Pir-e-Kamil (SAW)
Umera Ahmed
Urdu
2005
Feroz Suns (Pvt) Ltd. Lahore
Pages : 525

Pir-e-Kamil (SAW) meaning The Perfect Mentor, is one of the fiction novel written by well known and famous Pakistani writer Umera Ahmed. The book was firstly published in 2005 in Urdu language and later on in 2011 the book was published in English language too. I have decided to write review on this book because I found the book an extraordinary attempt by the writer Umera Ahmed. I have selected this book for review because the facts shown in the book were heart & soul shaking. Many among us don’t think about these facts and coming life but only consider it as to have the luxuries and to relax after working hard for gathering as much luxuries as they can. The only right path starts from ALLAH and ends at his beloved last Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) but unfortunately not as many of us thinks about it.

Umera Ahmed was born on December 10, 1976 in Sialkot. Umera Ahmed completed her masters in English literature from Murray College,Sialkot. She began her writing career in 1998 with her initial stories published in monthly Urdu digests. She has written 16 books, ranging from complete novels to compilations of short stories. Her most popular book is the current book of which I am presenting the review Pir-e-Kamil (SAW). This book became identity for Umera Ahmed. Later she became an English language lecturer for the students of O and A levels at Army Public College, Sialkot. However, she left the job a few years back in order to devote her full attention to writing. Her novels and her plays have

    Mahtab's Story Slide 2 Summary

    Slide 1 – ‘Mahtab’s Story’ is an eventful novel, full of powerful and demanding moments. Throughout this novel Mahtab learns new responsibilities and takes control and learns how to grow up in her dark and complicated story. Slide 2 – ‘Mahtabs Story’ told in third person, has the author Libby Gleeson telling the story from an outside perspective by letting the audience know from ‘Mahtab ached.’ The novel is through Mahtabs eyes even though the story isn’t true; this presents Mahtab as a fictional character. Having a limited perspective of the story helps us identify Mahtab as a more naïve teenage girl and gives a more in-depth description of her and lets the audience see things from her perspective.…

    Interaction of the Branches

    The bases for the three branches of government in the U.S. is that the branches, legislative, judicial, and executive, would interact in a way that if one branch were to step outside the boundary set by the constitution the other branches would step in and pronounce the act unconstitutional (Patterson, 2008). So the intended interaction between the three branches is clearly understood, the system of checks and balances must be understood.…

    Religion In The Kite Runner

    The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini is a powerful novel about two friends whose only similarity is the wet nurse they were fed from when they were little. Because the novel is not informative in purpose and as American, we know little about the history and politics of Afghanistan, its culture, Islam, the persecution of the Hazara, and the Taliban, it is vital in order to understand the novel on the deepest of levels to have background information relating to the topics previously mentioned. Without any background knowledge of Afghanistan it is still easy to understand the novel, in order to more fully appreciate the work of art that the Kite Runner is, certain information must be presented at the time of the analysis of the novel.…

    Essay On Gun Control And Gun Violence

    “The Federal Bureau Investigation Uniform Crime Report involving firearms showed to be at sixty-seven point seven percent of the nation’s murders, forty-one point three percent of robberies, and twenty-one point two percent of aggravated assaults…From January 2012 to June 2012 there was an increase of one point nine percent violent crimes reported.” (FBI) There should be a balance between Gun Control and Gun Violence.

Balance is needed in a world filled with the good and bad. With the rise of mass murders, homicides and aggravated assaults involving firearms, a desperate time for gun control is needed for order in this country. Gun Control needs a higher standard for law abiding citizens.…

    Literary Devices and Identity

    Writing is an exquisite art form. Through the use of subtle metaphors, complex dynamic characters, and flowing imagery; an author is able to communicate their ideas with unique individuality. Each writer’s style is particular to their personal identity. Lila Abu-Lughod is an anthropology professor at New York University. Her piece titled Thinking about Identity, shares her theory on what five factors comprise an individuals identity. She believes they are ethnicity, nationalism, mode of living, gender/family, and religion. An authors writing style is based on their identity, therefore it's based on those five factors. Authors Amy Tan and Mary Gruenewald exemplify this. They both have entirely different identities which are often conveyed by their writing in pieces Fish Cheeks and Evacuation Orders. Abu Lughod's identity theory is inadvertently evidenced by the work of Tan and Gruenewald, especially through their use of literary devices.…
