This is just too beautiful

It's funny how we overlook small little things in life and some people found the deepest meaning through the same thing.

Watch this clip, a true story beautifully captured by Yasmin Ahmad (I adore her! =)) for SPCA.


Excerpt from Yasmin's blog on the story :

On the 29th of December, 2008, my crew and I shot this commercial in Ipoh. It was a one-day shoot, alhamdulillah.

I had written a script, based on the true story of Encik Shahrul's family, or more specifically, of his youngest child, Adlan.

Adlan was an extreme autistic who, for 7 years, behaved like he was trapped in a bubble, unable to communicate with the outside world, and vice versa.

What finally brought him out of the state is shown in the commercial you see here.

The dog is the most misunderstood animal in this country. Its haters, I'm sad to say, are largely Malays who often don't even know the difference between "haram" and "najis", let alone the finer points and different degrees of najis.

With this little film, I urge my people to read more about the true Islamic rules concerning this beautiful creature of God, and to please refrain from being cruel to it.

Let's do this for Allah

Her message is simple yet strong, so true to our everyday lives. So go on, help spread the word and save those animals :)
