Ayat-Ayat Cinta adalah sebuah film Indonesia karya Hanung Bramantyo yang dibintangi oleh Fedi Nuril, Rianti Cartwright, Carissa Putri, Zaskia Adya Mecca, dan Melanie Putria. Film ini merupakan film religi hasil adaptasi dari sebuah novel best seller karya Habiburrahman El Shirazy berjudul Ayat Ayat Cinta, dan tayang perdana pada 28 Februari 2008. Walaupun kisah dalam film dan novel Ayat-Ayat Cinta berlatarkan kehidupan di Kairo, Mesir, tetapi proses pengambilan gambar tidak dilakukan di kota itu.[1]
Sebuah kisah cinta dengan latar belakang agama, terutama Islam, dalam kehidupan. Fahri bin Abdullah Shiddiq (Fedi Nuril) adalah pelajar Indonesia yang berusaha menggapai gelar masternya di Al-Azhar. Ia harus berkutat dengan berbagai macam impiannya dan kesederhanaan hidup di Mesir. Ia bertahan dengan menjadi penerjemah buku-buku agama. Semua impian dijalani Fahri dengan penuh antusias kecuali satu: menikah.
Fahri adalah laki-laki taat yang begitu lurus. Dia tidak mengenal pacaran sebelum menikah. Dia kurang artikulatif saat berhadapan dengan perempuan. Hanya ada sedikit perempuan yang dekat dengannya selama ini, neneknya, Ibunya dan saudara perempuannya.
Pindah ke Mesir membuat hal itu berubah. Tersebutlah Maria Kirgiz (Carissa Putri). Tetangga satu flat yang beragama Kristen Koptik tetapi mengagumi Al-Qur'an, dan mengagumi Fahri. Kekaguman yang berubah menjadi cinta. Sayang, cinta Maria hanya tercurah dalam diari saja.
Lalu ada Nurul (Melanie Putria), anak seorang Kyai terkenal yang juga mengeruk ilmu di Al-Azhar. Sebenarnya Fahri menaruh hati pada gadis manis ini. Sayang rasa mindernya yang hanya anak keturunan petani membuatnya tidak pernah menunjukkan rasa apa pun pada Nurul. Sementara Nurul pun menjadi ragu dan selalu menebak-nebak.
Setelah itu ada Noura Bahadur (Zaskia Adya Mecca), juga tetangga yang selalu disiksa Ayahnya sendiri. Fahri berempati penuh dengan Noura dan ingin menolongnya. Sayang hanya empati saja. Tidak lebih. Namun Noura yang mengharap lebih. Dan nantinya ini menjadi masalah besar ketika Noura menuduh Fahri memperkosanya.
Terakhir muncul lah Aisha (Rianti Cartwright), si mata indah yang menyihir Fahri. Sejak sebuah kejadian di metro, saat Fahri membela Islam dari tuduhan kolot dan kaku, Aisha jatuh cinta pada Fahri dan Fahri juga tidak bisa membohongi hatinya.
Mahasiswa yang sedang menyelesaikan studi S2-nya di Universitas tertua di dunia, Al-Azhar. Seorang pemuda bersahaja yang memegang teguh prinsip hidup dan kehormatannya. Cerdas dan simpatik hingga membuat beberapa gadis jatuh hati. Dihadapkan pada kejutan-kejutan menarik atas pilihan hatinya.
Film Ayat-ayat Cinta (AAC) meraih penghargaan dari Museum Rekor Indonesia (MURI) karena jumlah penontonnya terbanyak yakni 3,6 juta orang lebih. Produser film AAC, Manoj Punjabi mengatakan diperkirakan sekitar lima juta kopi DVD bajakan film ini beredar di pasaran. Sebanyak 1,2 juta di antaranya telah dihancurkan. Ia mengatakan selain di putar di gedung bioskop di Indonesia, film AAC juga diputar di Singapura dan Malaysia. "Bahkan akan diputar di Hongkong, India dan Brunei Darrussalam," katanya.[2]

"The word 'Indonesia' was first manufactured in 1850 in the form 'Indu-nesians' by the English traveller and social observer George Samuel Windsor Earl. He was searching for an ethnographic term to describe 'that branch of the Polynesian race inhabiting the Indian Archipelago', or 'the brown races of the Indian Archipelago''."
The beaches and dive sites of Bali and Sulawesi and the national parks of Sumatra and Kalimantan are just a handful of Indonesia's extraordinary natural attractions, which are complemented by a rich cultural heritage.
Scuba diving in Indonesia is excellent and inexpensive. Bunaken National Marine Park in northern Sulawesi is home to over 70% of all the known fish species of the Indo-Pacific, and the marine life in the Raja Ampat area is the most diverse on earth. Popular dive sites on Bali include Tulamben Bay, Candidasa and Menjangan, and among the more remote but spectacular sites are Biak off the coast of Papua and the Alor archipelago. Surfing is also popular, notably on the Indian Ocean coast of southern Java, and Bali and West Java's Pelabuhan Ratu and Pangandaran beaches.
There are 50 national parks in Indonesia, including Sumatra's Gunung Leuser, Kerinci Seblat and Bukit Barisan Selatan, Papua's Lorentz National Park, Komodo National Park in Nusa Tenggara and Ujung Kulon in western Java. Orang-utan can be seen in Sumatra's Bukit Lawang conservation area and Tanjung Puting in central Kalimantan.
Mountain hiking and camping is possible around spectacular active volcanoes like Mount Merapi near Yogyakarta, Gede Pangrango in western Java and the legendary Krakatau and its young caldera anak krakatau (child of Krakatau), which rose above the sea in 1927. The lake and countryside around the dormant volcano at Danau Toba is one of the most scenic spots in Southeast Asia, a near-alpine setting with a cool climate, pine-clothed slopes and a sprinkling of church spires.
In Bali, Hindu festivals and Balinese dance-drama performances in temples are major attractions, and a diverse array of indigenous traditional cultures is evident throughout the country, from the animist funeral rituals of the Toraja in south Sulawesi to the matrilineal culture of the Minangkabau in the Sumatran highlands, while the rise and fall of Buddhist, Hindu, and Islamic kingdoms in Central Java has transformed Yogyakarta into a melting pot of Indonesian culture.
The colonial architectural heritage of the Dutch East Indies includes museums, forts and historical hotels as well as the neo-gothic Jakarta Cathedral in Merdeka Square. Colonial districts are found in Semarang, Surabaya, Malang, Medan and Sawahlunto as well as Jakarta.
Indonesia is a hugely diverse nation, home to over 300 ethnic groups, and each province has its own language, ethnic make-up, religions and history. Most people will define themselves locally before nationally, but in common with other Malay cultures, Indonesian society is conservative and largely conformist, where the concepts of group harmony and mutual security are deemed more important than the individual. The extended family (including close acquaintances) is the centre of the social structure and emphasises unity, loyalty and respect for elders. Hierarchical relationships are respected, emphasised and maintained.
People tend to rely on facial expression, tone of voice and posture to tell them what someone feels, and they can be subtle, indirect and implicit in their communications. Silence is an important element of communication: pausing before responding to a question suggests a considered response, and a hasty answer is seen to indicate thoughtlessness or rude behaviour. Be sensitive to the concept of 'face' or shame, and avoid critical or negative comments. Bahasa Indonesia has a dozen ways of saying 'No' and several discreet ways of saying 'Yes' without full affirmation.
"If you are a single woman travelling through Bali and somebody asks you, 'Are you married?' the best possible answer is: 'Not yet.' This is a polite way of saying 'No' while indicating your optimistic intentions to get that taken care of just as soon as you can. Even if you are eighty years old, or a lesbian, or a strident feminist, or a nun."
