  Let me tell you about the title of the novel, Namal, before I review and summarize it. ‘Namal’ is derived from the   Surah of Quran ( Surah Namal )   which means   ants.  Ants are considered one of Allah’s most weak creations. “ Namal”  focuses on people who are seen as the weakest members of society, just like the weakest members of ant society.
