Description
Aab-e-Hayat (The Water of Life) – A Journey Beyond Transformation
First published as the long-awaited sequel to Peer-e-Kamil, Aab-e-Hayat by Umera Ahmed is a spiritually profound and intellectually stirring novel that continues the journey of Salar Sikander and Imama Hashim—not as seekers, but as individuals now entrusted with living and sustaining the truth they once struggled to find.
More than a continuation, Aab-e-Hayat is a layered exploration of what it means to live a life of purpose, integrity, and faith in a world overflowing with distractions. It is a reflection on family, legacy, responsibility, and the silent battles fought in the name of righteousness and belief.
In these deeply intimate chapters, Umera Ahmed examines the complexities of sustaining faith in the real world—amid career choices, parenting, wealth, ego, and societal pressures. The novel doesn’t just trace a couple’s journey; it reflects the quiet conflicts of anyone who has ever tried to live with intention in a chaotic world.
Through Imama’s calm resilience and Salar’s internal evolution, Aab-e-Hayat opens up questions about what kind of life is truly worth living. Is material success enough? What does it mean to leave behind a meaningful legacy? And how do we raise the next generation with wisdom and faith?
A Chronicle of Purposeful Living
In this thought-provoking work, Umera Ahmed redefines the idea of “success.” Aab-e-Hayat is not just about what happens after love it’s about what happens after transformation, when ideals are tested in the messy, practical dimensions of everyday life. It’s a reminder that true faith is not a destination, but a lifelong journey that demands strength, sacrifice, and self-awareness.
With philosophical richness and narrative elegance, the novel urges readers to examine their values, confront their contradictions, and ask hard questions about the lives they’re building for themselves, their children, and their communities.
