Using Abstractions to Depict the Prophet in Cinema
Interview with film critic İhsan Kabil -Perhaps the first thing that comes to mind on the subject of "Prophets and the Cinema" are films about Jesus. What do you have to say about the approach of Western cinema to Jesus? Ever since the time of silent movies, cinema has approached Jesus' life in a very serious manner.

Awaiting My Turn

"The Message is a Materialistic Film"
-Why aren't Muslims able to sufficiently reflect their heritage of faith and cultural values on the cinema screen? Western cinema, on the other hand, is quite comfortable with Christianity, the church and even Jesus... We can say that we are unable to successfully use the cinema not only in the area of religion, but in any area. We are a country that has lived a great rupture in the area of cul...
To Remember Prophet Muhammad: "Why Does the Prophet Matter?"
Interview with Omid Safi One of the things that was important to me was that as contemporary Muslims we should be able to take a look at what our past has been and be able to say that we have had some Muslims who have preferred not to have any images and we have had some Muslims who have preferred to have images with the face. Muslims are having hard times today in explaining themselves to the w...
