Thus, Nadeem’s expression throughout this novel can teach us that however love, and faith is vital in one’s life. But these two attributes outline someone’s morality.
Raja Gidh
An outstanding and classical novel written by Bano Qudsia. This novel not only describes the long-term effects of “Rizq-e-Haraam” on the lives of people. But also helps in revealing a number of reasons for discontented and ruinous life.
The characters in Raja Gidh are basically us. The author compares the ‘human nature’ with ‘Gidh’ (scavenger). And tries to win over the reader that humans are rather like Gidhs. A Gidh eats the meat of solely animal. Therefore humans, who continually wish to take blessings of weak / disturb and showing emotion dead folks.

The author comprehensively explains the adverse effects of Rizq-e-haraam on the human’s genes building method. It may lead to psychopathy and abnormality. That is then genetically transferred to the next generations.
The second purpose that is powerfully highlighted tho’ out the novel is that the construct of “Ishq–e-Lahasil” (love with no destination). Love for verboten wishes continually leads an individual to earn rizq-e-haraam that successively destroys one’s life. And at the top, the person is left alone with nothing except his displeased life.
This novel powerfully reflects on the negatives points of our society these days. If solely we are able to understand the construct and adverse effects of Rizq-e- haram. And learn to powerfully believe in Allah and also the fate determined by him. We have a tendency to prosper as a decent Muslim and an ideal member of society.
