Baba Ali’s season 3 is in full swing, this time he tackles the Jummah Khutba’s

The first of many I hope, UmmahFilms continues to impress. They’ve been working on this short film for quite some time, with a tight budget and inexperienced crew, they pulled it off and did a superb job!

This week, BabaAli tackles the universal topic of Racism.  Being Muslim in South Africa, and being ‘Indian’ we get racism in two flavours.  One is the usual skin color (black, white, asian, etc)  and the other is amongst our own Indian culture.

The “caste” system, yes this is racism.  Yet many of our elderly folk practice this, dare i say, religiously!

I truly hope they get to see this video and realize their narrow minded view is keeping them and our Ummah in general backwards.

Life is filled with opportunities to do good, many have their rewards in this world and many have it in the afterworld. At the end of the day, we all need to rackup as many good deeds as possible to get Jannah!

Right, now that I’v said that, Baba Ali has this ambitious project of doing a proper Movie. We’r all tired of the one-sided double standard approach to Islam and Muslims in general, this time Baba Ali wants to show the true Islam. Besides, we’v all benefited someway or the other from the UmmahFilms videos, time to give something back. Be a part of the solution, not the problem.

To quote:

Most of us can’t afford making a film on our own but as a collective whole, I believe we can raise the money if we work together. All we can do is put in the effort and the rest is Allah (swt) hands. That is been what I have repeated many times for all my past projects and what I am repeating again for this project. If you want to be part of this effort, you can contribute using the widget below.

This was supposed to be the pilot episode of AskBaba Ali,  would have been better if it was aired during the festive season.  In this clip, Baba Ali tackles the year-end/christmas parties thrown by most companies & corporates.  Islamic common sense tells us to stay away from these but anyway, heres Baba Ali’s take on this:

Some heartwarming, humorous yet important short films have won this years Link TV “One Nation, Many Voices” Contest.

My personal fav, Baba Ali’s Muslim While Flying has won first prize in the Best Comedy.

Below is his winning movie:

Another new installment in the Ask Baba Ali show, this time Baba talks about the “random” security checks at airports.

Episode Three of the AskBabaAli show has just been released on youtube, this time BabaAli tackles the issue of backbiting & how to address this type of situation.
