Join us in supporting the production of this all new feature film for Muslim children.


Super Hijabi - is a revolutionary new approach to entertainment for Muslim children! 

When was the last time you watched a movie where the lead character was a young Muslim girl?

Muslim parents around the world have been asking "Why aren’t there more Muslim movies and TV shows for my children?" 

We heard you and here we are, with a brand new Feature Film - Super Hijabi!

​About the Movie

When a 10-year old tech genius with parents on the brink of divorce discovers thieves stole the family safe, she puts her skills to the test to reclaim the safe before the financial stress causes her parents to call it quits.

Why is Super Hijabi Important?

Children are hugely influenced by superhero characters on TV. Muslims unfortunately do not have a major media powerhouse showcasing our own heroes.

Many of our children suffer with an identity crisis because they rarely see positive Muslim role models in the media. 

Parents constantly make dua, "If only there were something better for my child to watch."

With Super Hijabi, two of the most important forces in Muslim media join hands to demonstrate what can be achieved when Muslims cooperate in the media.

Boonaa Mohammed is the founder of Safina Media, an award winning Muslim Production company. He has written and produced 5 feature films over the last 6 years.

MuslimKids.TV is the world’s leading streaming services for Muslim families with a library of over 5,000 videos.

With the launch of Super Hijabi on MuslimKids.TV, Muslim families finally have a place their children can watch safe content that will build their love of Islam and make them proud to be Muslim.

WE CAN’T DO THIS ALONE!

With your help and support, we can create a powerful environment that will continually provide YOU the best educational resources for your child.

Your support is not a donation but a way you can provide your children with the best educational entertainment they deserve!

With your support, you will receive access to MuslimKids.TV to watch Super Hijabi along with 1,000s of other shows and movies that celebrate Islamic culture, history and values.

About Muslim Kids TV

Muslim Kids TV is the world’s leading streaming service for Muslim children. Often referred to as the “Netflix” for Muslim children, we offer thousands of high-quality children’s cartoons, videos, games, and more! If you are looking for peace-of-mind as a parent when it comes to what your children are doing online, MuslimKids.TV is exactly what you have been looking for!

MuslimKids.TV was founded in North America by a husband and wife team, Michael (AbdurRahman) Milo and Flordeliza (Aisha) Dayrit. Both are Muslim reverts and together they have raised 4 children.

MuslimKids.TV was born out of the need to provide all children access to modern digital media resources that entertain and engage children while building their love of Islam.

The Challenges We Are Facing:

Producing a feature film is expensive.

Muslim writers and directors do not have access to the film studios and big budgets since many of us do not want to compromise Islamic values.

We do not think children's movies should glorify violence, objectify women and girls, introduce dating, drinking and other vices to children.

Few, if any, Muslim countries or Islamic waqaf fund educational and cultural movies for children.

This makes it very difficult for us to make the movies you want your children to watch.

That is why we need your help today.
Our goal is to have 1,000 people contribute $100

Why Support Super Hijabi?

This movie will:

  • Build a positive Muslim identity, one that your child is proud of!
  • Provide Muslim role models and characters just like your children who are smart, brave, creative, and most of all, heroes that make the world a better place.
  • Help you with the resources you need to entertain your child.

What Makes This Movie Different?

  • When was the last time you watched a movie whose lead character was a young Muslim girl?
  • When was the last time you saw a Muslim main character who is a child genius and inventor.

Isn't it about time we all pitch in to help tell Muslim stories? Let's show Hollywood that we have what it takes to bring great, clean and intelligent movies to viewers around the world.
