Opposition to ITV

#52: - Saifullah 

I have not said that caroons, music and intermingling is acceptable. That is wrong. Anything against the Shariah is wrong. If ITV does any of these that ITV must rightly be criticised for that. What I am saying is lets debate the issues and lets give specific examples of wrong doing and allow ITV to correct the problems. ITV is not perfect. But ITV is not Shaytaan TV. I do not agree with music on some of the adverts. I will look into it. I would appreciate constructive criticism to help us continually improve the channel.

I personally do not watch much TV. I think people should think for themselves and rather read books especially the Quran and Hadith literature and also read about the Seerah of our Beloved Nabi ( SAW ). Did anyone ask why someone would make so much effort over a period of 10 years to create an "Islamic TV" station just to earn the displeasure of Allah (SWT) ? It does not make sense. My intention was to earn the pleasure of Allah (SWT). ITV has not made any profits over the past 10 years ( with the exeception of this Ramadaan where we may have a small surplus, InshaAllah ). ITV is a non-profit Foundation.

CHANGE YOUR TV STATION'S NAME TO SHAITAAN TV. IT IS MORE APPROPRIATE
ISLAM IS AGAINST PICTURE MAKING AND THAT IS WHAT TV IS - ELECTRONIC PICTURE MAKING. DON'T JUSTIFY WRONG. JUSTIFYING HARAAM IS TENTAMOUNT TO KUFR. MAY ALLAH SAVE US ALL FEIZAL ALLI JOHANNESBURG

WHEN ALL THOSE ENTERING WONT GET EFFECTED WITH THE EVIL AROUND . DONT YOU FERA ALLAH . IS THERE NO GRAVEFOR YOU . DO YOU WANT TO DESTROY ISLAM

@Dr Adam.

Just some advice from a sincere fellow muslim. Look after you own luggage before taking on responsibility for others. No matter how fabulously good our intentions maybe. If there is even a little haraam/sin/wrong that's taking place on our strength - we must LEAVE IT ALONE. We can't worry about looking after other peoples imaan and islaam and obliterate + compromise our own. On your strength, because of what YOU doing muslims will watch ITV, commit zina of their minds and hearts, listen to music, fanatise about apa's and moulana's all in the name of ISLAAM!

IS IT WORTH IT???????????

Just ask yourself a simple question... IF RASOOLULLAH SALALLAHU-ALAIHI-WASALLAM WAS ALIVE, WOULD HE APPROVE OF THIS?

Step out of it bro, before its too late. Anyone can drop dead at any time, how would you feel if you had to die while you're on itv chatting with ghair mahrams and music in the background?

#57: - Saifullah Wa-Alaikum Salaam.

Thank you for providing some specifics. Please answer the following questions:

a)    Do you have a TV?

b)    Which channels do you have?

c)    Did you see the program yourself or are you relying on heresay evidence?

d)   If your answer to the first question is Yes it also means that you Have DSTV as well to be able to see ITV.

e)   If you do not have a TV and DSTV then you cannot comment. Then your position is consistent with the principle you are taking that TV is Haraam.

f)  If you have seen ITV yourself then you will reaslise that the description which you have given is not accurate. Please do not attack people unless you have first seen the channel and not only one programme but a selection of programs.

g)  Besides the above points I wish to answer to your questions which you raise as follows:

1       You are correct that there should be no intermingling of male and female at an Islamic Function. I apologise for this.

2       There are cartoons on ITV. Have you seen the cartoons yourself. They do not depict Islam in a negative way. Remember I have told you that ITV is the lesser of two evils. If you do not like it please do not watch it. Some people take the view that all TV is haraam ( I cannot debate that. But if that is the case then simply stay away from it. But do not be hypocritical and have a TV in your home and watch all the other channels and then condemn ITV as being "Shaytaan TV"

3     There should be no music. I apologise for that. I do not manage the day to day running of ITV. I will discuss this with people who manage ITV and give you feedback when such is available.

4     In regard to the comments by the Jamiat. I would appreciate more details. The facts do not appear accurate. I know it is difficult for the Jamiat to provide details since they are relyin on heresay evidence not having seen ITV so being unable to make informed comment on the issue.

5     In regard to Muslims Got Talent I cannot comment about what happens on Facebook. Facebook is not part of ITV and I do not visit Facebook. ITV cannot be held reponsible for anything that happens on Facebook.

Shukran

#53: Mohamed Adam - ITV - Re: Saifullah

Is any director , ulema and other staff receiving any renumeration like wages and salaries.

if no one is benefitting by even employment then can we say non-profit, Non-profit organisations in the kuffar terminology is some stupid Companies Act Creation where profits are not shared or disbursed but accumalated to go back in the system. However wages and salaries are 'DRAWN' . People definately benefit, the guys behind the system . Just like SANHA.

#58: LET TRUTH PREVAIL -  Thanks for your advice.

#68: ULEMA CHECK - Re: Re: Saifullah No director gets a salary. I have never received any payment from ITV. Most guests are volunteers on ITV especially the Ulema. We do have a full time staff complement of who are underpaid compared to all other TV channels in the world. I pray that Allah (SWT) rewards them in this world and the next for their dedication to the Deen.

#70: Mohamed Adam ITV - Re: Re: Re: Saifullah Invitation to visit offices of ITV.

You are welcome to visit the offices of ITV and see how we operate.

WHETHER THE BROTHER SIFULLAH WATCHES OR DOESN'T WATCH TV, OWNS OR DON'T OWN A TV. ITV AND ALL TV WILL REMAIN HARAAM. ITV IS RUN AS AN ISLAMIC TV CHANNEL AND THIS IS THE PROBLEM. DON'T MESS WITH THE DEEN WHEN THE DEEN CLEARLY MAKES TELEVISION HARAAM. CHANGE YOUR TV STATIONS NAME. IT IS THE DUTY OF THE ULAMA TO DEFEND THE DEEN AGAINST PEOPLE WHO TARNISHES THE DEEN AND JUSTIFY HARAAM USING THE DEEN.  ITV MUST CHANGE THERE NAME. PERIOD. YES MANY PEOPLE DO WATCH TELEVISION BUT THEY KNOW AND ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR WRONG WHICH WILL INSHA-ALLAH LEAD THEM TO MAKE TAUBAH. BUT IF WE DONT SEE IT AS WRONG HOW ARE WE GOING TO MAKE TAUBAH. FEIZAL ALLI JOHANNESBURG
