Lebai Sampan
January 1, 2022
Overview
It tells the extraordinary story of a Lebai (Islamic scholar) trapped between fulfilling the last pillar of Islam and caring for his 75-year-old blind sister. The story of Ngah Omar (Lebai Sampan) who grapples with the reality of life between two boundaries of "desire" and "destiny". These two boundaries are connected by genuine acts of love with his blind sister Zaleha, Hatta who is treated like a son, and Dian who seeks shelter under his paternal nature. Everything is done by Lebai Omar with one intention—the spiritual preparation to perform the pilgrimage to Mecca. Something he has always dreamed of despite his lack of means.
