The Reminder - Series 1 (Video DVD)

This DVD is a must to watch. It is a light-hearted comedy aimed at Muslims, especially the youth. You will laugh all the way through — yet it is very informative.

The Ten Episodes

1. Funny things at Jumu'ah
2. Finding your future spouse online
3. $25,000 Muslim weddings
4. Muslim while flying
5. Muslim characters at work
6. Distractions during salat
7. Seasonal Muslims
8. Culture vs Islam
9. Who hijacked my religion?
10. How I converted to Islam

Why Comedy Reaches Where Lectures Do Not

Look at that list and the reason becomes obvious. Extravagant weddings, culture confused with religion, people who appear at the masjid twice a year, minds wandering in prayer — these are things every Muslim recognizes and nobody responds well to being lectured about.

Made funny, they land. A young person who would switch off during a khutbah on cultural practices will watch an episode about it and see himself in it, which is considerably more effective.

Who It Is For

Youth groups, families and anybody who has ever sat in a masjid trying not to laugh. Part of the sales of this DVD goes toward Ummah Films.
