Bab’Aziz

January 31, 2012

It’s a story with multiple layers of messages about finding oneself (with Allah), our position in ultimate existence, our fitra, purification, detachment with this world, and so forth. And the meanings are only revealed as per the person’s level of understanding of these things. SubhanAllah the story is simultaneously touching, poignant, inspirational, and compels a lot of reflection and introspection. It makes me cry every time… and feeling quite regretful of my own shortcomings. I think it’s def a movie you guys would appreciate – R.P
