#ATLYC17 VIDEO COMPETITION
Short FIlm Competition Rules:
Theme: The Road to Heaves – Choose Your Path
Description: Among the many paths we walk, only a few will lead us in the right direction. Al-Alim, (The All-Knowing) has stated that “whoever holds firmly to Allah has [indeed] been guided to a straight path” (Qur’an 3:101). There are many paths in life to choose from that will lead us to heaven, so long as they are in compliance with what Allah has commanded. These roads to heaven are faced with earthly trials and tribulations. Thus, whichever path you choose, the overall steps along that journey are of the same nature.
