Its something new…in sha allah I hope this works out successfully!!

Jazaki Allahu Khairan for your comment! :)

I think this depends on what exactly you want to do. Journalism and mass communication might be a good start for becoming a film critic, a creative writer, a researcher, a marketing expert…etc.

It all depends on your talents, skills, what you’ve learned and how you can invest it.

Now, if you want to specialize in film production and you haven’t studied it yet, then it would definitely help to find a suitable film course/workshop nearby. You can learn the techniques and find out whether this is something you want to pursue and whether you are really capable of doing it well or not.

The most important thing, insha’Allah, is to identify what exactly YOU are good at and what you enjoy. Then, continue to educate yourself in that which you’re good at and try to earn experience if possible. All the while, of course, check your intention and keep an eye on the goal: wanting to use this as means for personal growth, being of benefit to people and getting closer and closer to Allah [subhanahu wa ta’ala].

AsSalamu Alayikum…

All I can say is subhanAllah after reading the interview. I am a physician and wanted to pursue film making as I exactly felt the same that we need individuals who can contribute in this manner especially having an interest in this field made it even more attractive to me.

Also as a child star back in days in television , experiencing the camera and working with other senior actors and then growing up getting close to my deen , I always felt that urge of doing something in this area.

Unfortunately it was always discouraged as its somehow been considered a taboo but we live in a different world today where we have to think above and beyond and especially with our kids glued to media we have to give them a healthy , productive alternative .

We loved watching inspiration as a family and we would wait for the next episode desperately .

InshAllah I would like to work and learn from such team members and contribute whatever I can do in all my humbleness .

Wassalam,
