| Event type: | Friday Programme |
| Time: | 19:30 to 21:45 |
| Description: | Qur’an recitation followed by the showing of a film entitled "Ashik Kerib". A discussion led by Iman Poernomo will follow the film and Salaat will be prayed after this discussion.
Based on a story by Russian author Mikhail Lermontov, Ashik Kerib has the texture of an ancient, oft-told tale. Yuri Mgoyan stars as a wandering troubadour, working the provinces. He spends 1000 days and nights on the road, entertaining whenever and wherever he can. Mgoyan's itinerant lifestyle seemingly has little purpose, but it does. At the end of those 1000 days and nights, he hopes to have accumulated enough money to afford a wedding...if his bride is willing to wait.
