Weekend Recommendation - Diriliş: Ertuğrul

May God speed you 
May the sun not burn your skin
May the rain not make your soul cold
May stones be away from your foot
Go like water,
And come back to your tent like water

A prayer line from dignified romance between Ertugrul Bey & Halime Sultan.
Dilliris Ertugrul is addictive for good reasons. A far less interested and cynical viewer like the scribe went on a binge. Allah's name is mentioned in every second dialogue which is a true reflection of our culture. It is the genesis of resurrection of Islam in pre-renaissance era. A piece of proud Turk history and a piece of art. Resurrection series will not disappoint you when in the age of fictional super heroes, you get to exprience real heroes no matter how much dramatization has taken the better of reality. We have grown up watching Hollywood 'truths' which were much worse.

Spiritual sprinkling of Ibne Arabi Andalusi add value to the settings. 

Muslim culture's strengths were never made more visible on TV screens as this series. That is the kind of production decent Muslims yearn to see. It has a bit of everything viz drama, adventure, action, history, spiritual angling, cultural richness of Muslim Turks, loyalty, betrayal and last but not the least, a dignified romance. Subtitle reading could be a bother but worth every bit. 
This would be fun. Find time to watch this series with kids & family.
Blessed weekend.
