One Video a Week

Assalamualaikum,

I visited the IIUM Research, Invention and Inovation Exhibition (IRIEE) 2012 this past few days. Of course my area of interest was healthcare and science and technology, but I wondered around the exhibition hall looking at research posters from other areas as well. One particular poster caught my attention. I forgot which Kulliyyah it belonged to, but it was a study to see if watching Islamic videos on YouTube would positively influence people who watch it. 

Students were asked to watch one Islamic video a week for 10 weeks, and at the end they were asked if they felt like they were better Muslims because of the videos. Interestingly about 80% of participants said yes. 

So here's my challenge/advice to everyone including myself. Try watching at least one Islamic video a week. And when you feel like you have more time, or you are willing to give a little extra effort, try a few videos a week, eventually one a day. Or even more than one a day. Then evaluate yourself after about a month or two. See if you feel like you are a better Muslim.

Challenge accepted?
