Ketika Cinta Bertasbih: The improvement of Islamic values-embedded movie



After Ayat-ayat Cinta had been showed in theatres [especially] in Indonesia and Malaysia last year (2008), it is rumored that another love story movie which embedded Islamic values, Ketika Cinta Bertasbih, will be released in the mid of 2009. the same author as Ayat-ayat Cinta. HABIBURRAHMAN EL SHIRAZY always put Islamic values to each of his novels, such as Ayat-Ayat Cinta [phenomenal novel in 2004] , Diatas Sajadah cinta [collection of stories based on Islamic and Moral values which shown in one of major TV channel in Indoensia, TRANS TV, 2004], Ketika Cinta Berbuah Surga [2005], Dalam Mihrab Cinta [novelette 2007], and Ketika Cinta Betasbih [2005].
About the Author, Habiburrahman El Shirazy [closely called as Kang Abik] is a master student of Al Azhar University Cairo. He is also a founder and the manager of Pesantren Karya and Entrepreneur BASMALA INDONESIA, which is located in Semarang, Central Java. He is also nationally known as a Da’I, Novelist, and Poet. He had been given many Awards, among other things were Pena Award 2005, The Most Favorite Book and Writer 2005, dan IBF Award 2006. he is also even likely to be invited to give some talks in either national or international forums like in Cairo, Kuala Lumpur, Hongkong, etc.
What is different to his popular novel before [Ayat-Ayat Cinta], the character of Abdullah Khairul Azzam as a key player in Ketika Cinta Bertasbih, is not as notable as Fahri in Ayat-ayat Cinta whom is considered almost as a perfect guy. Azzam is bachelor student of Al Azhar University, Cairo. During his study, he is not graduated yet for 9 years. This is not because he is lazy or somewhat, but rather he has to work in which at the same time he has to study. He sells meatballs and chef. The reason he do all ofe these tasks is because Azzam is considered as his family’s backbone after his father had passed away, and he has to take care of his mother and two sisters in Indonesia.
The movie which will be no longer released in 2009, is based on dwi- logy of Ketika Cinta Bertasbih Novels. So are you guys feeling curious now, just wait for the movie in this year!!
