Welcome to Thaqafah Islamiyah –
A website featuring Islamic theater
Why Thaqafah Islamiyah”?
Our collective Islamic Culture is rich, varied and important to be shared. Traditionally it has been expressed through calligraphy and architecture. But the culture of Islam is the civilization of Muslims over time as reflected in our customs, arts and conveniences.
Since Muslims themselves are part of many nations and thus have many 'ethnic' cultures - our Islamic culture enhances and furthers the literature, theater, music and art of each individually.
Through the use of the arts, we are not only able to enhance the love of our own Islamic culture - but its understanding too.
It is indeed a historical fact that literature, theater and art have been the cause of revolutions in the life of the human being. Theater has a way of transforming us into a world we can relate to or try to relate to and thus improve our collective condition.
Theater with an Islamic theme not only reinforces our collective consciousness, but is a Dawah tool to help others understand who we are, celebrate what Islam has brought to us as human beings or discuss ills that have overwhelmed our ethnic/national cultures in their attempt to incorporate Al-Islam as the way of life.
We pray Allah accepts our efforts and intentions and that you find some benefit to that which is included at this site.
