MashaaAllah for inspiring the kids! =)
But to be honest, I was a little surprised at this because I thought the majority of scholars would at least frown upon the use of fake beards and such things that might come under altering the creation of Allah swt.
Am I mistaken?

bismillah. i’m sure there was good in it, because i could see such positive reactions from the shuyukh, and from the people who have posted here. personally i would have liked it if zakir naik’s son (right?) had smiled. his father/dr. naik has a good habit of smiling to encourage people to agree with him. i had to smile at the portrayal of saleem al-amry. the split screen and distinctive garb made that mini-shaykh the most impressive.
but it made me wonder. if we were watching young christian children re-enact a scene of Essa alayhis salam teaching on the mount — would we find it charming? if we were watching young shia children re-enact some less-violent scene from karbala — would we find it tasteful? those are the two religious traditions that i know if, christianity and the shia, who regularly use plays and reenactments, though they prefer very emotional scenes.
mashaAllah, young children are certainly not graven images (even the ones who were not smiling) but it seems to me like a step in that direction.

Masha’Allah…really funny!
This is really well organized and entertaining aswell!
Its a great idea to keep the youths actively involved in the community and in Islam. Futhermore, it is a great way to introduce a pathway for these children to keep the desire or learning Islam or having the desire to become leaders in this Ummah.

no, you are not. I’m amazed with the way we have started to perceive Islam…there is something seriously wrong with all of this! seriously wrong !
Amad
May 9, 2008 at 9:03 AM
Ashraf, why don’t you tell us what is seriously wrong with this? And please provide your evidence too?
The changing of creation refers to such things as tatoos, eyebrow plucking, beautification plastic surgery, etc. It has nothing to do with wearing fake beards. I think the shayookh at the conference were in a better position to discern right from wrong if indeed something was unIslamic about this. But feel free to provide your point of view backed by Islamic texts.

salaamz,
im sorry, but Shaykh Ahmad Deedat took it. His impersonation was the hardest to do, but he pulled it off perfectly
Besides…Shaykh Ahmad Deedat is a classic

LOL.. I was there for the conference and we were all laughing so much while watching it. As soon as a new kid came on stage everybody would turn around and look at the one being parodied. Al-Hamdulillaah they were laughing more than anybody.
I freaked out in the morning seeing the kids preparing, as I walked into the rooms and saw a person that was obviously a minor, yet he had a full grown beard! I just froze looking at him until he came and spoke to me, and I realised that it was a costume for their play. They sure looked so realistic.
May Allaah reward the organisers of that great conference with the best of rewards!

Assalamu’alaikum!
I just came across this. I saw this whole thing live at the Peace Conference. And I know some of the kids and their teachers too. Will make sure they read this page. May Allah make our children walk in foot steps of the righteous.
wassalam
PS: Heard DZN’s organizing another conference (this time in urdu, Aman Conference). I hope they’ve got more of this stuff. Would sure love to see a mini-me Dr. Israr Ahmed.
