikum, Fahri. -Wa'alaikumsalam.
Now open your veil, Aisha.
Your husband to be has the right to see your real face.
Well, Fahri?
Ful!
-Ful! -What's the matter?
-I've found my soulmate. -Alhamdulillah.
I'm going to be married.
Maria?
They've all gone.
Gone where?
To Hurghada, since yesterday.
Thanks.
As long as she is religious and willing to come to Indonesia,
I will surely give my blessing.
But you know that your father and I can't endure long flights anymore.
Our prayers will be with you, son.
Congratulations.
What's wrong with you, Maria?
You're not going to call Fahri?
What's the matter?
No, Mama.
Thank you.
I bought you new books.
Oh? But I still have my books.
Why don't you give those to your friends?
What it is, Maria?
Nothing, Mama.
Where is Fahri, Syaiful?
Don't be afraid, Aisha.
It's fun, isn't it?
Aisha.
Isn't our flat too luxurious?
Honestly, I won't be able to pay the rent.
Honey, this is my mom's flat.
It's okay if we stay here for a while, isn't it?
You can study in peace. I too can write my book.
But It's your decision and I will follow you.
You are my imam.
Are you still planning to pick up the computer from the flat?
It's Fahri.
What time do you want me to pick you up?
Isn't his wife pretty?
No wonder he married her. She's rich, just look at them.
Don't be envious. It's not good.
-Hey, how are you? -Fine, alhamdulillah.
I'm going out, okay?
-Assalamu'alaikum. -Wa'alaikumsalam.
Assalamu'alaikum, Nurul. How are you?
Wa'alaikumsalam.
Hey, is it finished?
Alhamdulillah.
How are you, Maria?
I don't understand, Ful. What's wrong with Maria and Nurul?
You fool.
You really don't understand or are you just pretending?
What do you mean?
What? I have no idea what I did wrong.
Forget it. Just introduce Aisha to both of them.
Maria.
Maria, come on.
I'm not coming, Ma.
Fahri is your friend. Do you want to disappoint him?
Fahri, Aisha, we have a gift for you.
Please don't judge by its value. It's the thought that counts.
Thank you, Madam.
What's the matter, Maria?
Don't.
Thank you.
Alexandria is really hot right now. The tide is rising.
But I like it.
Fahri. Why does it seem like Maria doesn't like me?
Let's not jump to conclusions.
Perhaps Maria is tired after her trip to Hurghada.
She easily gets sick anyway.
Rud, whose turn is it to do the washing today?
-Andi. -No way!
I did my part already. Rudi hasn't done the ironing yet.
What's that?
My Nile is running dry because my Egypt is changing...
Aisha.
I've been thinking of taking up a side job.
I mean not just as a freelance writer.
What for? We have enough money already.
Why don't you just concentrate on your Master's degree?
But I'm the head of the family now.
I can't just sit here and do nothing.
Fahri, your responsibility is not only material.
We are married now. We have no material boundaries.
My money is also your money, honey.
But if you object, I have no problem living in a cheap flat.
Even without a car, it doesn't matter.
Fahri has always been very kind to me.
He's always sincere, too.
Never asks for anything in return, right?
Do you want an orange, Aisha? An apple?
Another drink maybe?
You are right, Ful. She should be introduced.
-Where is my computer? -I replaced it with this one.
I copied all your files here.
It's on auto save, so you just go ahead and use it.
Why didn't you tell me first?
I bought that computer with my own savings.
It reminds me of my hard times.
My memories with my friends. With Maria.
Do all your belongings have a connection with Maria?
-Why are you jealous? -I'm not jealous, Fahri.
-You're jealous, Aisha. -I'm just asking.
Thank you for saving Maria.
I'm very sure it wasn't an accident. It was intentional.
Fortunately I was quick enough to save her.
-Assalamu'alaikum. -Wa'alaikumsalam.
-How are you? -Fine, alhamdulillah.
Good evening. How can I help you?
I want...
-you to arrest somebody. -Who?
Somebody who raped my daughter!
What's wrong, Ustad?
-We want to talk about Nurul. -Nurul?
What's wrong with Nurul?
Nurul has suffered a lot. I hope you can understand.
What do you mean?
We're sorry, Fahri, that we had to come here.
Nurul has lost the light in her life.
What would you like me to do?
Marry Nurul.
Please, Fahri. I'm sure you can be fair.
Sorry, I don't want to.
When are you coming over? There is something important about Maria. - Syaiful
I never once thought about doing that.
But she loves you very much, Fahri.
Mere love is not enough, Ma'am.
That is not the only foundation for marriage in Islam.
I think you two have a better understanding of that.
What have you promised Nurul?
-We should go to sleep. -Are you hiding something from me?
For Allah's sake, Aisha, I'm not hiding anything.
I never promised anyone anything.
I only had one Taaruf and it was with you.
We have been married for almost one month! And you tell me now?
What about Maria?
Now who else wants you to marry them?
Leave it. I'll open the door.
Good evening.
Are you Fahri bin Abdullah?
-Yes, I am. What's the matter? -Come with us. You are under arrest.
On what charge?
You have raped an Egyptian woman called Noura.
Wait! This is slander! I never raped anybody!
-Cuff him! -This is slander!
Aisha, this is a mistake!
Call the embassy and Uncle Iqbal!
-Fahri! -It's slander, Aisha!
-Fahri! -Aisha!
Indonesian, you raped an Egyptian woman
named Noura on Thursday at 03:30 AM! Confess!
-Slander! This is slander! -You'd better confess!
Confess!
-I have to see my husband now. -No, you can't!
I have rights!
No, you can't!
A rapist can't be visited until the trial is settled.
-I have rights. -Impossible.
I am Fahri's wife!
I am innocent!
This is slander!
Shut up!
We can't be reckless. Remember, Aisha, this is not Germany.
We don't know how they implement the law here.
I know. I've made an appointment with an Indonesian lawyer.
-Indonesian? -Yes, why?
Are you sure?
He has been recommended by the embassy.
Aisha.
That wall is too strong for you to destroy.
Just accept it. We are all the same here.
No! I'm not the same!
I've been slandered! I'm not guilty!
I'm here because of the woman whose honor I defended.
-I'm different from you. -Anybody who is inside a jail
is the same!
God is not only for the righteous.
But also for the sinners.
So you still have German citizenship?
Aisha, as a lawyer,
I ask you to answer all these questions honestly.
You said that
you've only known your husband for a short time, right?
And then you did a Taaruf and got married right away.
What do you mean, Said Amri?
How well do you know him?
Are you sure that your husband is really innocent?
Please don't get mad at me. It's part of my job.
And I still need a lot of supporting evidence.
What are you looking for, Aisha?
Aisha.
I don't know!
I just want to see who my husband really is.
Who is Fahri? I know nothing about my husband.
Nobody can help me.
Try to talk to Nurul.
I will also help you.
Sheikh Utsman died.
Fahri and Maria brought Noura to my dormitory.
Then Fahri asked Noura to stay in my dormitory
while he went to find Noura's real parents.
So there was never any issue about rape.
He never even touched a female who was not his relative.
You're sure? You haven't forgotten anything?
I told you three times already, Aisha.
Then why did your uncle and aunt come to my flat
and ask Fahri to marry you?
Is there anything left unfinished between you two?
No, there is nothing unfinished.
It never even started.
-Assalamu'alaikum. -Wa'alaikumsalam.
Who is this?
I am Fahri's mother.
-Is Aisha there? -I am Aisha, Mother.
Aisha...
I heard that Fahri...
Laa ilaahaillallah. Allahu Akbar.
Aisha, you have to support Fahri. Astaghfirullaahal 'azhiim.
It's all slander.
I know Fahri. I've known him well, Aisha.
Hamid bin Jabar is pronounced guilty.
Next session. Fahri bin Abdullah Sidiq.
Back off.
Fahri bin Abdullah is prosecuted a sentence to hang
on a charge of raping Noura binti Adel.
He's being slandered! Slander!
My hobby is to hunt at midnight by climbing to the rooftop.
When I was up there, from a distance of about three meters,
I saw Noura in a flat on the third floor.
And it was Fahri who picked her up.
As far as I know, Noura always praised Fahri.
She never showed any sign that she was raped.
All this time I was admittedly violent towards Noura.
Very violent.
But on that night, that bastard stole Noura!
Hang him!
I'm very concerned about women's rights here in Egypt.
And I want whoever
raped my daughter, Noura, to be sentenced to death.
This country is among the respected in the world.
Enough. I've already explained everything back there.
Later, okay?
Noura!
-Noura! -Aisha.
My husband was willing to help you. Is this how you return his favor?
Slanderer!
I'm not a liar.
Slanderer!
I'm not a liar!
Look me in the eyes and tell me that Fahri raped you!
-This baby is proof! -That baby doesn't prove anything!
-Are you sure? -Slander!
-Noura! -Aisha.
Slanderer!
Since Maria was afraid of Bahadur,
she finally took me to Fahri's place.
At first...
he was very kind.
Eventually...
Fahri tried to seduce me and...
Calm down.
He raped me and now I'm having his baby!
It's slander!
Slander!
Your Honor.
I would like to make a motion to postpone trial
for the purpose of DNA testing when Noura's baby is born.
We don't have any knowledge of the condition of Noura's pregnancy.
There is the possibility of miscarriage.
And that DNA test cannot be performed on a fetus.
The trial continues and the motion is refused.
This is not fair!
We have to free Fahri.
Look at your face.
What if we bribe the judge?
I will pay any amount as long as--
No!
We don't live in this world forever.
Don't you do that, Aisha. Allah won't allow it.
Why don't you ask the Girgis family to be witnesses?
They didn't respond to the witness summons.
Your friends told me
that the Girgis family disappeared after Maria fell ill.
Maria had an accident, Ri.
Their flat has been empty since then.
We have to find Maria. She's my key witness.
Actually, there's one more piece of evidence.
But I'm not sure if it is strong evidence.
There's a love letter from Noura which I entrusted to Sheikh Utsman.
Time's up.
One moment.
Aisha, I'm sorry I didn't tell you about this but I really am innocent.
Come on quick!
One moment.
Come on quick!
Aisha.
Better for me to get beaten up in jail
than to know you have doubts about me.
How come an Al Azhar kid like you doesn't know the key to prayer?
Don't tell me you only pray when you're in trouble.
I apologize, Aisha.
The deceased was very strict in maintaining trust.
He never told me all this time
where he kept things people entrusted to him.
I apologize.
Aisha.
Aisha!
You're burning up.
Indonesian.
Letter of Announcement
Herewith we would like to inform you...
that Fahri Bin Abdullah is expelled from Al Azhar University.
"Expelled from Al Azhar."
It's not the end of the world, Fahri.
Hey, get up!
Get up, Fahri! Get up!
Allah is talking to you, Fahri!
Allah is reminding you not to be arrogant!
What wrong have I done to Allah?
Why would Allah do this to me?
Istighfar, Indonesian. Istighfar.
Think again about who you really are.
What have you done all this time?
Haven't you been arrogant, Fahri?
You think you are the most righteous.
You think you are the holiest.
Even in front of your own wife.
Do you remember
the tale of Joseph and Zuleika?
Zuleika accused Joseph of raping her.
But actually it was she herself
who couldn't resist his charm.
Slander! It's all slander, Fahri.
Zuleika accused Joseph of raping her so that Joseph would be imprisoned.
Did he revolt? No, Fahri.
Joseph knew that Allah was speaking to him.
You know what Joseph said?
Do you want to know what Joseph said?
He said, "Oh, Allah, if my life would have more meaning for me...
"here in jail than in the outside world,
"then I will choose to stay here in jail, close to you...
"rather than live together with liars."
Allah is telling you to be patient and sincere.
Patience. Sincerity.
That is Islam, Fahri.
Astaghfirullaahal 'azhiim.
Excuse me. I was informed that Madam Naher worked here.
Do you know where is she now?
She's taking care of her daughter who is in a coma in Hurghada.
Please ask for the address at administration.
-Thanks. -You're welcome.
Wait.
This is Maria's diary. It's what's inside her heart.
Fahri...
Fahri.
Maria was not open about certain things.
After you two got married, she didn't want to eat or drink.
After she recovered from the accident,
she didn't want to wake up anymore.
I intentionally took her away
from things that would remind her of Fahri.
But...
she still kept on saying Fahri's name.
Aisha.
I thought Muslims were close minded and self-righteous,
but after I met Fahri, I saw peace.
I could feel that Islam is truly a religion of peace.
Fahri opened my eyes to so many things...
Honestly, straight forwardness, modesty without cowardice.
Fahri also taught me that everyone is equal,
be it man or woman.
Oh Jesus, Fahri has consumed me.
Oh my Egypt, I want to be forever yours.
But Fahri has found his Nile and it isn't me.
Because Fahri and I are different.
Where are the others? Rudy, Syaiful, Hamdi?
But I still love him!
Indonesian, come here.
Somebody wants to see you.
Who?
I want to talk about Maria.
Everything is in here, Fahri.
Now tell me how you first met Maria.
I hope your voice can wake her up.
-I don't want to. -Please.
Please, Fahri.
When I first met you,
I knew that you were a good woman.
You are honest and straightforward.
Sorry, I must have the wrong address.
You're Indonesian? Downstairs.
Yes. Thanks.
-Let's pray. -Later.
-Assalamu'alaikum. -Wa'alaikumsalam, Maria.
I don't think the professor understood the Koran.
He said that "Alif Lam Mim" has no meaning.
In my opinion,
Alif Lam Mim is truly God's greatest and most awe-inspiring creation.
You don't believe it? I really like the Koran.
I've memorized the Book of Maryam.
For Allah's sake, Fahri.
To be honest, I was amazed by you.
Now say that you love her.
Time's up.
My time is up. Please think about it well.
This is for us.
Aisha, I love you.
Her condition is getting worse.
Let me have a look.
In a hot and crowded train,
there was a Coptic Christian girl who spoke of Alif Lam Mim.
She confessed the greatness of the Koran then recited the Book of Maryam.
Maria's depression is too deep.
Perhaps Fahri himself should come over.
Okay, I'm going to get Fahri out of jail.
For a maximum of three hours.
I will use your right as a German citizen.
As the German defense attache, Mr. Munich will be her guarantor
because Aisha is still a German citizen.
You can supervise the process.
I guarantee that we will not violate our agreement.
We area working now so many years together.
She needs your help, Fahri. Please talk to Maria.
You remember the mango juice you often made for me?
Or how you often asked me to buy you CDs?
Or your basket which often fell down?
Because it was too heavy to carry my books that you borrowed?
Wake up, Maria.
Her eyes have begun to move. But the movement is still weak.
Tell her that you'll marry her.
Aisha, polygamy is not that simple.
There are many things to be accounted for.
You're the one that I chose in the name of Allah.
The only one that I chose. You are my soulmate, Aisha.
Soulmates are Allah's secret, Fahri.
A part of Maria is muslim.
She needs you.
And the baby I'm carrying
needs its father.
Marry Maria.
Wake up, Maria.
I love you.
Do you still remember when we talked about soulmates by the Nile?
You have found your soulmate, Maria.
Fahri?
Don't ever leave me again.
I testify that there is no God but Allah.
And I bear witness
that Muhammad, peace be upon him, is the Messenger of Allah.
Thank you.
Maria has a heart anomaly.
To be honest, we can't figure out what's the cause.
But it's very possible it was triggered by her depression.
So what can we do, doc?
You have to keep her away
from excessive physical activities and emotional distress.
Does the defense have any new witnesses?
Yes, Your Honor.
I call Maria as a witness.
You said you did a hit-and-run and she died already.
I told you to kill her, right?
I boldly testify in the name of God Who Knows All...
Can I call my friend, Khadijah?
-Hello? Nurul? -Khadijah.
My father wants to sell me. Please help me, Khadijah.
-Where are you now? -I'm at Maria's place.
She's the one who saved me from my father.
It was Bahadur's fault!
It was he who raped me.
Bahadur has been assaulting me for a long time.
That day I purposely passed in front of Fahri's flat.
Because...
Because he hadn't answered my love letter.
Who helped you that night?
Answer me!
I love Fahri.
When I knew that Fahri was married already...
my heart broke.
So you chose to lie?
I...
I was afraid.
Afraid of losing my parents again.
You won't lose your parents, Noura.
They will surely forgive you.
Herewith I declare Fahri bin Abdullah Sidiq
cleared of all charges.
Fahri!
-Congratulations. God is great! -Long live Indonesia!
Long live Indonesia! God is great!
Congrats! Al Azhar surely will accept you again.
Your brother is free! Alhamdulillah! Alhamdulillah, dear!
Long live Indonesia!
Where do you want to sleep?
What should we do today?
You two have your own plans already?
-Okay, easy. -Yes.
-Hold me. -Easy.
Dear, can you come over here a moment?
Honey, come here, please?
Why hasn't the baby kicked yet? The baby sings?
-Fahri. -Yes.
Will you stay with me tonight?
You just need to select these folders.
You're so smart, my dear.
Where are you going, Aisha?
I want to visit my mother's grave in Turkey
with Uncle Iqbal.
Why is it so sudden? Why would you go with Uncle Iqbal?
-I can accompany you. -You have to take care of Maria.
-But you're pregnant, Aisha, our baby. -Please, Fahri.
I need some time alone.
For the sake of all of us, Fahri.
I'm confused.
How can I unite Aisha and Maria?
I don't even have one wife yet, Ri. How will I know how to handle two?
I'm tired, Ful.
Now, this is what I know.
You'll never be able to unite them, Ri.
All you can do
is just try to be fair.
But remember...
It's difficult to be fair to one wife. Let alone two.
It comes down to your faith.
Surrender everything to Allah.
Nobody ever asks for trouble.
But when troubles come to us, do we have to be angry?
Our life would be very exhausting.
As muslims, we must not give up.
Allah will always favor people who try.
It's not that I don't want to accompany you to Turkey...
But does it have to be now?
I need some time to understand all of this.
Accept sincerely, Aisha.
That's what I'm trying to do.
I can't sincerely accept that you are wealthier than me.
I can't sincerely accept that it is now the three of us.
And I don't know what is fair and how to be.
I will learn more.
But in order to do that, I need you.
Look! The position is good.
-I want to be a writer. -You can study in Paris.
There is Sorbonne University.
-It's good. Yeah. -Really?
What do you want to write?
I want to be a novelist. I want to be a famous novelist.
A famous novelist?
-What are you doing, Aisha? -I'm just taking a walk.
Your mother said if I want to give birth smoothly,
I have to walk often.
You'll also have to do it when you're pregnant later.
-Aisha! -Fahri!
Aisha! Nurse!
Aisha.
It's okay.
The baby is a little affected because Aisha was exhausted.
She was possibly also stressed during the early stages of her pregnancy.
Will she be alright, Madam?
Your baby is lucky to have a very strong mother like Aisha.
She just needs a few days of bed rest.
I would like to name him Yusuf.
-What if it's a girl? -If it's a girl...
Have you visited Maria?
I just did.
I'll buy you some food.
Buy some for Maria too, okay?
For the three of us.
Where is Fahri, Aisha?
Can you ask Fahri to come here?
Maria!
Get the nurse, quick!
Forgive me...
Fahri, Aisha.
Maria, you've done nothing wrong. Why should you apologize?
I...
I apologize not for my faults.
Now I realize...
to love...
and to possess...
are two different things.
Forgive me, Fahri.
Aisha, forgive me.
Fahri.
Teach me how to perform Salat.
I would like to pray with the two of you.
Maria?
Maria.
Fahri, it's Maria.
Maria?
Subhanallah.
Maria!
Call the nurse!
Maria.
Oh, Allah...
Do you believe in soulmates, Fahri?
-Yes. Everyone has... -Their own soulmate.
That's what you always say.
I think Egypt and the Nile are soulmates.
If the Nile didn't exist, there would absolutely be no Egypt.
No civilization. Only desert.
With God's Will, you have found your soulmate, Fahri.
