Change of Heart

peace this film, is a great film that has a very important message that is quite controversial now a days. i highly suggest everyone watches it. very goof film, and great moral to it. its a movie for every Islamic couple. especially with the influences of the western world in today's society. and the pressure the Muslim youth have to deal with because the change in environment. its a great lesson for all young men and women. it highlights the influences of "cultural" thought when it comes to marriage, and ow detrimental it can be on a couple.it also bring light upon how the youth should look after their actions carefully as to not regret them in the long run. all in all its a must watch!

This short movie is for every Muslim who is about to get married in Western world and learn to drive there marriage before it drives into ground, great sensitive topic for youth both girl and boy - as everyone carries the past with them.

This Movie is for those who are thinking about repenting after being non practicing Muslim and realize the true path once you watch this video it will make you think ALLAH is most forgiving but your actions of past does come back to you as human beings well are human beings....

Great topic to tackle watch and understand!

I would rate this movie must watch for western Muslim youth.

This short film is very real, practical, to the point, and carries good vibe. Though it is performed by (what it seems to be) mostly Muslim people, and they use certain common words like (Alhamdulillah = All praise is for God Almighty; by the way, if you're not familiar with certain words, simply google it, that's what I did);

Anyway, the theme is very universal; and the message is very practical and beneficial for those who wants to move on for a better future. Awesome Job! I really wish Hollywood would make movies with similar theme for a change, tired of watching "unfaithful"s; perhaps the world would be a better place.

"Change of Heart" deals with an extremely timely topic that may be more pertinent for Islamic Reverts or Muslims in America. Cultural biases may make it a more difficult sell outside of America but the film is worthy of further discussion.

Noor, the film's main character has to come to grips with his 'unawareness' of his wife Marayam's prior history before accepting Islam. This is a situation I am sure some of us may have to deal with. He applies the typical 'male chauvinistic' view, what was wrong for him is valued differently from what may have been wrong for her.

I like the film's handling of the subject. A more tolerant Islamic culture is developing here in America and this short story shows a glimpse of it.

There is a message the film portrays that when it comes to men and women, Allah (SWT) judges and forgives the same.

Sometimes, as men, we lose sight of this.

This short film delves into the issues of hypocrisy and double standards, while handling the matter deftly. I enjoyed the film, and encourage others to view it (it IS on YouTube).

That said, it was not without flaws. The pacing felt a tad off and a bit could have been trimmed, but that's a minor matter. My biggest complaint was that during the key sequence in the last act, they didn't go far enough, in my mind, towards pointing out the double-standards. They raise the issue at least twice, but don't resolve that particular thread--for me, at least.

The actors and production values are quite good. "Change of Heart" is relevant to almost any relationship, not just a Muslim one, though that appears to be the target audience. Definitely worth your time to watch, and probably even more worth your time to discuss!
