With the ever increasing need to have more Islamic content on television in South Africa, comes the announcement of a new series entitled “The Friday Sermon” which now sees the Friday lecture, a part of the Jumuah proceedings being broadcasted on CTV, the regional Cape Town Television station, every Friday at 14h00.
The 30-minute program is the creation of FSMA Television & Film Production Specialists. According to Producer and Host Faizal Sayed, the program was designed as a service to the Muslim and broader community to bring the lectures from different Mosques to a viewer who cannot attend Friday Prayers and those who would in addition to attending the Jumuah proceeding watch one from a different mosque via television.
CTV, the regional television channel, who is now back on air is to broadcast the series every week which goes on air with the first episode starting on Friday the 16th of October 2009
“The series is really aimed to be a service to the people and at the same time ensure that a message of religious tolerance, unity and morality is received by the viewer says Sayed the series producer who has also moved into the political arena.
Many challenges are faced during the filming process as one is dealing with huge crowds in mosques on Fridays, but thus far people have been very happy about the series and accommodating, according to Production Manager Ahmed Mohamed of FSMA.
