  • Hidden Heart is the work of filmmaker Zara Afzal and producer Christopher Hird (Battle for Barking, Inside the Saudi Kingdom, The End of the Line). It chronicles the lives and travails, the joys and sorrows of muslim women who find love outside their own culture or faith.
    In finding love they face challenges to their idea of community and oftentimes ostracism from those closest to them.
    The film explores a new vision of cultural identity, defying the notion of a so-called 'clash of cultures' and challenging barriers to understanding between different communities. Although focussing on the lives of British men and women, the film will strike a chord with any and all of those around the world living in a tight-knit community, under pressure to maintain their identity.
    Hidden Heart is currently in production, with completion expected later in 2014.
    Real Love dives into the world of love, dating and relationships in all its many shapes. Whether you like documentaries, reality TV shows, or classic films, Real Love delivers your weekly dose of snuggles and affection.

    whats halal is halal and whats haram is haram

      Absolutely... But the imam and the scholar interviewed do not think so!? I can not believe that they suggested that this religious ruling could be "reformed" for the benefit of the society! Islam is not a toy that you can play with! We know what is halal and what is haram. (It is not for a believing man or woman-when Allah and His Messenger decree a matter-to have any other choice in that matter. Indeed, whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger has clearly gone ˹far˺ astray. Ahzab 36)

      Many "Scholar for dollars" exist, having a beard doesn't mean anything. Either you align within the boundaries of Islam or you don't, any "Scholar" that goes against Qur'an and sunnah is a fraud and to be rejected immediately.

      To me that is like discriminating other people.
      How can one say another person is forbidden.. haram.
      Its how wars are made.
      These who follow their heart are brave souls. I was one of them😊

    This ‘documentary’ falls very short of explaining the actual Muslim principles of marriage and the long term impact on family life and Muslim society it brings. Marriage is not just about two people falling in love. And it is not the same as the ridiculous cultural practices that are imposed by some people upon their kids in the name of religion. What was depicted in this film was a cultural gap between parents and their daughters. Not a religious conflict. There are deep and valuable reasons for marrying within the faith. As someone who went through this exact experience I can tell you that if you hold dear to Islamic principles in your heart, then the outcome of a ‘mixed’ religious marriage will never bring contentment in this life nor the hereafter. Of course if you don’t truly value or adhere to Islamic principles then you will think you have ‘won’. At least in this world. I will also add that marriage between different cultures and ethnic groups is all perfectly acceptable within Islam. However the foundation of religion has to be the same.

      Islam says women are half knowledge, so you proved right, by choosing false prophet mohemmed religion..
      In India 8 lakhs muslims girls married non muslims boys, and numbers is growing very fast, muslims mufti’s and mullahs worried about this numbers…
      Because this muslims girls got full knowledge about Islam they’re leaving Islam..

    The concept of marriage in Islam (unfortunately which has been forgotten by muslims in the muslim countries) is not only to fulfill your sexual desires but to leave behind a progeny which is beneficial to the Religion of Islam and the society in general. Mother plays a vital role in the upbringing of Children and therefore the education of Women is more important in Islam then that of men since Women are the leaders who form the tomorrow's society. In short, everything in Islam , even marraige, revolves around the promotion and well-being of Islam.

    Unfortunately, these families remained isolated in Britain and could not pass their religious conviction to their kids. Those kids are shaped by the British society and education system rather than Islamic values. If those families were able to build Islamic communities, they would not push their daughters marry their cousins as a safe option. If those daughters had strong faith, they would not even consider non-Muslims as potential husbands.

    Islam allows marriage between different race but religion has to be the same with the exception of Christan/Jews for Muslim men..there's no justification for marrying outside the faith as it brings no benefit in the hereafter

    I can see it is not easy for Asian or Arab muslim or even eastern Christians community for that matter to adapt and tackle issues in the western world, issue such as marriage. My recommendations is for parents to be patients, understanding and not forceful. We choose to bring them to that world and we need to learn and adapt on how to deal with it. No one says that you need to give up your values, but prepare yourself(as parents) and concerned individuals in that affected circle to these challenges before bring them to that reality. God bless you all 🙏🙏🌷Abdulhameed from Saudi Arabia

    My choice is to love and accept our children regardless if they choose to be religious or not. That’s up to every individual. A spiritual path is a private matter and only the free can find true faith as every individual must make their own unique experiences in order to grow spiritually. Brainwashing one’s children is shameful because it disables their free decision making abilities in their future lives. May they find a happy life and true faith within and an understanding of the self. May they not be suppressed by a fearful guilt plagued judgmental society.

    20😊23 Uk 🇬🇧 England Things have to change for the future More doors need to be open Muslim women should have the opportunity to marry Englishman if they wish In the Muslim community divorce rates are very high in the uk England There are lots of centres all over the uk England to help we mean break away from their tradition their family and their marriage A lot of women have to change districts and leaving other parts of the country because their lives can not be acceptable in the Muslim community Also if she divorced and has children or other issues She will just be looked upon as damage goods and too much baggage A lot of men who are young would not entertain the idea of picking up where somebody else left off I think the opportunity for Englishman should be open to take on board Muslim women The option should always be there It should be irrelevant if the money is a Christian Love will always move in mysterious ways and sometimes families and friends do not accept the future as it is But at the end of the day It's your life not theirs An uk England is not Pakistan or India or any other part of the world we are completely different culture All times don't always work it's time to always look at the future and be open 2 changes A lot of men now are looking abroad for women as brides There are lots of divorces looking for a new life and a new man Dating online does not work it's all a fallacy and a bad way to look at things Nothing in it is always the truth

      Muslim women can marry a white English man as long as he's a Muslim. There are many in our community here. There is no racism in Islam, perhaps in certain communities but the religion is against racism!
