salam,
you can’t call it “good”, “pure” and use the Prophet’s saws interest in poetry as an analogy. far removed is this movie from the standard of ‘GOOD’ AND ‘PURE’. undressed women, showing not only their hair but chest areas too. you really think the Prophet, peace be upon him would enjoy looking at that? or would he lower his gaze and turn his face away, maybe frowning? article is well written but when i saw what the movie is about, it is not what i expected in terms of what a practicing muslim would consider “good” pure. surprised that that religious moderators would allow this to be posted on a spiritual site

I personally think , we should use more media to represent islam and educate people (not only to entertain). Especially the youth needs halal entertainment so they don’t need to seek fun in haram entertainment which surrounds us.

May Allah swt accept our efforts and guide us to His straight path.

Im glad finally as Muslims we can start to realise that all media isn’t bad.

The arts ‘traditionally’ are frowned upon as it’s seen as spreading fitna..but do we realise YouTube videos websites like this Twitter etc has been a benefit? If so as Muslims we need to embrace media and use it as a tool for good..I’m tired of being told media students/professionals are a waste of space. This article highlights how much of an impact media has on us from sitcoms to cartoons yet we choose to ignore it as a platform for good.
If we can’t as Muslims represent ourselves then we can expect to be misrepresented..the filmmaker and others are trying to make a change by engaging people with what influences;I for one are an advocate for this..may Allah accept our efforts. jazakallah to the author and for sharing.

Jazakallah Sr. Lena!
I pray that Allah (swt) make your film be successful if He (swt) sees it as good! Ameen!
I myself would have gone into the filmmaking industry if I could have gotten permission from my parents; but at least there are people like you who are here to provide clean, Halal, and at the same time qualitative entertainment and art forms for the masses!
