MARYAM |
| |
There are various stories in the Qur’an about the lives of prophets and devout believers for the faithful to adopt as role models. One of those devout individuals whose excellent moral values should be reflected on and taken as a model is Maryam. Maryam is one of the two women believers whom God reveals as an example to all the faithful in the Qur’an. |

LIFE IN THE SEAS - FOR CHILDREN 5 |
| |
The schools we study in, the parks where we play, the air we breathe, the sky above, the mountains with peaks, the rivers with rushing waters are all things of our world. Other entities, apart from us, also live on the Earth. Birds, zebras, elephants, giraffes, cats… Trees, flowers, fruits, vegetables… Yet, there is also another world that these plants and animals, including us, cannot live in!
God has created them in an ideal form to live in the seas and oceans. There are entities also here. Let us now take a short trip and get to know some of the creatures that live in the sea. |

LET'S GET TO KNOW OUR PROPHETS - FOR CHILDREN 11 |
| |
Prophets have called people, in the societies where they have been sent, to worship God. They have told the people that they will be punished if they do not worship Him.
With their superior, moral characteristics, prophets have been examples to people because of their closeness to God and carefully-considered behavior.
Now, let’s get to know some of these prophets; let’s see what they have said to their peoples and find out about the things they did which we can use as examples. |

KNOWING OUR LORD - FOR CHILDREN 12 |
| |
Who created you? Who gave you your hair and your eyes their color? Who said how tall you would be and what color your skin would be? And, Who created your mother, your father and your friends? Who created mountains, trees, the sea, the Sun, and the Moon? Who created cats and dogs, squirrels, giraffes, and the other creatures?
Most of you will all answer these questions in the same way: “God created us and everything else.” Of course, this is the right answer! So, how well do you know Almighty God, the Creator of us and the whole universe? God has revealed Himself to us in the Qu’ran. In this film, we will get to know God through the verses of the Qu’ran and try to get closer to Him. |

A VOYAGE THROUGH THE UNIVERSE - FOR CHILDREN 4 |
| |
The huge void containing our Earth, the Sun that warms us, and the Moon and the stars that twinkle in the night sky, is known as the universe. But how big is it? You may think that the area from one end of the city you live in, to the other end, is very large. Some of you may have traveled from one end to the other of your country and you have seen how big it is. Some of you may even have traveled to far-off countries. But, do not forget… Even if you have gone all around the world, the distances involved are still nothing compared to the vastness of the universe. The space occupied by the Earth in the universe is no bigger than a grain of sand! |

A CALL FOR AN ISLAMIC UNION |
| |
There are more than 1.2 billion Muslims living in the world today. Muslims constitute a majority of the population in 56 separate countries. There are problems, conflicts and even wars between some of these countries. In the present day the Islamic world has been unable to establish the necessary union, for which reason it is not sufficiently powerful.
Furthermore, there is no center to define and teach Islamic moral values …
This, in turn, prepares the groundwork for those who put forward mistaken models in the name of Islam. The fact is, however, that all these problems can be solved and Islamic civilization can once again illuminate the whole world. The way for this to happen is for all Muslims to unite.
Through unity, and the construction of an “Islamic Union.”

A BOUQUET OF GOD'S BEAUTIES |
| |
All the living things on Earth have been created with innumerable, exceptional and superior features, from reproduction to defense, and from the way they feed to their systems of movement.
Some build nests like architects, some ponder like chemists and come up with the ideal form of heating, and others still are true masters of camouflage.
When one examines the lives of these creatures they will see that both the physical attributes and behavior are in complete harmony with one another and with their environment. |

A SCIENTIFIC BLOW TO DARWINISM: IRREDUCIBLE COMPLEXITY |
| |
Archaeologists carry out long and difficult excavations looking for clues, such as tools, works of art, household items and the like, that can provide clues about the history of life and living things.
Coins, hand tools, kitchen equipment and decorative goods all provide important clues about the lives of people in the past.
Archaeologists know that the items they find do not appear under the ground by chance. Nobody has ever claimed that they do. Even if we do not actually witness these items being made, we can still be certain of the existence of people who designed and made them.
So what about life? How should people who realise that even a simple artefact from under the ground is the product of design account for the origin of living things, each one of which has its own complexity?
Organs possessed of irreducible complexity in living things, such as the ones you will see in this film, totally undermine the theory of evolution and reveal the fact that we are created by God.
Life was created, and reveals to us the omniscience of our Creator, Almighty God, the Lord of all the worlds... |

GOD'S BLESSING OF TECHNOLOGY |
| |
The early 1900s saw major advances in transport technology. Mankind welcomed these advances, which made life so much easier, and quickly adapted to them.
Less than a century later, jets, high-speed trains and smart cars have all become part of our lives. Journeys which used to take days are now but a matter of hours.
The advances in technology are not limited to modern means of transport. Technological possibilities in many fields, especially in health, information and communications, have assumed giant dimensions.
In many peoples’ view, the modern buildings they live in, the cars they drive, computers, televisions and all the other countless products of technology are entirely “man-made.” The fact is, however, that if they think a little deeper and engage in a conscious examination they will see that there is a very important truth behind these advances:
Technology is also an example of God’s blessings to mankind, and thanks must be given to Him for all these things. In this film, you will see why it is that technology is a blessing for which we must give thanks to God. |

THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD (SAAS) |
| |
One night in April 571 AD, 14 bastions of the palace of the fire-worshipping Persian emperors were torn down.
That destruction was a sign and great glad tidings of the coming into the world of the Prophet Muhammad (saas).
His coming would bring with it knowledge, and ignorance would depart.
Justice would come, and oppression be brought to an end.
Civilization would come, and savagery come to an end.
After that, the world would be illuminated by the light of the true faith revealed to him.
In this film you will see the superior moral values of the Prophet Muhammad (saas), sent by Almighty Allah as a mercy to the worlds, and witness how the message he preached from his faith and trust in Allah spread quickly, by His will, across a very wide geographical area.
You will see the persistence and determination of the Prophet (saas), a means whereby millions of people over the last 14 centuries have turned to faith and come to live by the moral values revealed in the Qur’an, and how the impact on the world of the True Faith imparted to the Prophet (saas) is today growing ever greater and how hundreds of people every day are flooding to the true path shown by him. |

THE BLOODY HISTORY OF FASCISM - 2 |
| |
Fascism is an ideology that has wreaked the most terrible destruction.
It has led to the deaths and torture of millions of people simply because of their race, as well as to the tragedy of the World War II. Everywhere it has raised its head it has sought to eliminate all human values by creating a “society of fear.”
Today it is manifested as a widespread regime in Latin American and African countries in particular, and in the Western world by growing racist tendencies and neo-Nazi organizations.
Fascist culture is also spreading onto the streets in a great many countries, and is producing barbarian groups that delight in violence and bloodshed.
A worldwide “intellectual struggle against fascism” is therefore essential. If fascism is to be eliminated, then paganism and such myths as the Darwinist concept of “conflict” and Darwinist racism must first be overcome in the intellectual sphere.
In order for that to happen, people need to be taught such basic moral concepts as love, affection, compassion, modesty, tolerance and justice, and these need to be propagated widely.
The source of all these concepts is the Qur’an.
While fascism incites people to war, violence, bloodshed and racism, the moral values of the Qur’an commanded by God represent the foundations of a world filled with peace and security. |

PROPHET ABRAHAM (AS) AND PROPHET LOT (AS) |
| |
Throughout history God has called people to the true path through the prophets He has sent them.
The aim of all these holy individuals has been one and the same: to call people to believe in God and to serve only Him. They relayed the Divine religion to humanity and demonstrated how to live the ideal life. Thus, these chosen servants of God represent the very finest model of superior characteristics, proper moral values, and ideal behavior and reactions to events.
Two of these blessed individuals are Prophet Ibrahim and Prophet Lut (peace be upon them). |

MAGNIFICENCE EVERYWHERE |
| |
Assume that you have lived in one room since you were born. This room is completely bare without even a small window through which you could see outside. It is furnished with only a few pieces of plain furniture for your basic needs. Suppose that, in this room where you lead your life, you are provided with just a few kinds of food and drink necessary for you to survive...
Then imagine that you are taken out of this room where you have lived all your life and you see the outside world for the first time. In such a situation, what would you think of the world? |

IDEALISM THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE MATRIX AND THE TRUE NATURE OF MATTER |
| |
Many of the movies that have hit the big screen over the last few years share a common subject as part of their storyline. These films question reality—or the real world, as we know it—pointing out that artificially created dream worlds or worlds produced by simulations can actually be quite realistic.
These films also deal with suggestions, thus far represented only as food for thought at scientific gatherings, of how these questions could affect our lives.
What is real? How do you define "real"? If you're talking about your senses—what you feel, taste, smell, or see—then all you're talking about are electrical signals interpreted by your brain.
Doubtless one of the foremost reasons why these films, based on scientific explanations, captivate the attention of millions is the fact that people now question the reliability of the external world's assumptions and preconditions. |

MAKKAH, THE MOTHER OF CITIES, AND THE HOLY SITE OF THE KAABA |
| |
Makkah; the holy city where our beloved Prophet Muhammad (saas) was born and raised, and the center of Islam for hundreds of years...
And a place of security since its construction right up to the present day to which all Muslims turn: the Kaaba...
This sacred spot has been bringing Muslims together throughout the history of Islam, and is still doing so today.
In this film, you will see how these sites are referred to in the Qur’an, learn about their history and the Hajj obligation, which will all be a cause of increased excitement and enthusiasm among Muslims.
Watch this film! Don’t miss it!

THE GOLDEN RATIO |
| |
What do the pyramids in Egypt, Leonardo da Vinci's portrait of the Mona Lisa, sunflowers, the snail, the pine cone and your fingers, all have in common?
The answer to this question lies hidden in a series of numbers discovered by the Italian mathematician, Leonardo Fibonacci. The characteristic of these numbers, known as the Fibonacci numbers, is that each one is the sum of the preceding two numbers.
Fibonacci numbers have an interesting feature. When you divide one number in the series by the number before it, you obtain numbers very close to one another.
In fact, this number is fixed after the 13th in the series and is known as the "Golden Ratio."
The examples of the golden ratio exist in our own bodies and in all living things in nature, are just a few of the proofs that God has created all things with a measure. |

MIRACLES OF THE QUR'AN - 03 |
| |
Miracles of the Qur’an are not limited to scientific developments alone.
Verses of the Qur’an also contain a great many miracles regarding historical matters.
Many tribes, cities, kings and wars are described in our Holy Book.
Furthermore, research and archeological discoveries have confirmed this information that was imparted fourteen hundred years ago.
There is absolutely no doubt that the Qur'an is a revelation and a miracle of God

MIRACLES OF THE QUR'AN - 02 |

A Divine scripture was sent down to humanity 14 centuries ago; this sacred book is the Qur’an.
From the day of its revelation to the Day of Judgment, it will remain as the last and sole guide for humanity.
There are countless proofs that the Qur’an is the word of God.
In the first film, scientific miracles of the Qur’an were examined and shown as proof. A great many scientific facts we have only recently been able to establish using modern-day technology, from the layers of the Earth to continental drift, and from the gender of a baby to atomic sub-particles, were revealed in our Book fourteen centuries ago. |

LIVING FOSSILS |
| |
Evolutionists claim that one species turned into another, and all the life forms on the Earth have thus emerged. If this were true, then there must have been countless fossils of intermediate forms that show these different species allegedly evolving into one another. But no fossils of half-fish semi-amphibians, half-dinosaur half-birds, or half-ape half-humans of the kind sought by evolutionists have ever been found. Quite the contrary, the Earth’s fossil layers actually prove that living things have existed in their perfect forms ever since they were first created by God. |

ARROGANCE: THE CHARACTER OF SATAN |
| |
Throughout history arrogant people have led millions of people to suffering together with themselves. Still today, arrogance is inflicting a world of darkness on countless numbers of people. The inhabitants of this dark world live without sincerity. They love to boast and the only things they want are praise from others and a constant place in the limelight. Wherever they are, they think they are the best, the most attractive and the most successful people present. They seek to make this apparent by all possible means. This state of mind is reflected in their behavior. |

THE EXCELLENT MORAL VALUES OF BELIEVERS-3 |
| |
Everyone experiences moments that might be described as “difficult” in their lives.
Yet no matter how negative any situation may appear at first sight, no matter how unpalatable it may be to one’s self, it is still filled with beauty and goodness for anyone looking at it from a Muslim perspective.
Because believers know that all these perceived difficulties created by God are actually tests…
And, furthermore, contrary to appearances, they are auspicious and filled with beauty.
The person concerned may not be able to see it, but the important thing is to have an absolute belief that everything is created for an auspicious purpose, and to behave accordingly. |

|
| |
| |
|
THE EXCELLENT MORAL VALUES OF BELIEVERS-2 |
| |
Unity, devotion, love, affection, compassion, altruism, trust... Solidarity, friendship, mutual assistance, tolerance, loyalty, faithfulness, concern and protection of others ...
Most people express their longing for features of proper moral values at every available opportunity. They complain of being unable to come by features of such proper moral values they wish for. In fact, however, proper moral values are only possible through fearing God and feeling deep devotion to Him. It is therefore only sincere believers who truly live by these virtues.
There are many verses in the Qur’an concerning people’s daily lives and social relationships. Believers seek to live by these pleasing moral values God revealed in the Qur’an at every moment of their lives. No matter what the circumstances may be, they never make any concessions on demonstrating these proper moral values. In this film, you will witness the excellent moral values of believers.

A SUPERSTITIOUS RELIGION IN MODERN TIMES: THE NEW AGE |
| |
The 1960s were a turning point for Western societies… The ruinous effects of two world wars, the atom bombs dropped over Japan and a string of events such as the Vietnam War provoked a huge reaction against the established order by American youth.
The situation was no different in European countries. Young people opposed existing orders and became caught up in perverted movements in a flagrant desire to “rebel” or “to attract attention.” Degenerate behavior and perverted beliefs were spread by the day.
Young people claiming to be opposed to war established a movement that would leave its imprint on the 1960s: This was the beginning of the hippy culture.
It seemed that the world was full of young people ready to fill the world with flowers all for the sake of peace. They believed that the way forward was to be natural and free.
In reality their perverse philosophy led them only to degeneration. |

FOSSILS HAVE DISCREDITED EVOLUTION |
| |
Evolutionists claim that all the living things we see today emerged spontaneously by one species turning into another. If this claim were true, the Earth would be full of intermediate form fossils linking different living species to one another. However, no intermediate form fossil has to date been encountered because God has created all living things on Earth from nothing, at the time most suited to their own way of life. |
