To start with I must admit that I have never watched Big Brother myself. (I couldn't if I wanted to, because we don't receive TV channels)

From the media and from conversations with friends and colleagues I get the gist of what the show is about.

I gather at the moment there are two Muslims in the Big Brother house.
My question to Muslims here is how do you feel about Muslims taking part in this show?
Are they representing Islam in a manner which you approve of?
Should they be there at all?
Could this be a way to do da'wah and present Islam to non-believers?
 
i havent got a clue.

do any of the muslims have beards./hijaab? if no

do they drink alcohol? if yes

do they flirt/chat alone etc with opposite gender? if yes

they do not represent islaam

The only time I watched BB was when jermaine jackson was in it. But that's because he was muslim and I wanted to see what he was upto. Mashallah, he was a role model in that house, both in terms of religious and racial identity.

Usually I don't watch BB. I was only aware of one muslim being in this year's BB, mainly because of his name lol. The main gripe I would have for muslims being on that show is that it's sort of like a muslim entering a pub; you're surrounded by a lot of haram and/or dodgy stuff (like say the wedding task or cross dressing etc). Infact, you can probably do more haram in that house then you can outside!

I do admit that it can be used as a form of dawah, though personally I wouldn't recommend any muslim to go on BB full stop, let alone for dawah purposes. But on the other hand, perhaps dawah on BB could be a good thing (seeing as it's a television program, so has a mass audience). Ah I don't know.... personal prefference would say no but I can see an argument for it at the same time...

I need an emoticon to express my final thoughts on the matter. This will do: :grumbling

From what I have read in the media, I don't think any Muslims in Big brother represent Islam according to your specifications.

It leaves a problem though: as far as the viewers are concerned (based on the statements of the individuals themselves), those participants are representing Islam ...:-[

they most certainly do not.

And anyone who knows islamic teachings can clearly see they do not even observe the clear obligationg of wearing the hijaab
 
i hate watching big brother especially when i knew that there are muslim in there that dont represent Islam
 
I was going to ask how Muslims feel when people appear publically like that - but najla has laready answered the question! :)

I must admit that it would annoy be too, when somebody appears publically, declaring him/herself to be a Christian and saying things or acting in ways which I would consider whole un-Christian! :(

For the record, as I understand the muslimah (see picture above) is viewed in the eyes of the media as a pretty devout and strict Muslim, at least in the views she expresses verbally ...
 
Argh big brother, such a loser show! Never watch it and its worse when theres a muslim in it, so embarassing! You just think, Oh god what is the world gonna think when they see that??!
 
u know whats annoying about it.? is that everyone here talks about it 24/7 its proper annoying.

From the pics you can only see if one is wearing the proper Hijab or not lol.

I don't like them in there but since they are then I hope good will come out of it, but I mean, how could you pray Jumu'ah?

I remember once another Muslim was in there, and he used to pray, and a girl asked if she could watch him pray and they spoke about religion.

Is the second picture, the person wearing pink, a man or woman? From the clothes they look female, but....the hair and the sideburns beg to differ?:X
 
He's a guy, aparently they had an arguement about him dressing as a female or something

Erm ... I think it's a man dressed as a woman (from what I gather it was a themed party)
I think it's what the muslimah is telling him off for (you can see from her face that she is cross)

Did he do it as a joke, or is he just like a muslim cross dresser?...

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they're not the best representative of Islam...
