BEYOND THE YEARS

Zahira is a 25-year-old woman who was raised with strong Islamic values by her parents. She receives an offer to further her studies in Egypt, but her parents refuse to let her go because she would have no mahram accompanying her. Zahira is unmarried and has no brothers who can travel with her.

"Ummi, my friends are doing just fine without a mahram. It's not like the old days anymore. Things are much safer now. I can go on my own. I'm already an adult."

- Zahira Irdina

However, Zahira's parents remain firm in their decision. To them, Allah's law is not something to be compromised. A woman must not travel without a mahram.

"Abi and I have discussed it. If you truly want to continue your studies in Egypt, then you must get married first."

- Puan Salmah

With no other choice, Zahira reluctantly agrees. Just a few days later, her father introduces her to a potential husband who is currently studying in Egypt.

"I'm Nasrul Muhaimin. You can call me Muhaimin. I'm currently in my second year in Egypt."

- Nasrul Muhaimin

Zahira is stunned.

It's not that Muhaimin isn't a good man. But guess what?

He's only nineteen!

Six years younger than her.

"Abi isn't joking. If you don't accept this proposal, then there's no Egypt."

- Ustaz Zaki

Muhaimin, on the other hand, doesn't mind the age difference at all. In fact, his heart was captivated the very first moment he laid eyes on Zahira.

Eventually, they are united in marriage.

What awaits them in their new life together?

Is Muhaimin mature enough to shoulder the responsibilities of a husband?

Can Zahira truly accept a man who is younger than her?

Is it true that Zahira wants a divorce once she completes her studies in Egypt?

And who is Solehah, the woman who eventually finds a place in Muhaimin's heart?

Everything begins here.
