As mentioned at the beginning, AYAT-AYAT CINTA tells the story of Fahri, an Indonesian student studying at Al-Azhar University in Cairo. Fahri comes from a modest family and dedicates his life to education and religion. However, Fahri's life begins to change when he meets several women who come into his life.

One of them is Maria, a Coptic Christian woman who admires the teachings of Islam and has even memorized Surah Maryam from the Qur'an. Despite coming from different religions, Fahri and Maria often interact and respect each other's beliefs.

However, Fahri's relationship with Maria is tested by the presence of Nurul, the daughter of a cleric who is also studying in Cairo. Nurul falls in love with Fahri, but this love becomes a source of conflict between them.

As Fahri's life becomes more complicated with the arrival of these women, there is also Aisha, who captures Fahri's attention. Aisha is a veiled woman who has a very firm perspective on religion.
