Halal Films
The term ‘halal’ is usually translated as ‘lawful’ or ‘permissible’, but at a psychospiritual level, I have always understood it to mean ‘that which brings goodness into one’s life.’ The films documented below serve to inspire and uplift humanity by depicting ideals, conflicts and themes we each hope to enact. They do not have any overt sexual or violent imagery either. Most of these are adult-oriented and can be watched with older children or teenagers.
