🎉 Assalamu Alaikum everyone! 🎉 |
It's great to see a community where Muslims and anyone interested in Islam can come together through a shared interest in Asian movies and dramas. |
Since this group is new and everyone is welcome to post respectfully, I thought it would be fun to start a thread where we can:
|
|
We'd love to get to know the members of our new group! Feel free to share as much or as little as you're comfortable with. |
You might like to tell us:
|
| |
Let's brainstorm some ideas for future discussions! | |
Below are a few discussion ideas that came to mind. Nothing is set in stone—we simply wanted to share them and see which ones the group would be interested in. | |
~ And if we're missing something, post your own thread idea! I'll keep this post updated with everyone's suggestions so they're easy to find. | |
Possible Discussion Thread Ideas | |
Ask a Question You've Always Wanted to Ask About Islam | A welcoming place where Muslims and non-Muslims alike can ask sincere questions about Islam. Members are encouraged to answer respectfully, cite reliable sources when possible, and acknowledge that different scholarly opinions may exist. |
Read Along: Complete the Qur'an Together | A community Qur'an reading challenge where members work together to complete a full Qur'an khatmah. Each participant continues from where the previous member stopped, may read as many pages as they wish, and is welcome to share a favorite verse or brief reflection afterward. |
Cultural Similarities Between Asian Cultures and Muslim Cultures | Explore traditions, customs, family values, etiquette, clothing, food, celebrations, and everyday practices in Asian cultures that resemble those found in Muslim communities. Members can share examples from movies, dramas, documentaries, or personal experiences. |
What K-Drama/C-Drama/J-Drama Would Be Considered Halal After a Few Modifications? | Recommend dramas that have positive stories but contain a few scenes some Muslim viewers may prefer to modify. Discuss what small changes would make them more suitable while keeping the conversation respectful and avoiding debates over religious rulings. |
The Muslim Entertainment Corner | Share wholesome entertainment such as nasheeds, Islamic songs, animations, inspiring videos, artwork, photography, documentaries, or any creative content that promotes positive values while keeping Islamic values in mind. |
Ayah or Hadith of the Day | Share a Qur'anic verse or authentic hadith that inspired you today, along with a short reflection or lesson if you'd like. |
What Surah or Verse Are You Listening to Today? | Share Qur'an recitations you've been listening to recently, your favorite reciters, English translations, or reflections on verses that have touched you. |
Cast your vote below, and feel free to explain your choice or suggest another idea in the comments! | |
| |
Now it's over to you! Looking forward to getting to know you all and reading your suggestions. | |
~ Towards the end of his life, Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would supplicate before leaving an assembly thus: "Subhanaka Allahumma wa bihamdika, ash-hadu an la ilaha illa Anta, astaghfiruka wa atubu ilaika (O Allah, You are free from every imperfection; all praise is for You. I testify that there is no true god except You, I ask Your forgiveness and turn to You in repentance).'' A man once said to him: "O Messenger of Allah! You have spoken such words as you have never uttered before.'' He said, "It is an expiation of that which goes on in the assembly.'' | |
TimiZero:
First of all thanks to @Ivy for starting the thread and personally inviting me to come here.
Waalaikum Assalam, Timi! I'm glad you accepted. I thought you'd bring a unique Malaysian-Japanese perspective to the community.
There's something about Malaysia that has always fascinated me. Maybe it's because I grew up watching anime, so in my head it became the Islamic version of Japan. 😆
Oh yeah I don't become member of this group yet because I want to see where it's going. Furthermore, I still can see the discussion without being the members.
Of course! Feel free to stick around and see if it's your kind of place.
Sumbangan anda sentiasa dialu-alukan. I hope I got that right. 😆
Eeshall:
Assalamu Alaikum everyone! Let me introduce myself, My name is Eesha, derived from عِيشَةٍۢ رَّاضِيَةٍۢ in Surah Al-Qariah, meaning “life of bliss.” On different platforms, I go by the name Eeshall, which means “a flower of heaven.” I am from Pakistan and live in Lahore. I am 22 years old, i joined mdl in 2020 .
Waalaikum Assalam, Eesha! What a beautiful name. May Allah bless your life with endless happiness and barakah. 🤍 I really enjoyed reading your introduction, and I'm looking forward to learning more about Pakistan.
I’m currently in my 4th professional year at university, with final exams coming up in a month or two.
Now I’m studying medicine
Wow, medicine! That's such a rewarding, yet demanding field. Everyone's journey is different, but let me encourage you a little: life after university is often much better than the university years themselves, inshaAllah. So keep going—you have a bright future ahead of you. May Allah grant you success in your final exams and make it easy for you. Ameen. 🤍
Oh, and one more thing... would you teach us how to say "May Allah grant me strength" in Punjabi? 😊

My name is Anunna Islam, but my online friends usually call me Anu. I'm from Bangladesh. I can communicate in Bangla, Hindi/Urdu, and English.
Waalaikum Assalam, multilingual Anu! 😆 It's so interesting how diverse our group is—we have Malaysians, Pakistanis, Arabs, and now Bangladeshis too! 😂
I don't know much Arabic yet, but I'm really interested in learning it.
I'd love to teach you Arabic, girl. Just say the word! 🤍
আপনার সঙ্গে পরিচিত হয়ে ভালো লাগল।. Did I get it right? 😂

Wow! Do you know Bengali too? 😲✨
My real name is Razan. I'm Jordanian with Syrian roots.
Nice to meet you Razan! Thank you for the gift too!

Haha if you're referring to scenery and nature then maybe it is slightly close (especially with Okinawa). We also have many Japanese expatriate with some Japanese-esque shopping attraction. But when it comes to attitude and discipline, Malaysian are still behind in many aspects not only to Japan but maybe to many other developed countries. I'm happy that you have such high perception about our country though!
I hope I got that right. 😆
It's perfect!
