Alif is a battlefield of ideas where Ulema-e-deen sit face to face with academics, politicians, intellectuals and experts from various fields to discuss religious, political and social issues.
Traditionally, religious programs on television in Pakistan were nothing but radio shows with a face. They featured a lone-expert addressing the audience in a long monologue. Devoid of any counter argument, such programming was directed towards converting the already converted. Alif was perceived as a multi-perspective Islamic program where different “and often conflicting” ideas could be expressed on one table. It is a continuation of the same Islamic discourse that started off in the Grand mosque of Cordoba during the 9th century A.D.
From “September 11 and its Aftermath on the Muslim World” to “The Status and Rights of an Illegitimate Child in Islam” Alif has covered a wide spectrum of issues bringing famous personalities like Samina Peerzada “Actress”, Ali Azmat “Singer”, Sheema Kirmani “Classical Dancer” and Ayaz Amir “Journalist”, face to face with Islamic scholars like Dr. Israr Ahmed, Mufti Muneeb-ur-Rehman and Javaid Ahmed Ghamdi.
The Alif team constantly seeks dynamic scholars, intellectuals and experts to address various social, political and religious issues. If you have an idea that you think would make a good episode and believe you can be on our panel, contact us with your idea. Do send a copy of your resume as well.
