Khuda Ke Liye

Khuda Ke Liye is like an eye opener of sorts for many people(across various religions and continents).

I saw this movie a fortnight ago and since then the movie is revolving at the back of my mind. It has left such an impression that no movie has done till date. Cinema is an art which mirrors the society as it is. Being an Indian, after watching this movie, I understood a lot about Pakistan and the culture there. The movie depicts the story of two brothers from Lahore, whose lives are catapulted through circumstances.

Mansoor is the elder brother, who is studying music in Chicago and is a victim of the haters of Muslim community, thinking that every Muslim is a terrorist. Sarmad, the younger one is influenced by an orthodox Mulla to follow Islam like the QURAN says, by growing beard, dressing in huliya and stuff..

The movie features a performance by Naseerudin Shah in the role Maulana Wali, who explains Islam as a religion and what a true Muslim should do instead of killing each other in the name if Jihad.

This movie is a must watch for every Muslim, as it can show the correct path to all the confused Muslim youth..Also this movie is a must watch for every Indian, as this would change our perspective towards the Pakistani society. Also every westerner should watch this film before concluding that every Muslim is a terrorist. In short, this film is so huge on humanitarian grounds, that no film ever can reach the heights that this has reached.

Khuda ke liye(For God's sake)..do not miss Khuda ke liye.

May the almighty bless this world with peace and solace.

- To clarify for all the readers, the QURAN DOES NOT say anything like that... never in the Quran do you find things like 'grow beard' or any such thing. That maulana tahiri makes him believe it is written in Quran bcoz the guy Sarmad doesn't know the QURAN himself...

QURAN is as good a book as other meaningful books are... just read it to know it.. and you'll be left with no confusion and misunderstanding...

Kamran,

I am sorry about Quran. As you can understand,this clearly happened due to my lack of knowledge. But my intentions are not to show my disrespect towards the scripture. Instead, my intentions were speaking against the Mulla.

I am extremely sorry for the confusion...
