While the story is set in Cairo, Egypt, the film was shot in India and Semarang, Indonesia.

Fahri bin Abdillah Shiddiq is a poor, intelligent student who wins a scholarship to complete a graduate degree at Egypt's esteemed Al Azhar University. Highly disciplined and dedicated by nature, Fahri embraces life in Cairo, finishing his studies and translation of religious books with full enthusiasm. Only one goal is left unattempted: the pursuit of marriage. Innocent and pure, Fahri does not believe in the concept of relationships prior to marriage. He is inarticulate and shy around women. All his life, only two women have been close to him: his mother and grandmother. This changes drastically for him in Egypt, where he suddenly finds himself surrounded by four beautiful, distinctly different women.
Nurul, a student at Al Azhar like Fahri, is the Muslim daughter of a renowned Indonesian cleric. Fahri feels unworthy of her and thus ignores his feelings for her, leaving her confused and guessing.
Maria Girgis is a shy, open-minded Coptic neighbour who is attracted to the teachings of the Qur'an, and finds herself falling in love with Fahri (a fact she only reveals to her diary).
Noura is another of Fahri's Egyptian neighbours, and is often abused. She develops strong romantic feelings for Fahri, who only sympathises with her situation. His rejection of her affections destroys her and eventually leads to a false accusation of rape.
Aisha is a German-Turkish student in Cairo who bewitches Fahri with her beautiful eyes. After Fahri defends her against narrow-minded Muslim bigots on the train, both immediately develop feelings for each other.
Ayat-Ayat Cinta was initially set to be released in cinemas on December 19, 2007. However, the release date was constantly changed due to several problems, but it ultimately premiered on February 28, 2008.
The film's title track Ayat-Ayat Cinta was selected as the lead single of the album soundtrack to promote the film. A music video was also made for the single.
