I was hoping someone would post something about the show...so thanx for this. The show really really annoyed me because there were so many points in the show where things could have been explained properly, for example why girls wear the headscarf. I'm still going to watch it though cos i think it is funny. Especially the gay guy, how hilarious.
One point I forgot to mention is the Imaam Muhammad going to search for a wife for the Gay bloke...Now as a Muslim (Alhamdulillah) I'd be freaked out to see an Imaam doing that on the streets...I wonder what the Non-Muslims must have thought?
I think the tasks are a bit silly. They should concentrate on the explanations of the rulings as opposed to just saying: 'oh you look like a female' in addition to 'you are inviting yourself to be raped with these clothing' (words to that effect). No wonder that english girl went psycho on him.
There is one imaam on the show who can explain it well - not suleiman or muhammad or the revert/convert sis (don't know much about her as the show hardly gives her much air time) but that other other guy (I forgot his name) - he's just like me: the man. That can. From pakistan.
Also, they should have had another sister or at the very least have the revert sis explaining with the non-muslim females. It seemed a little random with which imam is being sent where and it got to an extent they had to use 2 imaams on one guy (they had to go back to him and send another Imam). Bah, they should have set it in leicester At-taqwa mosque. Would have been much better.
Still, at least the show is being aired. I just hope it doesn't end in tears, like most of C4's recent Islamic/muslim related shows (well, anything after 'dispatches: what muslims want' - which I must admit was actually quite good. The rest, however, were a load of tosh)
Someone said to the Prophet, "Pray to God against the idolaters and curse them." The Prophet replied, "I have been sent to show mercy and have not been sent to curse." (Muslim)

I think you mean Ajmal Masroor right? I think thats his name anyway...the one that went into the pub...

Yeah, Ajmal him. To be fair, he did leave the pub and only went in to get that bloke OUT of it. He then explained the Sharia law bit, which I was really pleased with. Best of all, that explanation is all that was needed.

He seems to be the voice of reason in the whole thing...yeah i understand, i was rather shocked when he walked into it...But I liked the way he got the bloke out of there...he speaks in such a way that the other cannot refuse. Masha'Allah
The show is set in Harrogate (to the person who asked )
And I agree Imam Ajmal Masroor was also my favourite.
It annoyed me how the Muhammad guy was unable to defend his point of view due to his limited range of vocab (no offence to him of course it wasn't his fault!). He should have asked them to explain to him exactly what they perceived Shariah law to be and then work from there. Quite often, people assume that they know what Shariah is all about when that is just not the case at all.
And also Sheikh Sulaiman (who I have always liked) failed to explain that it was homosexual practices and acts that are forbidden and not the actual sexual orientation itself. It was ridiculous to suggest that the guy 'chose' to be gay. I don't believe that for one moment.
I do appreciate though that it isn't easy to get the right words out when you're being attacked from all corners. I would probably just panic and have a nervous breakdown haha.
I think I should go on it Haha!
So yeah, Ajmal Masroor - my fave. The best communicator and the most understanding of all the mentors. He knows when to laugh and when to be serious.
