Pendar Mentari – Paperback

In the quiet Indonesian village of Seloka, the Azzami family strives to live by the Qur’an and Sunnah upon the manhaj of the Salaf al-li, while surrounded by a community shaped largely by Ashari traditions and generations of inherited customs.

For Reyya Azzami, remaining steadfast has always seemed simple-until faith, friendship, family, and the heart become tangled together.

Then Andrew Thompson returns: the Canadian boy she once teasingly called Basketball Face, now grown, Muslim, frustratingly rigid, impossible to argue with-and even harder to ignore.

But when a marriage proposal, her closest friend’s hidden feelings, and her father’s mysterious mention of a man whose name begins only with “A” collide, Reyya becomes convinced she understands what Allah has placed before her.

She is wrong.

Warm, witty, and filled with unexpected turns, Pendar Mentari is a story of tawd, qadar, sisterhood, family, and steadfastness-and of discovering that what Allah has written may arrive in a way the heart never imagined.
