Masha-Allaah, excellent pictures, very insightful.

We must remember our brothers and sisters in our dua's and I ask that Allaah make their ordeal which they are being subjected to, easy for them and shower them with mercy and peace. Ameen


Was-salaamu'alaikum,

Wonderfully made. A compelling story of hope and beauty on a road of suffering. The use of technology is truly innovative.

Very well made slideshow. Small correction though: The titles for Slides # 6 and # 7 should be exchanged. The Gold Dome is NOT Masjid Al-Aqsa - but it is the "Dome of the Rock" and the older building, with the Arches, is actually Masjid Al-Aqsa. It's a common mistake for Muslims to make, because we see many pictures of the Dome of the Rock, and mistakenly think that it is Masjid Al-Aqsa, when in fact it is across from Masjid Al-Aqsa.

Somehow this format brings it even closer than a film would... with the voice and the measured slides, allowing the viewer to take it all in in quieter doses. Very natural narration, real and poignant without being overbearing, in fact very positive and properly respectful, even modestly awed. I hope Illume supports more "documents" of this kind... Jazakallah.

May Allah SWT make their pain go away and may their rise to Jannah be swift. Its really a beautiful place. They will never be able to bomb the place enough to take the beauty away because the beauty of the place was never superficial. May Allah SWT, the all merciful, the compassionate, the knower, the nurturer, give them and all Muslims around the world peace.
