Build the Leaders of Tomorrow

Assalaamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,

The leaders of tomorrow are the youth of today. But, unfortunately the youth of today are watching immoral entertainment that is corrupting their hearts and minds. We at Studio AYU are striving to give Muslim children Islamic alternatives to watch. The response we’ve gotten so far from The Muslims Cartoon: Episode 1 and The Muslims Comic: Volume 1 has been amazing. There aren't many other exciting Islamic cartoons like this one with a good story and a moral message. Our Muslim children deserve better, and we’re working to do our small part to give them just that, Insha' Allah. We invite you all to share in this noble cause for the betterment of the ummah.

What is ‘The Muslims’ Cartoon?

The Muslims cartoon is a fun show about a 7-year old boy named Hani Muslim, his 5-year old sister Huda Muslim, and their loving parents. Hani, Huda and their friends strive to be the best Muslims they can be, but stumble along the way and Alhamdulilah they have help correcting their mistakes. This presents a perfect opportunity for children to learn everyday Islamic lessons through them.

What We Need & What You Get

Our aim is to raise $20,000 to fund our production costs to produce 6 new episodes based on the chapters from the comic, which includes the following:

  • Character design

  • Script editing

  • Story-boarding

  • Animation

  • Sound effects

Considering the cost of producing a 5-minute episode of Peppa Pig costs around $44,000, our goal of $20,000 is truly a humble one. How we are able to still manage is by doing all the production ourselves.

We will be releasing the episodes as they finish between April and September 2019, Insha Allah.

Sponsorship

Please contact us by email (admin@themuslimscomic.com) if you’re interested in sponsoring our episodes with your halaal brand.

An Ongoing Charity

With your help, we can make this possible Insha' Allah. If you like our ideas, and what you’ve seen here, then please donate, and share this webpage. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “When a man dies, his good deeds come to an end except three: ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge and a righteous son who will pray for him.” Narrated by Muslim, 3084.

This will be an ongoing charity because your donation will be of benefit to every child that sees it, even after you die. The goal of the show is to instill Islamic values to the children, which would Insha' Allah add to their righteousness.

Risks & Challenges

We've already successfully produced the first cartoon episode along with a graphic novel available for purchase here. By Allah's will this project will be completed and your hard earned money will be a benefit for those who watch it for years to come.

Other Ways You Can Help

You can help by sharing this with your friends and family. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter, and give us your feedback. And most important of all, make lots and lots of duaa for us and other similar projects! Jazakumullahu Khayran!

Episode Update 2

As we await the public release of the episode in 2 weeks, we'd like to share with our supporters some of our production process. In addition to the new style of animation that we are using, we are also following a narrator style of story telling, similar to how a parent would read their child a bedtime story. With this narrator style, all voices are voiced by the narrator and you and your children will be able to enjoy the episode either in video or audio form. Please enjoy this short clip from the final production. The public release of the episode will be on Wednesday, May 15th.
