An riveting sci-fi tale set in the distant future that has much inspiration from Islam
To look out for:
Islamic values: Much of the plot, names, and terms of Dune are taken from Islamic eschatology and concepts; the idea of a ‘Mahdi’ (savior) and other concepts are used, but not in a particularly respectful way.
Romance: The main character’s parents are unmarried. He falls in love with a desert girl.
Violence: A character is subjugated to an extreme pain-or-death test. Mentions of torture. Several battles, violent dreams/visions, and murders/killings.
