Halal Series: A Breath of Fresh Air A Muslim-crafted halal series offers a timely and much-needed perspective amidst the UK's complex social landscape. By presenting authentic narratives of Muslim lives, it challenges pervasive stereotypes and fosters empathy. The series deftly explores themes of faith, family, and identity, resonating with audiences on a profound level. Its portrayal of diverse Muslim experiences contributes to a more inclusive and understanding society. In an era marked by division and misinformation, this series emerges as a powerful tool for promoting unity and respect. It's a testament to the richness of Muslim culture and a vital contribution to the ongoing dialogue about identity and belonging.

Some great acting talent here, including isiah semple, otilia de roya, ali barazi, melly myer and charlotte reidie.

Mohamed hijab, whose first acting role this is turns in a good performance and grounds the show with a relatable muslim protagonist.

Nice editing here also, good transitions.

My only gripe is the dead air between dialog, they could've made it feel more naturalistic with a steadier cadence. That and maybe the consistency of the performance where either it was all naturalistic or all stage like and dramatic. I think since mohamed hijabs sensibilities lay more in indie and naturalistic that the characters like the female m15 agent and ball busting school principle should bring their delivery to that level, so less chewing the scene and more natural.

The third episode was brilliant, best of the bunch and left me wanting a season 2.

The daily struggles of ethnic minorities and especially Muslims living in the west. As the prophet pbuh narrated 'A time of patience will come to people in which adhering to ones religion is like grasping a hot coal'. Hear the true reality from those living it. Islam is surrender and submission to the most high (Allah) and Muslims do not bow down or submit to anything else or anyone. Justice is an important theme. It is with Justice that true peace would prevail. How can you achieve this? It's not by subjective ideas, but revelation from the most high This is the reality and the story of a people you will not hear from mainstream media. Fantastic work.

Thank you for making this show, I enjoyed watching it with my husband.

A great effort has been made by Mr Mohammad Hijab and the whole team that deserves our appreciation as viewers who wants to see a good quality, meaningful and important content.

I have so much respect for this work and the braveness that I believe was there from the beginning, behind the scenes; to make "Burning Hands" come to life.

Lastly, as a Muslim myself this made me feel proud too; please continue the great work and telling the story from our point of view , because Muslims too matter to have their own content and Media is a great platform to share these stories & I must say Amira is Cool :) thank you for the representation of strong solid Muslim woman.

May Allah bless the whole team.

Ps: my Husband and I are eagerly waiting for season 2. :)
