Awesome Ad for Peace TV with Dr. Zakir Naik

April 14th, 2008  Posted in Video

Came across this the other day.

Neat, huh? I love Dr. Zakir Naik. It’s also kinda funny how it rhymes at some points.

Anyway, the first thought I had after seeing this was, “wow, this ad is really well produced.” I thought it was really refreshing to see an Islamic video that is produced “professionally” or with “high quality.” Most videos work we have now is basic record a lecture and throw it up on YouTube, with the quality being decent enough to understand and benefit from.

But then I had a second thought. What if the day comes when the standards of this video become the norm for Islamic video production. No more unsynced or fuzzy audio, no more handheld recordings without tripods, and no more sub-par. The same goes for all of our modern Dawah techniques; websites, audio CDs, and books.

May Allah (SWT) bring that day when the high standards of today are the low standards of yesterday.
