As Salam Alaykoum Dear Friends and Supporters,

DISCLAIMER 1: This campaign is for visionaries only. 

DISCLAIMER 2: This is not a campaign based on emotional feelings but for members of the Ummah who are tired to see the same things happening every year and want to support long terms visionary projects with proven track records of success and a powerful impact around the world.

HISTORY: Halis Media is a French/Malaysian media production & event company based in Türkiye & Malaysia. Halis Media was just an idea in 2012 after the Shahada of former singer, songwriter and international French reporter Julien Drolon who started to produce a documentary about the legitimacy of the Hijab in South East Asia: The Voice Of The Veil. In 2016, Julien partnered with his Malaysian wife, a former opera, classical & jazz singer and event organiser for Petronas, Zara Shafie to give life to Halis Media and produce FREEDOM, the first documentary film featuring 50 converts from 25 countries in 15 languages. Following the success of the world screening tour of FREEDOM in 10 countries across 22 cities, Halis Media launched its second brand: New Muslim World Conference 2018 in UK, followed by the New Muslim World Digital Conference 2019 online.

In 2020, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Halis Media had to cancel its New Muslim World Conference 2020 in Kuala Lumpur and then made its Hijrah to Türkiye to continue its mission. In 2021, Julien & Zara decided to take a break to focus their attention on their inner spiritual growth which they neglected during all those years of service to the Ummah.

In 2022, Halis Media came back stronger with new projects including THE Last Hope, a new documentary film about the positive impact that Prophet Muhammad SAW has in the lives of converts from around the world.

Halis Media is globally known as a brand for its pioneering projects in media production, world events, conferences, inspiring podcasts and more.

VISION: To introduce the pure message of Islam to the world through the most innovative media platforms.

MISSION: Produce state of the art media content and world class events to feature our islamic values in multiple languages to a global audience.
