However, Abah feels spiritually dry. He feels too comfortable being praised as a "holy man" while feeling far removed from the reality of the people. Abah then decides to leave the comfort of the Islamic boarding school to seek God in the dark alleys of the capital city. Through this journey, Abah learns that God is not only present on the fragrant prayer mats of the mosque, but also in the shacks of weeping prostitutes, in the laughter of street children sharing packed rice, and in every tear of honesty. This is a story of quiet social piety that touches the heart. Abah strives to help resolve the issues of marginalized communities not through religious arguments, but with clever wit and humor that challenges logic. Written by Yuda Kurniawan See less
