The Film “Your mother! Your mother! Your mother!" & Cultural Production

About this lecture

In this khutbah, the speaker reflects on the Islamic framework for cultural production and leisure, inspired by the recent film *"Your Mother, Your Mother, Your Mother."* Drawing on Quranic verses, hadith, and examples from Islamic history — including the Prophet's ﷺ guidance to the poet Hassan ibn Thabit — he outlines practical, Shari'ah-grounded principles for Muslim artists, content creators, and filmmakers. Key themes include the prohibition against mocking the sacred, the axiom that means must align with ends, and the importance of consulting qualified scholars of Islamic law before engaging in public cultural work.
