These days, I’m really involved in a book called Ayat-Ayat Cinta (Verses of Love) by Habiburrahman El-Shirazy. This is a very best-selling Islamic romantic book in Indonesia. A movie director has moviezed this book and the movie itself enjoys a very good welcome by Indonesian viewers.
Basically, this book tells about a protagonist that is very straightly religious in living his worldly life. We can say as if the protagonist, named Fahri, is a true mirror of Muhammad. All his thoughts, moves, and all reflect those of Muhammad’s.
Well, it is a good way of promoting Islam actually, if only someone would volunteer to translate it into English. 
From this post on (to about several posts), I’ll be talking about this book, its strengths, its weaknesses, its too-romantic points and too-saintal parts and all…
So, please be prepared, okey?
