Cartoon Controversy - NEW Imam Zaid Shakir Article


Our beloved Imam Zaid has written another important article that discusses the current cartoon crisis. Here is an excerpt:

In an age of instantaneous communications and
globalized media it is important for Muslims to reaffirm our commitment
to the prophetic ethical ideal. Under prevailing conditions, the
sensationalized excesses of some Muslims, excesses that contradict the
ethical teachings of our Prophet, ,
are often used to distort the perception of Islam in the West. That
distortion in turn helps to create prejudiced attitudes towards Islam
and Muslims.

Muhammad: Description of the Prophet



Alhambra Productions is proud to say that we love and respect the Noble Prophet of God, Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah upon him ). Prophet Muhammad is our leader, teacher and spiritual guide.
To honor his presence in our lives, Alhambra Productions would like to offer a classic title for free with purchases of $50 and above (retail value of $18.95!).

The Description of the Prophet and On Celebrating the Prophet's Birthday is one of our more popular titles. This is a double CD set that features Shaykh Salek bin Siddina reciting the description of the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah upon him , from the narration of Sayyidina Hassan (the Prophet's grandson).

The second disc contains important elements that should never be overlooked:

One of the calamities of religions is when the Messenger becomes exalted over the One who sent him. We do not believe the Prophet Muhammad is divine. We have been given the gift of understanding the Messenger in relation to the One who sent him. The Prophet Muhammad is central to teachings of Islam. You cannot exalt the Creator without exalting His Messenger and you cannot exalt His Message without exalting His Messenger. We are commanded by God to magnify the Prophet, peace and blessing upon him. Shaykh Hamza Yusuf eloquently explains why we must celebrate the Prophet every day of our lives.

We are offering this double CD set is free with purchases of $50 and above during these times of confusion and turmoil. We request all of our customers and supporters who may already have this important set to take advantage of this offer. Please share this lecture with your friends, family, neighbors and colleagues who may have questions about our beloved Prophet.

Visit our online store to purchase other quality products from us. We will automatically add this CD free in your package prior to shipping.

May the love of the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah upon him , and all the Prophets be increased in our hearts.

As most of our customers, supporters and friends know, Alhambra Productions strives to be at the forefront of technology. We believe that this blog was one of the first to be published by an Islamic media organization distributing products to benefit the community. Of course, we had a lot of inspiration by several Muslim bloggers including Sidi Faraz Rabbani of Seeker's Digest fame, Sidi AbdurRahman Squires of Mereislam fame and Sidi Mas'ud Khan of www.Masud.co.uk fame.

Besides this blog we have recently rolled out our podcast page, which also placed lectures by Shaykh Hamza Yusuf and Imam Zaid Shakir on iTunes. You can click here to launch iTunes to listen to our podcast. Or you can visit our podcast page to listen and download the lectures directly.

And now we have been invited by edegio to participate in their new 'listings from the edge' site. Edgeio is co-founded by Mike Arrington of Techcrunch fame. Techcrunch is a widely read blog about Web 2.0 technology. Alhambra Productions is proud to announce that we are the first Islamic organization to be listed on edgeio. What is edgeio? It is a new classifieds service that is currently in preview mode, invitation only. Here is an excerpt from their description:

edgeio dynamically organizes listings published from RSS enabled websites making them discoverable via the edgeio website and through an open set of web services.

In other words:

A blogger can publish an item for sale and have it listed on edgeio within a matter of seconds.

This complies with Alhambra Productions' vision: To distribute and disseminate our material to the world community so as to provide benefit and sustenance.

Imam Zaid has published a new article to address the cartoon controversy. He asks very pertinent questions including questions about our strategic vision and our ability to engage in meaningful proactive work.

Here is an excerpt:


"As individuals, we find it difficult to support the Prophet, peace and blessings of God upon him, by adorning ourselves with his lofty character traits, or reviving His Sunnah in our daily lives."
