Noor is a two-act play by Akbar Ahmed about the abduction of a young woman named Noor and her three brothers who represent currents inside modern Muslim communities: a Sufi, a secular government bureaucrat, and an angry fundamentalist.

Soldiers of unknown background have abducted their younger sister Noor.

At the same time, Ali recommends he use his connections in a government ministry, and Daoud implies an act of violence would be the best response.

In search of Noor, Abduallah consults a Sufi sheikh and Ali speaks with a government minister.

To bring back Noor, Abduallah prays, while Daoud blames "the Crusaders" and urges violence; they disagree about the true nature of Islam.
