Muslims – can someone make a documentary about the real islam?
Almost everything that we see in the media about islam paints a very negative picture. It would be great to see a documentary and more in the media generally showing what islam is really about and helping to tackle religious fundamentalism
Please note I posted this after seeing ‘my brother the islamist’ which I think is a portrayal of the negative side of the religion. Obviously we see news stories relating to islamic issues, but tehse are put together by western media. I’d like to see a sensible documentary from real muslims saying this is what we’re about. Maybe this already exists?
Thank you for asking me about my religion.
Before i began to answer your question, i would like to state two important things:
1. As Muslims we cannot lie about anything, especially about our religion.
2. We have original recorded sources of our religion:
A) The Quran
http://www.quranexplorer.com
B) Teachings of Muhammad – the Authentic saying or Sunnah
http://www.quranexplorer.com/hadith/english/index.html
This is a unique part of Islam, not available in any other ancient religions.
Muslims submit and surrender their will and desires to the will and the laws of the Creator. By referring to, “The Creator”, Muslims are talking about “Allah.”
“Allah” simply means “The God” in Arabic.

Islam is a verb and a noun at the same time.
The first meaning of “Islam” is the verb from the root “aslama” (a verb), meaning to: “surrender; submit; obey; sincerity and in peace.”
The second meaning of “Islam” is the noun form from the same root, and it describes the last and final form of the way of life as perscribed by the Creator for His Creation. This is the name used in Quran for Muslims to call themselves as followers of “Islam”. This would make them “Islam-ers” in English, but of course in Arabic the prefix “mu” is added to denote the one preforming the action or verb and instead it becomes “mu”-”islam” or “Muslim.”
“Islam” can be understood in a very general sense to be the true religion of God, as it is from Him and according to His commandments without adding to or taking away from the basic precepts.
