As-salaamu alaikum Ali!! LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL. I have to say I think that was one of the funniest if not the funniest videos you have ever done and of course, that is in large part due to the topic. Great job. I really hope it benefits people (I may be in-line in the near future!hehe.Thanks for the sample questions, I've always wanted some help with that. I loved so many parts of the video, and the laundry guy was scary - in a good way. Just sooo great. I could easily watch that again several times, like many of your other videos. All the best with the launch of the site in Jan. Best wishes, as always. Br. Anees

I think i figured out why it is "half our deen".

The reason we are here is because Adam and Hawa (Eve) disobeyed Allah and was thrown out "divorced" of the Jannah and to return to the Jannah we must marry and live with a mate to assist us with returning to the Jannah...oh and make babies so Man continues in a pure state


- No Quran references for this ponder.

thanx baba Ali

Hey Baba Ali, I'm not sure if you'll get this message, but I just wanted to put this word out there. I'm going to be in LA (Westwood area) for an internship from the beginning of January till the end of March, so I was wondering if I would be able to help out with any projects that you all might be doing during that timme? My field is digital design, and I have an interest in film making and the like, and I would be able to work on the weekends. Just to add that I'm a non-Muslim, but inspired by the cause of Ummah films, so I would appreciate it if you could let me know of any opportunities to work for you guys. Thanks! - Bhavna

A'Salaamu walaykum wa Rahmatullah,

I too, have attempted to pursue marriage via the internet using various matrimonial sites. It is embarrasing, to say the least and most of the men registered will not converse with you without a picture and some of the men just like the chatting feature. I hope "Baba Ali" that you compile enough information to make your website "truly" different and not a upgraded copy of what is al ready out there. As a your Bretheren in Islam , I would like to provide you feedback of my experience, if it will benefit your up and coming matrimonial website. I wish you the best of luck and pray that All the Muslimeen may one day fulfill "Half of their Deen", Insha'Allaah Ta'ala.

Walaykum Salaam wa Rahmatullah,

Aysha

Soooo i am really excited about this new website, and lets hope my parents are not angry about it
Thanks Baba ALi,,, Shokran Jazeelan wa jazaka Allah khayran (^.^)

slamz,
the video was good alhamdlulillah. just about the nasheed at the start, I thought the "how can you deny" nasheed was absolutely brilliant mashallah when I first heard it and its cool how they manage to do so well mashallah without any instruments and just through words.Just a comment, I think for half of our deen the nasheed is possibly a bit dreamy, because its so short, if it was longer it would possibly fit the part. And the target is possibly younger muslims i.e 20+ age and I dont think its very attention grabbing. Its just something i found when i listened to it. just some feedback inshallah

wslamz sis in Islaam

Asalamu alaikum, Mash-Allah brother Ali. What a good idea mash-allah. The matrimonial sites are good I guess out their. But with unique ideas things could really improve for the single brothers and sisters out their. I think we don't ask the right questions when looking for someone or were to caught up with what society says in who is good and so on.

May Allah bless you and your group's work ameen

The failure of the Muslims to get married is because they don't follow the rules of Islam in going about it! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!... =)

I am proud to have left Islam. Muhammad was not God's messenger at all. He was a misguided buffoon.

The Quran is a forgery and decidely not from God. It was written by various people and Muhammad collected it together. Furthermore, the Quran is not perfect at all whatsoever.

I feel much better about myself now that I have left Islam. I now know the truth that Islam is a lie and that Muslims are wrong about most everything in life.

Thank God I left Islam.

"Or do they say, "He forged it"? Say: "Bring then a Sura like unto it, and call (to your aid) anyone you can besides Allah, if it be ye speak the truth!" (Yunus, Chapter #10, Verse #38)

And that verse already invalided you, "Abu Hikmah".

Aslam o Alikum, Wow this was awesome. The movie was helpful and, those are good questions to ask a potential spouse. I will be using all of those questions suggested, especially the last one...just joking. You really are funny and have an amazing way to get the message across brother. It is a gift that I admire. Keep it up, you're making a difference! I can't wait until you start making more videos again, but Half our deen is an awesome idea and I hope that it is successful, since it will help a lot of people out.

Can we address a the weight issue in greater detail please? In Islam, and just as general good citizens, we are taught not to judge people by their appearances and to see the nature of someones character.

Its a shame that most muslims can not get past this weight issue. As an overweight young muslim woman, i have been told bluntly that I will never wed because of my appearance. Is that truly the mentality of our ummah? Brothers, please. Check yourself before you wreck yourself. Learn how to judge and decide for real beauty, and get to know a person, even through a website, for more than their appearance. Chances are, you're no runway model either.

Any thoughts baba ali?
Cant wait to see the 'appearance checklist' on halfmydeen.com.

You seem very desperate to get married! By the way, have you checked out most of the other "Islamic dating web sites" already, and do you speak from experience when you say that they are just like the other non-Islamic dating web sites?
