The story began when a man name Fahri bin Abdillah went to Egypt to take a master's degree majoring Islam at the University of Al-azhar, Cairo. He is not rich but he is smart. He got a scholarship from his former school; his parents even had to sell their rice field. Fahri is a perseverant and disciplined man. He even has a life map for himself. He planned to get married when his paper would be accepted by the faculty. But the problem is, he never had any relationship with a woman. He only was close to two women in his life, which were his mom and his grandmother.
First there was Maria Girgis, the neighbor who admired Fahri although she was a Coptic-Christian. Maria was an open-minded girl who was really attracted by the Al Quran, the 'holy bible' of the Islam. Her admiration changed into love. But she kept it a secret to herself and her diary. After Maria appeared Nurul in Fahri's life. She was an Indonesian student like Fahri. They loved each other but none of them knew it or had the courage to reveal. Fahri considered himself inferior to be Nurul’s husband because Nurul was a daughter of a famous Muslim cleric in Indonesia. He thought he doesn’t deserve her.
