A Thousand Splendid Sun

I read a good novel, the title is A Thousand Splendid Sun by Khaled Hosseini. That novel tells about woman fight in the conflict area (war). Afganistan is moslem country. The citizen had experience too much suffering. Starting from the invasion of Uni Soviet, Civil war (under power of Taliban) and the last invasion of United of American (USA).

Under power of Taliban, whole of women are prohibitive to exit from their house except the companion with mahram. To get education, health is big illusion for them at the time. If the women want to be born and sacrifice for war, they are not finding suitable service because medicine, doctor, nurse, facilities are very limited.

Most of family in Afgan must deliver their son to be soldier or part of their lovely family to be sacrificed of war. The women and children from the conflict area are very misery. They are always afraid and worried of a bomb explosion. Most of families think about evacuation to neighbor country. They hope to get better life in Afgan. But not all family could get exit from Afgan. To move to neighbor country is not easy.

That novel tells about women. Maybe the author has a mission for women emancipation. But I’m sure in islam, women have the same right with men. The rule women and men have known from Al-quran and As-sunnah. But I hope there’s no war in the world. I want to tell you how much Allah grace to us. We must say many thanks to Allah.
