What’s so cheese about it? It’s a young artist trying to reach out to the younger generation and have them more intouch with their Islam. I think it is very tastefully done and sweet. I guess people her rather see Haifa flash her boobs everywhere becuase that’s not cheeese at all. Did we become that westernized, that we can’t appreciate anything our fellow Arabs do? … i’m not that religius and i am tempted to say “Allah Yahdeekom Inshallah”

why do you think this is cheesy? its a nice religious peace and obviously a lot of hard work has gone to it, and i think all the stuff that is shown in the video are true events happens everyday in Kuwait especially that shot of a motorcycle dude after his crash cries to god for mercy i know for sure it happens all the time here my cousin is a rescue worker and when he tries to rescue some of those guys after a crash all they say is “god forgive me” maybe it’s cheesy for you because you don’t need a video to tell you what’s right ir wrong but believe me a lot of guys here do, and sometimes that all it takes to get them straight.
if you are talking about the acting ,editing, directing of this piece i think its alot better than most commercials done here.
sorry for being preachy but those guys deserve an effort for doing a good deed instead of singing about girls like they always do here.

Perhaps it is in a way, but I still commend their efforts for making something positive. Disagree with it all you want, but you have to admit it’s a nice break from the incredibly sinful (and crappy) music scene that has become the norm nowadays. Although I disapprove of music (instruments), I still liked the message behind this video.
I’m very supportive of this new video nasheed movement that’s been moving into the mainstream recently, pioneered by people like the beloved sheikh Mishary Al-Afasy. I think it’s a much needed step and a good substitute for nonesenseical, borderline pornographic pop “music” that appeals exclusively to man’s lower self.
As for those of you who asked, singing (in the sense that it is reciting poetry with a pleasent voice) is not impermissible in and of itself. It only becomes sinful when you add musical instruments (save a few permissible ones) and/or sinful lyrical content.

aww, times were really tough on the dude, he had a flat on his porsche.oh the humanity.

Damon Dash can a storyline get more cliché then this?
14. Think-Big | November 27th, 2007 at 10:07 am
You know a program in MBC2 (yalla Shabab), there are 2 of these shabab Qeswera AlKha6eb and Amro Alqadhi who owns Fullstop Ads. company, as someone told me before
and they who made always da3ayat mbc without mention any name of the producer ! for some reasons they have
but i think it is a good idea to publish something good with values and morals, cuz all channels are too bad .. iam afraid for my kids’ future :/
15. Linda | November 27th, 2007 at 10:25 am
not to sound shallow…i dunno wat u guyz were watchin but who the hells the cute guy!??!? lol
i think it delivers a msg sure…but you gotta admit the storyline is really cliché ..!

The point is, anything coming out of Saudi is so tarnished, that no one believes it.
The story of 200 lashes being dealt out to a Saudi Rape Victim has dealt another blow to the pride of all Middle Eastern Arabs…..Fcuk Saudi and everything it stands for.

Red Porsche + Red Rims = motorcycle crash
Noted.
18. Damon Dash | November 28th, 2007 at 2:36 am
will mark and linda i agree the storyline is a bit cliché but believe me in Kuwait it speaks true some people are that stupid and need something like this to at least move them to a better direction then the one they are in now since they have no family or real friends in there life, and they are not making a movie its just a positive message so it should be a cliché so people can relate to.

K. The Kwuaiti I think the equation would be better if it was Red Porsche + Expensive motorbike = what a difficult life ????
This vid is retarded, are we supposed to feel bad for the dude?

She was being punished because she was with another man, who was not her ma7ram, she got kidnapped while she was with her boyfriend, get your facts straight, bottom line, she was comitting adultery, and that’s why she’s gonna get an ass whoopin :)
