Every Ramadhan TV3 will view the Jejak Rasul series where it sees travels across Muslim countries, displaying footsteps of the Prophets and his close friends and colleagues in their continuous pursuit of spreading Islam.
For this year, TV3 has made a slight change in their normal program with a sister version of Jejak Rasul called Jejak Rasul Assalam USA which depicts the lives of muslims in America. I think its so interesting to see how muslims practice in a very non-muslim environment.
Its not like i havent gone through similar experieces but these are stories of American-borned muslims.. I dont know, but in Malaysia. Islam is always portrayed with being Malay. Muslim is so synonimous with Malays or Melayu in Malaysia that when someone comes and ridicules Islam, orang Melayu yang bertempik sakan, defending it although most of the time they are protecting Melayu the race rather then Islam the religion. Malays and Muslims are so much connected that when a Malay is seen doing something bad.. Islam is whats deemed as imperfect.
so its interesting to see muslims in a different light, different settings, somewhat more universal and not stereotyped. To see the challenges these people face and the things they do in the name of Islam.
so dont miss it.. its aired every Saturday and Sunday 5-5.30 pm. ( Altho so far ive only been able to watch it in between menggoreng ayam or mengacau lauk :-p)
