Is your income halal? (Part 2) - Amazing Videos!

Came across these awesome set of TV commercials asking the exact same question asked in yesterday's post: “Is your income halal?!”

The TV commercials, recently debuted in major Middle-eastern channels, depict different scenarios which make your income non-halaal, and then cleverly interprets the Prophetic saying "hellfire is more deserving of every flesh which has been nourished through that which is unlawful” by showing fire burning on the faces of those you feed non-halal income. Scary but sooo visual and makes one think!

Although the commercials are in Arabic, yet they are mostly self explanatory. I’ve added some titles/sub-headings to help you understand the gist of what's going on. The last part of each video asks "Is your income halal?"

TV Commercial 1 - Accepting Bribery at work

 

 

TV Commercial 2 - A Doctor at his private clinic who over-prescribes tests/x-rays/medicines for his patients so he earns more money

 

TV Commercial 3 - A teacher who simply sits in front of her class and does not teach them anything, but sits and waits for the bell to ring so she can sign off and go home.


TV Commercial 4 - Arriving  late at work but having your friend sign you in early!

 

TV Commercial 5 - Waking up late and making up lies as excuses for not coming in!


TV Commercial 6 - A man having trouble with rent/bills/expenses calls his employer who hasn't paid him for 2 months, the employer gives him the excuse that he has no money even though he's having a lavish dinner with his family!

 

yup, i know..something to think about..."Is your income halal?" (lol sorry if this questions starts haunting you! But we need to think about this stuff!).

More posts coming up..(yup, we're not done yet..lol)
