After the death of Eman, Hammad leaves for London for his further education where he takes admission in such a university where all people are Jews except Hammad. Hammad meets with a girl namely Sara in the same university who is the daughter of the head of university. With the passage of time, they become best friends and Sara falls in love with Hammad however Hammad just loved once that was Eman. Sara and Hammad spend more time with each other and develop a bond over time. Sara accepts Islam also changes her name into Eman. Unfortunately Hammad has to leave London for some problems but he promises to Sara that he would be back his all friends of university very soon. This book ends with Hammad who wins the hearts of all students of his university and all of his class mates becomes very close to him because of his unique personality and honesty. His love for the people and teachers remain an example for everyone which Hashim denies in this book beautifully.

The book mainly talks about love and faith and how these two factors contribute so strongly to a person’s life. Hammad’s way of loving people and preaching Islam shows that he’s a man of good character who keeps best wishes for everyone. His calmness and simplicity wins the hearts of all who’ve been with him and who know him. Thus, Nadeem’s expression throughout this novel will teach us that how actually love and religion are important in one’s life. These two attributes define someone’s morality. And he is such a writer who always presents the things as they are because his only purpose is to teach people about life, ignorance, knowledge and love.
