For travelling he became a shepherd, met a wise king, and travelled the whole of Africa in search of an extravagant treasure. In order to fulfil his destiny, he discovers the wonders of the world and learns the language of the soul.

The book depicts a thought; an idea of ‘Maktub’ an Arabic word meaning, ‘It’s written’ and shows that for a dream, valour and desire are the two most salient factors.

It enlightens that desert is not a barren land but the most beautiful place if aptly observed. Whether it be a boy or a man, all can learn things in their own manner; They just need to follow the ‘omens’ set by the almighty for them.
