Ayat-Ayat Cinta 2 (English: Verses of Love 2) is the 2017 Indonesian religious drama film that was released on December 21, 2017 and directed by Guntur Soehardjanto, who previously won nine awards at the 2005 Indonesian Film Festival through his work Juli di Bulan Juni. It is a sequel from Ayat-Ayat Cinta (2008).[4][5] The plot follows Fahri, who has become a professor in Edinburgh, Scotland. He lives well without Aisha, his wife who is missing for months when she served as a volunteer in the Gaza Strip. While waiting for news of his wife, he faces many problems from romance to distress for being a Muslim in Europe where Islamophobia is surging throughout the place.[6]

The film received mixed and positive reviews from film critics and has been reached over 1 million tickets sold in five days upon release,[7] and reached over 2.5 million in third weekend upon release. The film is crawling up to the fourth position of Indonesian best-selling films of 2017.[8]
