Mata e Jaan Hai Tu / متاعِ جاں ہے تُو Reviews

This was recommended to me by my friend Saman.
آپ کسی سے اتنی محبت کریں کہ آپ خود، خود نہ رہیں، وہ بن جاۂیں۔
This was my second book from her with Bin Roye being the first one. I loved Bin Roye but I wasn’t sure about this one especially when the initial chapters seemed quite boring, but I am glad I was wrong. This is the love story of Hania and Aabi. Though it was like insta love at some occasions, it became so much more than that, so much deeper. I loved the premise and the execution was very well done. I did, however have trouble with the repetition of many things. I feel like this book could’ve been written in a lot less pages and that is the main reason for me taking so much time reading it. It kept being too much to handle at times so I put it down to pick it up later. This is the main reason it is not a 5 star. I am dying to give it full stars but it irritated me so much and the too-cheesy dialogues at times too. There, I said it.
But looking back, the book had so much of an effect on me. I cried constantly as I read the last 40 or so pages and it took me 3 hours just to read them because I had to close the book after every second line and calm myself and take a breath before reading more. I don’t think I would’ve felt as I did if I wasn’t so attached to the characters and knew so much about them thanks to the extra detail. So maybe it was a good thing after all.
I constantly listened to Ariana Grande-Breathin’ while reading those last pages.
We start with Hania getting a job in Pakistan and we go back and forth in time as the story moves forward and we learn about her past and her reason to be there.
I knew the big twist already because I read a review full of spoilers which took away my urgency to read more. I knew it was coming but it only made me feel it more.
I’d like to say that I was not a big fan of how the American atmosphere was portrayed. Though much of it was true, it felt too much at times and I guess we can all agree that most of the world is like that now. We are all too busy in our lives and I doubt that people who live there don’t have feelings. I also hated so many clichés and perfect people. It’s okay to have a few flaws.
Lol, I had forgotten I had so many problems with it. But the end (way way after the big twist) is what made me forget all those issues. It was magnificently written.
I would recommend it but be warned it’s a long story and so many lines are repeated.
For me, it was worth it. (I didn’t think it would be.) -

3.6⭐️
Bhot sare scene repeat ho rahe the jo boring lag Rahe the Maine skim kiye...overall nice predictable story ...kafi saalun Purani book Hai issiliye I think story utni exciting nai lagi ...but I like writing style (mai thora sa roye bhi 👉👈) and there was no extra character or drama...straight forward story thi
Satisfying ending
Spoiler alert:
Jis tarha ki ibad ki personality thi, jaisi uski harkatein thi wo pehle hi Pata chl raha tha yeh tikne wala nai hai ....bollywood mai starting mai jo character Marne wala hota usko asa hi dikhaya jata hai 😂 -
If there's one Romance Novel, I adore, then it is Mata-e-Jaan Hai Tu. It has a fantastic story, characters and ending. It keeps you in awe all the time and you can read it in one sitting.
I loved Hania Sajjad and Ibad Uzair throughout the book. They are the purest characters you can find in a romantic novel.
A MUST READ. -
Mata E Jaan Hai Tu.. What an amazing and true love story. I can't believe that someone can love that deeply. I couldn't stop crying while reading this. Just in love with character of Ebaad Uzair. he is simply amazing. End is quite nice and satisfying but the worst part is death of Ebaad. I wish he was alive till the end :( but amazing story and characters were mind blowing. Well done Farhat Ishtiaq. I have no words to express my feeling about the love between haniya and ebaad. its just simply amazing.

Okay I cried a little. Second half was beautiful.
Excessive use of english kinda tried to ruin the vibe.
I skimmed the date nights because It was nothing. Like everything was perfect I am not interested in reading all-good for 40 pages. -
یہ میرے خیال سے 2013 یا 14 میں پڑھا تھا ،اردو کا میرا پہلا ناول تھا اور اس وقت عابی کی موت پہ دو چار آنسو ہم نے بھی بہائے تھے 😅

Well i am tongue-tied about the work of ma'am farhat ishtiaq.
I started the novel 2 months back but i lack steadiness for which i remorse and would recommend new readers to complete it as soon as possible.
I am chaotic on from where i start to portray such majestic work of farhat ishtiaq ma'am.
If you are desirous to visualize a flawless work of depicting a love story you are on the right route so move forrader,grab the book and dont halt.
I didn't discerned any of the character a bad choice to read in this novel.
Ibad uzair rocks the story with untainted fondness for all the other characters here.
Haniya sajad and other people were altruistic on duty towards one another and conveys a great lesson to our society having emotion of hate for each other or have no concern for what other endure in his/her life.
Believe in Almighty ALLAH is the thing we listen the most in islamic gatherings as he is best deviser of all time and it's all about the faith one should have in him that what makes haniya sajad rekindle his life and live for ibad's parents.
Hats off to farhat ishtiaq endeavours and surely i'm looking forward to read more novels written by ma'am. -
Not of my type

Mata e jaan hai tu is beautifully written by Farhat Ishtiaq and this is the work that I really found different from her other works, like the part of america and university site are defined very well,we can imagine each and every scene after reading that. This is the story full of emotions, relations with friends and family and there is no villain in the story thats something special thing in it.
Haniya Sajjad and Ibaad Uzair, both are written very well, Ibaad and Adeel's friendship scenes gives us memorable moments to think, I loved the part when Haniya met Ibaad's parents and all the beautiful scenes with them, those scenes were most interesting and emotional for me, I enjoyed that part more then Ibaad-Haniya's part. This isn't a too much long novel so you can go through it, you'll not be bored.
Must Read !! -
4.5 🌟
I have read the last 100 pages crying 😭 How does Farhat Ishtiaq always manages to rip up my heart and hit the nail on all right places 💓
Farhat Hashmi has easily entered my favourite authors list, from جو بچے ہیں سنگ سمیٹ لو to ہمسفر and now متاع جاں ہے تو farhat Ishtaiq has perfected the formula of gripping my heart, making it ache, letting me devour the pain, the love, the tension and the drama. All her novels ( or atleast these three) start with me feeling a bit iffy over the cheesiness but then they flip me over and make me desperately root for the characters.
Now coming to متاع جاں ہے تو it started okay and I wasn’t sure where the story was going (but we place our trust in Farhat ma’am) and then عابی was introduced and you get the gist of what will happen but then the way it all unraveled your heart beats to different rhythms. First the relationship between ہنی and عابی was so sweet and nice that you eat it up and then the present timeline of the parents, the building anticipation and tension, the grief and sorrow that undertones their story makes you ache for them and finally the wrap up - it gutted my heart and stitched it back up. All in all it was a beautifully told story and I absolutely loved it. -
اختتام انتہائی ڈ پر سنگ ہے ۔ مجھے انتظار ہی رہا کہ شائد ایسا پلاٹ ٹوسٹ ہو کہ وہ ٹریجڈی ایک غلط فہمی نکلے مگر نہیں ... مجھے یہ ناول کچھ پھیکا اور بورنگ سا بھی لگا کیونکہ آغاز میں ہی ہمیں سول انجنئیرنگ کے بارے میں انتہائی خشک معلومات دی جاتی ہیں اور پھر امریکہ کے حدود اربعہ اور وہاں کے رہن سہن کا تجزیه ـ سارے مرکزی کردار بڑے ہی پرفیکٹ دکھائے جاتے ہیں یعنی انکے پاس گڈ لکس ـ دولت عزت ـ ذہانت ۔ سب کچھ ہوتا ہے ۔ کہانی بھی کچھ ایسی خاص نہیں ہے۔ کوئی اچانک انہونی بات نہیں ہوتی نہ کوئی دشمنیاں ، نہ غلط فہمیاں نہ نفرتیں نہ سازشیں اور نہ ہی دلچسپ اتفاقات جو اکثر ناولوں کو حقیقی زندگی سے مختلف بناتے ہیں ـ

محبت اسے کہتے ہیں جس کے بچھڑنے پر
جی جائیں تو کمال ہو، مر جائیں تو مثال ہو -
Absolutely amazing.
-
I enjoyed reading it.
-
A very nice romantic novel. But i am also mad at Farhat Ishtiaq for sad story in between.
-
Haniya and Ibad.

Mata e Jaan (commodity of heart), I'm still in pain because of Aabad. I'll say nothing but
"Aap kisi se itni mohabbat karein, ke aap khud khud na rahein, woh ban jaye." -
محبت کے لیے کا محبت کے لیے ظاہری آنکھ سے نظر آنا ، چھونا، پانا ضروری نہیں۔ محبت سچی ہو تو دل کی نگاہ سے دیکھا جاسکتا ہے، محسوس کیا جاسکتا ہے۔ ✨
I picked up this book as I heard it's sad and heartbreaking you would cry and all and i don't disagree with that (Although I didn't cry)
But I am glad I read it. It's one of my favourite novels,sad yet comforting,not much drama.And the character of Aabi my love for this character grew more with each passing chapter, He was an angel. Haniya and Ibad their love for each other was the purest i read till date.
(It was about Love, Respect & Family) -
I loved the novel but it made me cry buckets😂 just ended it yesterday and I’m still not over it neither I’m out of the trauma Ibad’s death gave me. Switched to Farhat Ishtiaq’s novel after reading Umera Ahmed’s amar bail as the hero dies in that too and I believed that Farhat Ishtiaq’s novel don’t leave the person upset but oh well. Maybe I’m way too over sensitive or these writers actually need to stop giving us depression😂
