Perempuan Berkalong Sorban

HELP ME! HELP ME!!! I WANT TO WATCH CHANNEL AL-HIJRAH TOMORROW AT 8.30PM TO SEE THIS MOVIE!!!! HOW HOW HOWWWWWWWW............ :D AL-HIJRAH IS NOT PART OF ASTRO RIGHT?

Islamic themed film, "Perempuan Berkalung Sorban", based on the novel by Abidah el Khalieqy which was first published by the Yayasan Kesejahteraan Fatayat in Yogyakarta in 2001. Starring everyone's favourite girl next door Revalina S. Temat, who plays Anissa, the daughter of the leader of a traditionalist and very conservative Islamic boarding school (pesantren) in East Java. Her father's school, described as "salaf" or "salafiah", teaches that knowledge must be based on the Quran, Hadith and Sunnah, and that modern works that have no such basis are not to be touched. Annissa struggles with this teaching and she believes that Islam, or her father's version of it, does not treat women fairly. Annissa's opinions are ignored by all around as the musings of a little girl, except by the handsome Hanya Khudori (played by Oka Antara), a relation on her mother's side. Annissa falls in love with him but Oka, mindful of the blood link and his relationship to the girl's father, attempts to kill the romance and flees to Egypt to continue his studies. Crestfallen, Annissa tries to go her own way by enrolling at a school in Yogyakarta but her father rages that an unmarried girl cannot go off on her own, and besides, at her new school she may be exposed to unIslamic teachings. Kyai Hanan, played by Joshua Pandelaky, decides to marry his daughter off to the son of another Salaf school, but it is an unhappy marriage and Anissa later learns that her husband, Samsudin (Reza Rahadian), is a polygamist. Finally her first love Khudori returns from Cairo and their previously interrupted love is rekindled....

I reckon this movie will have some 'controversial' ideas in Islam in certain ppl's views... similar to Arwah Yasmin's Ahmad movies... well... who are we to judge other ppl's views... who are we to interpret ppl's Mazhab of Islam... even degree/ PhD holders from universities all around the world in so many Mazhabs also have dispute when they discuss in details... ask any Haji/ Hajjah who came back from Mekah, they can easily describe to you at least 5 different ways of Solat! wrong or not... it's not in our 'scope of work'! :) personally, i even hate when Mufti/ Ulama in Malaysia itself when they really really fight for their own beliefs.... at the verge of becoming uncivilized human being! :P i wish and hope one day, they only embrace the similarity instead of the difference....

again.. pls help me how am i to 'find' tv al-hijrah on my tv channel... hehe...

definitely gonna write a review on this film!
