Some points from the talk:
After watching arrivals i have become more consiouss?
People are not reading what they ought to read, and accessing what they ought to access for that to be obtained through a Halal and more appropriate ways.
The Arrivals is effective because it has come with a different spice and
flavour. In this techo generation people pay more attention to sensationalism
and movies rather than the Quran.
Why do Muslims latch on to to this series?
We are looking for answers in the wrong places. In some level, the answers
given make sense to us. Nowadays Muslims have abadoned contemplation and reading the relevant sources and have resorted to technology based information.
It has good in it does it not?
Yes but the evils excel the good, as the Quran mentions about Alcohol. Alcolhol has some benefits but the harms out weigh them. Even the lottery claims to help people as well.
Negatives of the series:
-The seerah of the Sahabah are not mentione AT ALL.
-They offer no solution mentioned from the Quran.
-There is music throughout the series
-They use inappropriate images to make their point.
-Amir Muawiyya [r.a] is not expressed in a possitive light.
-The Shia agenda of the Imams in expressed.
-The series gives the impression of helplessness, by claiming
we are being controlled in everything, and as though we are at the mercy
of the illuminati. Yet that contradicts belief that, Allah has power
over everything.
- They use weak hadiths.
-The authentic view is that Dajaal is a human, but they claim him
to be symbolic.
The bigger picture is our obeidenace to Allah and the hereafter and therefore
we should not get perturbed by sensationalism.
Rather than looking at ourselves and contemplating our decedenace and our
contribution to it, by our irreligion disposition, we find the easy way out by blaming the Illuminati.
