ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

This script for the novel EL-HABEEB, written by Oum Hanan, is a contemporary Hausa narrative that blends themes of mystery, high-stakes business, and romantic destiny. The story centers on Habeeb Ibraheem Ahmad Gashua, a wealthy and successful General Manager who leads a life of immense luxury but is plagued by a recurring, enigmatic dream. For five years, he has dreamt of a beautiful, veiled girl whose face remains hidden, leaving him with a sense of longing and psychological unrest that even his affluent lifestyle and close relationship with his mother (Ummi) cannot soothe.

The narrative utilizes a flashback technique to provide context for Habeeb’s background, detailing the life of his father, Ibraheem Gashua. It explores a cross-cultural love story between Ibraheem and an Arab woman, Afeefah, whom he met in Dubai. The script highlights the familial tension caused by Ibraheem’s decision to marry abroad against his father’s initial wishes, eventually leading to the birth of Habeeb a child who inherits his mother’s Arab features and his father’s business acumen. This backstory sets the stage for a saga of identity and heritage.
