Qodrat explores the ways in which losing faith connects with post-traumatic stress and personal anxiety. Taking place in a village where things go unexplained, like harmful outsiders and possessed people, the account follows Ustadz Qodrat, a skilled practitioner of ruqyah, who cannot save his son, Alif, from Assuala’s torment. Going back to his boarding school for answers, Qodrat finds it Renewed, just as unsettled as he now feels inside.
The film mixes horror with emotional experiences, making it clear how Qodrat’s spiritual life is shaken throughout. Through Assuala, the narrator is reminded of the devastation he faces and of the pain he feels because of his son. Various situations in the text show how hard it is for some to overcome darkness and stress the need for forgiveness and faith in God during these moments.
Everyone acts magnificently, especially Qodrat as he shows his battles from within with simplicity and honesty. Film experts make use of strong visuals and an emotional soundtrack to entangle the moods and actions on the screen. The peak in the story teaches readers that holding onto anger and losing faith is not good and that hope continues to linger long after reading. The book ultimately shows how *Qodrat* articulates the journey of resilience, inner strength and ability to heal trauma in people.
