The main idea of Banu Qudsia's famous novel Raja Gidh

 Lahore Thus Banu Qudsia wrote more than two dozen books on various genres, however, the fame and popularity gained by 'Raja Gidh ' could not be achieved by any of her other novels. On the contrary, it would not be out of place to say that this is the most popular Urdu novel of the last half century. According to one count, at least one and a half dozen editions of this novel have been published so far.


 In this novel, which came out in 1981, he tells the story of middle class people who try to find a purpose in life and a way to live it. Life can be lived on, and that is Bano's famous metaphysical theory of halal and haram.



Banu Qudsia herself stated in a television interview that the reason for the creation of this novel was that while discussing with an American student, she could not find the answer to the question of how Islam differs from other religions. According to him, one day a voice came from a song tree in the house, the wood of which makes a fiddle, which made him understand the point. The point is that good and evil are actions which are not limited to one life only. In fact, they are genetically transmitted from one generation to another. If one eats haraam then this act affects his psyche and changes his personality. Many people may disagree with the metaphysical aspects of this novel, but there is no doubt that it A few can be placed in the list of top novels. 

Banu Qudsia's novels, myths and dramas have two distinct streams of thought. One is feminism and the other is Sufism. She was very impressed with Ashfaq Ahmed and his close associates Qudratullah Shehab and Mumtaz Mufti and he also wrote a book on Shehab called 'The Man of Silk'. Apparently Sufism and femininity are two different things. Played together? In response to this question, Hameed Shahid said: 'His femininity is not such as to provoke a rebellion against masculine society, his woman does not go far away from man. I think that the idea of ​​a woman dying in some places is similar to their Sufism.
