A simple movie with a powerful message.  Beautifully done. Thank you for this truly inspirational movie.

i could picture this being made into a full length movie

[aljabery77]

i love rock bottom its my favorite

[islamicartstories]

it sounds very close to shiekh hamid hussain waqar's conversion story, getting involved in gang life, beating some kid to a pulp, getting thrown in jail, and finding his way back to Allah, his book is called over the wall. SubhanAllah very inspiring movie tho :)

Falling into the deepest pits of darkness...and then realizing where you really are... Keep it up :)

TAKBIRRRRRR!!!!! amazing film

[stp538]

Great movie Mashallah, it definitely hits the message home for those headed down this terrifying path. Good directing, looking forward to more videos with great messages. Thanks

[abasaleh14]

Hats off... Great movie...

[jmajesty91]

@S1lv3rdo7 ...But you sat and watched the entire thing, that says something. The movie has a universal message, all humans can relate to. I would recommend that you refrain from saying things that would offend people (i.e. "f***** towel head movie"). Treat others the way you wish to be treated. No one wants to be disrespected, so don't disrespect others.

[S1lv3rdo7]

@jmajesty91 Ya it says I was expecting a good movie and got a shitty ending. I would recommend that you let me practice my 1st amendment right to say what the fuck I want. Fuck towel head sand niggers KILL KILL KILL EM ALL!

[jmajesty91]

@S1lv3rdo7 "A shitty ending"? So, if they had the movie end with the Holy Bible instead of the Holy Quran it would have been a good ending, ha? You don't need to ask permission to practice your first amendment right buddy, do as you wish, it's America. And thank God it's America, because in America our Bill of Rights protect the people from racist, ignorant mentalities like your own. "KILL EM ALL!" Really? Please go educate yourself for the sake of the dignity of the American people.

[S1lv3rdo7]

@jmajesty91  No it would have been a good movie if it didn't involve religion at all. I didn't ask permission. I told you. Fuck Muslims.

[jmajesty91]

@S1lv3rdo7 Ignorance is an ugly thing. God Bless America - a nation that protects and appreciates people from all different faiths, cultures and backgrounds; a nation that promotes education and developing an awareness of the things which we do not know.

What a great movie. Although it's simple, but its effects are huge.

Thanks for sharing.

we need more videos like that , cuz our community is gettin worse , la deen wala salah people dont fast , especially in dearborn , its sad when u see peeople old people smoking hookah in the middle of daytime in ramadan , no body fears allah , and no body remembers allah only when they get in trouble , they remembers him and they call him , trust me alah is there always , and he is a fair judge ...

thanx ascent

i loved it i loved it great film couldnt get any better the ending was really sad though

[ascenttvproductions]

@fatu1231 Thank you for your feedback. The ending was actually really the beginning of his new-found life. The person whose story served as an inspiration for this movie said that at that moment he felt a sense of "release".

[cuzinhass]

Alhamdullah, great film. God bless you for this. Keep it up.

[lebanesebarbie32]

The end brought me to tears, keep up the good work, Allah ye7meekoun w youkabal minkoun InshAllah.

[lionsrthebest11]

lmaoooo this made me laugh. The worst display of acting i ever watched. It was bad even when their faces weren't on the screen!! (parents fighting in beginning). They could have made this film a lotttt better..... and whats up with the kids uncle? did he get raped or somthing lmao!?

[sukayna]

wow MashAllah! That was amazing. Keep up the good work. Its so nice to see Muslims doing great work with the intention of bettering our Ummah...May Allah bless you all and continue to give you the means to futher your mission.

[deadman2211]

R u kidding me? what didn't u like about the leader of the gangsters' acting? or jalal's dads' acting?

[YayaStudios17]

@deadman2211 Well the problem with all of the acting is that it felt scripted. The gangster's acting wasn't that bad but Jalal's father definitely felt scripted and very unnatural. The tone of his voice never really matched the scene's context and his eyes felt too focused on "how" to say the words instead of "feeling" them. I'm only trying to give constructive criticism so maybe you should watch the video again with a more critical view . :)

[ascenttvproductions]

@YayaStudios17 Thank you for your feedback. We truly appreciate constructive criticism. Hopefully, with everyone's feedback, we can make an even better production next time.

[YayaStudios17]

Overall an entertaining story, good execution, and decent editing. The acting on the other hand was weak by pretty much everyone, Jalal did a better job though. Anyway, keep up the great work and I'm looking forward for more inshaAllah :)
