The modern home is not complete without a television at the center of family entertainment. Finding Halal TV Shows for Muslim families is becoming an uphill battle since the widespread availability of online streaming services. To find Muslim streaming services, as an alternative to Netflix, that provide Halal TV shows can be hard, if you don’t know where to start. In this article, we list Muslim streaming services suitable for the Muslim homes.
Over the course of time, Western media is well known for advocating values different than those we practice in the Muslim world, sometimes subtly while in other cases, openly. Here are the most important reasons Netflix can be an indecency in the Muslim household system.
Despite the fact that the whole world lauds the brand for its enormity, it is true that Netflix certainly does not meet the criteria of halal media or good family content. Although Netflix has acquired much religious and cultural content from all around the world, it only makes a small part of the larger portion that it streams. Hence, making it a non-Islamic oriented streaming platform.
Netflix shows are notorious for their wrong portrayal of other cultures and beliefs. The company has created thousands of controversies through its misrepresentations of other cultures via its shows. An adult can filter these kinds of subtle misrepresentations and controversies but a young mind can be misled through these.
In a modern Muslim household, having Netflix around youngsters can cast devastating impacts on the young developing minds. In other words, the false representation of a Muslim culture may seem legit and halal to your minors. Parents who are more concerned about the upbringing of their kids may want to keep them from the indecencies of Netflix.
Not to forget that in most shows, Netflix has represented Muslims as violent. The concept threatens the very basic idea of Islam. We Muslims know that Quran and Shariah teach us peace and understanding of even those who oppose us. Netflix’s representation of Muslims, their culture, and norms are enough to build a case that how the streaming platform is insinuating Islamophobia in a subtle way.
Netflix produces content mainly aspire by Westerners and their so-called pop culture. A Muslim must be aware of the fact that in Islam, the Halal and Haram govern every aspect of our lives and some of the streaming Western dramas and movies do not align with Islamic morals. A few major red flags for us Muslims, watching Netflix, are language, clothing of, especially, a female character, as well as male characters in shows, and other inappropriate scenes of intimacy.
Everything that is shown in these shows is considered the Westerners’ norms but compared to the teachings of Islam, they fall short in modesty and respect. These factors openly defy the teachings of Islam. In other words, if Islam teaches us to dress modestly, Netflix promotes revealing cloth as emerging fashion.
Where Islam tells us to be more respectful and humble in our speech, Netflix promotes explicit vulgarity of language and speech. The music collection used in Netflix is also a major concern for the integrity of modern Muslim households. A Muslim household must be built on the true essence of Islam. It must not only practice the Divine teachings but also actively make an effort to protect these practices from those who attack them.
Now that we have a clear idea of how streaming platforms like Netflix and many others are more indecent than they seem, the question is, What are the alternatives to these platforms? Are there any Muslim streaming platforms that provide entertainment and Islamic teaching at the same time? Fortunately, the answer is, Yes!
Given that emerging technological trend, one can not deny or underestimate the importance of technology, social media, and surely of these streaming platforms. In competition to Netflix, Amazon Prime Videos, and other non-Islamic streaming platforms, the Muslim world has created its own video-on-demand streaming platforms. These platforms are the result of the long hard work backed up by the vision of promoting Islamic teachings to youths and adults alike. They provide you with a modest content pack that offers entertainment, knowledge, and guidance all in one place.
Here is the list of top Muslim streaming platforms that are best fits your all needs for family content.
