5 new Muslim Video Trailers worth watching

Journey To Mecca - In The Footsteps of Ibn Battuta Trailer

The goal of a video trailer is to entice us into watching the documentary or movie it is promoting. It could also advertise a program or conference we plan on attending.

I always enjoy watching these previews of documentaries or movies that are Islam related.  Its exciting to see the different perspectives in our Muslim community and to also marvel at our glorious history.

I’ve found 5 different Muslim video trailers that I think you should watch.  They all vary in content and style. Check them out and let me know what you think in the comments.

  1. Journey To Mecca – In The Footsteps of Ibn Battuta Trailer

    I had first heard of Ibn Babutta when my wife was doing her thesis research.  He was one of Islam’s most famous travelers having visited many different parts of the World (and this was before airplanes so it makes it even more interesting).

    I am really looking forward to this IMAX film.  This trailer does a beautiful job of getting us excited and wanting more.  Just imagine seeing the Kaaba on a giant IMAX screen, SubhanAllah! You can find out more info here: http://www.journeytomeccagiantscreen.com/.

  2. Tufaan

    Tufaan is a documentary about the Hurricane Katrina Experience. It talks about Muslims who experienced it and who were involved in the relief work after the disaster. You can find out more information from http://tufaanmovie.com/.

  3. New Muslim Cool

    New Muslim Cool is about a convert brother named Hamza Perez who quit his life as a drug dealer and became a Muslim 12 years ago. He moves to Pittsburg to start a new religious community and takes his message to youth using Muslim Hip Hop.

    The documentary also shows his struggles as a single dad of two trying to get married and the issues he faces as a Muslim in a post 9/11 world. You can find out more information at http://www.newmuslimcool.com/.

  4. Fiqh of Salah Promo

    This is a promotional video for the Fiqh of Salah program by Al Maghrib Institute. It was done by Belal Khan, the same talented brother who worked on the Tufaan documentary above. MashAllah, he is doing excellent work. You can read about him and see more of his videos at http://www.leechon.com/.

  5. Deen Tight Trailer

    Last but not least, we have a documentary about Music and Muslims. Deen Tight looks at how music, specifically Hip Hop, impacts and influences Muslim youth. Also, it discusses the perceived conflict between the traditional and modern in regards to the ruling of music in Islam. Check out more info here: http://deentight.com.

Once again a very informative post. I watched all the trailers and it’s nice to have them all in one spot. I can’t wait until the Ibn Battuta one comes out. Just the trailer gave me goosebumps with the people circling the Kaaba. This blog just keeps getting better and better. Keep them coming, brother.
