New Ummah Films Video - "You won't hear that at Jummah"

Bismillah ar-Rahmaan ar-Raheem,

YouTube has moved over to widescreen and now accepts HD so I decided to make the new Ummah Films video in HD. The video was filmed pretty late (which explains why I look so tired) but the message was important so I wanted to make sure it gets out. Being that today is Jummah, I figured I release the video today.

The audio from the Half Our Deen intro was put together by Takbir Productions (www.takbirproductions.com) and the video was put together by Iman Studios (www.imanstudios.com).

I'm not much of a Nasheed fan but when I came across the song "How can they deny?" from Takbir Productions, I was amazed. The song is not only unique but more importantly the lyrics have weight to it so I had to buy one of their CD. I wanted a unique sound for the Half Our Deen intro so asked the bros to put something together. Let me know what you think

Please help me spread this video by posting it on websites, blogs, facebook, myspace, etc...I really hope that it reaches the minds and hearts of those who have mic during Jummah InshAllah.

JazakAllah Khair

Marriage Interviews - Season 3 Ummah Films Video

Bismillah ar-Rahmaan ar-Raheem,

InshAllah my next project will be www.halfourdeen. My goal is to put a unique spin on the way Muslim Matchmaking has been done in the past and to develop a site like no other Muslim Matchmaking site. Just like my past projects, I have no plans to make just another parody of what is out there for Muslims but rather to take the current awkward process to the next level InshAllah. I've pitched my ideas to teams of programmers and some have said its too difficult while others have given me crazy quotes ($25,000).

Honestly, it would be pointless to come out with something similar to what is out there but it seems like taking a leap of trying something new comes with a big price tag. Nevertheless, I'm motivated and I think its something that will change the way the current websites do things. If you are interested, please put in your email address at halfourdeen.com inshAllah and I'll inform you once its live so you can try it out.

Update:

I guess people seem to like this last video on YouTube (as of 11/18/08 at 3:19pm)
