"Lovely trash you got there!" Walk into any store and pick up the latest DVD. Look at the colors, listen to the sounds. See it. How crisp, how vibrant, how attractive it seems. What you have in your hand there is … such, such amazingly, beautified, gorgeous...trash.

Some Muslims may say, “We don’t need to put up all this flashy mumbo jumbo for dawah.” They expect the usual recording of lectures - you know the ones with the horrible audio and visual quality; those lectures where they gather people around and read to them a book in the most monotone voice possible. And in the end you’re left there holding trashy-treasure; some ugly looking jewels.

With Message Mastery it’s all about Ihsaan! Not badazzled garbage or hideous treasure.

We want to spend time polishing and shining the real jewels that nurture souls, encourage good and truly forbid evil. The purpose of Message Mastery is to equip 200 people (limited seats available)to give the beautiful vibrant message of Islam its due rights by calling people to it in an equally beautiful manner.

"There are probably less than a handful of people in the Muslim world that can single-handedly match the quality of videos that Belal produces. For any Muslim who is multimedia inclined… this MessageMastery is looking to surpass anything he has done before! — May Allah grant us success!

- Safi Shareef (FitnessforMuslims.com)

Asalaamu Alaikum,

My name is Belal Khan and before I give you the details of this program, I want to address a few questions.

1. Is this program free, or is there a fee I have to pay?

Just so we're clear, this isn't a charity. This program will cost some money. I don't agree with the famous saying, "You get what you pay for." In this program you will be getting a lot more than what you pay for. If you take what I teach you seriously you will make your investment back make MANY times over InshaAllah! -- financially and otherwise. Programs like this normally cost over $1,000.

2. If I can't attend a particular webinar or training session, will I be able to access the video, audio, and other trainings on the web after they happen?

Yes, you will. You will have access to all of the trainings in the Member's Area of the Message Mastery website which will become active once the program launches inshaAllah. You will be able to login anytime you want to access them.

3. Can I download the webinar materials to my computer, so I can watch or listen to them anytime I want, or take them with me on my iPod?

Yes, you can inshaAllah. All of the program content will be "downloadable" so you can have your own copy on your own computer. The "streaming" versions will be put online first, and the "downloadable" versions will come within a few days to a week of that.

4. What is the training schedule?

Message Mastery webinar and teleclass trainings will typically be held in the evening, starting between 7-9 PM EST on weekends, mainly Saturday. Some will be held at other times, but for the most part, this is the "main" time-frame.

5. Is there a satisfaction guarantee?

Yes, but there is a condition...

The Guarantee...is a 90-day "100%" guarantee that I'm going to offer to REALLY make this a no-brainer for you. This guarantee allows you to join the full program. This means you will attend all 5 webinar and teleclass trainings before deciding if this path and medium of dawah is for you. And if it's NOT for you, I'll give you all your money back.

The condition...You have to APPLY what I teach you. If you TAKE ACTION as I instruct throughout the program and apply the material, but there were no results then I will give you a full refund.

"In the field of AlMaghrib video, Belal has consistently come out on top and run away, in sha Allah, with the ajr reward.

But people some times (actually a lot of times) have this mentality that "Only I can do it good, no one else can." And that's just not true. There are plenty of talented people out there, and people who just need the little mentoring, and they will be able to surpass their teacher.

Alhamdulillah, for all of you who have been impressed with the video trailers for AlMaghrib, its my honor to encourage you to check out Belal's Message Mastery so that you too can grab a slice of the reward."

- Muhammad Alshareef (Founder of AlMaghrib Institute, EmanRush Audio, DiscoverULife)

NOW...below for the nitty-gritty details of the program.

Let’s talk for a minute about what YOU can do for Islam.

I mean, let’s face it: This is ONLY about equipping you to further the message of Allah-subhana wa ta'ala, for His sake alone. It’s about your life and the deeds you can accumulate in the process of guiding people, and it’s about meeting Allah-subhana wa ta'ala with that success on the Day of Judgment.

And I want to be the one to help you become successful in front of Allah. I want to help you unlock the potential that’s locked up inside of you.

"What I love about Belal is that he is a go-getter. May Allah (S) enable him to continue doing the stuff he does, and increase him in his skills and vision."

- Azeem Khan (Former National Coordinator of Young Muslims)

To make sure that what I’m about to offer you is a good fit for you, I’d like to ask you a few questions. Answer them honestly:

• Are you proficient in a particular area or niche, and would you like to learn how to turn that into a means of calling people to ISLAM and potentially make MONEY at the same time?


• Have you been working to excell at grow (or start) a video dawah project, but you just don’t have the proper training and support that you need to "super-charge" your success?


• Are you interested in learning powerful internet marketing, and business techniques; the same techniques that I use and the techniques I’ve learned from experts; the same techniques that have helped me make thousands of dollars for my business?


• Would you like to network with, learn from and meet some of the best online video dawah producers who have similar aspirations and desires as yourself?


• Are you the kind of person that can USE valuable information and advice when you learn it — and implement it immediately?


• Are you interested in becoming a powerful time manager and learn how to DOUBLE your productivity and output?


• Would you like to learn how to use words, images, video and communication to attract people to Islam?


• If I teach you the methods I’ve used to build my business as well as methods others have used to make money and call people to Islam effectively, will you USE what I teach you in your own project/idea? Are you "anti-ordinatory"? Do you desire to Leechon to the extraordinary? Are you an IMPLEMENTER?

If you answered "YES!" to most of these questions, then honestly, this is probably the single most important letter you will ever read and the biggest opportunity that you will have to learn how to make your goals, dreams and aspirations become reality.

Let’s take a step back for a moment...

Why is this program called “Message Mastery” — why not the Online Islamic Video Production Program?

Here’s why:

If you want to be effective in delivering the message of Islam, marketing, and make serious money — the kind of results that leads to real success — then I believe that you’re going to have to work toward becoming a master in what you do.

Why do you need to achieve mastery?

Achieving mastery is Ihsaan. It’s working toward excellence. It’s the highest level any Muslim can achieve. Ihsaan is doing the best that you can, and being conscience that Allah-subhana wa ta'ala sees you. This comes from the Hadith of Jibreel in which Muhammad-sal Allahu alayhi wasallam states, "[Ihsan is] to worship Allah as though you see Him, and if you cannot see Him, then indeed He sees you." (Al-Bukhari and Al-Muslim)

Someone with Ihsaan is a "Muhsin." Who doesn’t want to strive for that status?

Because that’s what we are striving to be. We’re people who are seeking excellence in what we do. We're delivering the message of the Oneness Allah-subhana wa ta'ala. We're enjoing the good and forbidding the evil.

Getting to the point:

If you want to achieve a level of mastery, then it’s something you must LEARN how to do and practice.

I'm not one to kill hopes, but you’re not going become Steven Spielberg overnight and make a million dollars on your first swing. If you thought that is what this program is, then alhumdulillah, you’re reading this right now.

In the Message Mastery program, you’re going to learn how to be a master in your field. By the will and barakah of Allah-subhana wa ta'ala you'll become someone whom people will seek out to pay for advice and to untilzie your skills.

It takes time to learn. That’s why this program training is spread out over several weeks of learning and implementing — to TOTALLY immerse you in the education you need.

"This is just what i have been waiting for."

- Mehboob

When I started my dawah and video efforts, I had never seriously done anything worthwhile that people could truly watch and benefit. I had never even given thought to the possibility of making any money doing this sort of work...

• I didn’t know how to write a script, much less put a story together.


• I didn’t know how to properly edit and upload video so that others could watch it.


• I didn’t know how to set up a proper website so that someone COULD benefit from what I’ve done.

Further, when it came to the "business" side of things...

• I never before started or ran a business.


• I had zero experience with real internet marketing.


• And to top it all off, I haven’t had worked a full time job for almost two years now, because of the work that I do.

I did have one asset on my side: A great teacher who had successfully started three dawah businesses (EmanRush Audio, AlMaghrib Institute, and DiscoverU Life) from scratch whose operations and reach spanned internationally, and was financially independent while doing it.

He gave me the gift of showing me how he did it...

After having him coach, encourage, push, and even couple times INSULT me into action, I successfully produced my first full featured dawah based video titled The Strangers AND by the blessing of the Allah made profit from it.

You have at LEAST the same level of opportunity that I did (and you probably have a MUCH bigger advantage in terms of tools, technology, and training than I ever had).

In fact, here are some of the things that you can take advantage of today, things that I had NO access to in 2004 when I started MY video and dawah work:

• Cheap (even some free), reliable website hosting that nearly has no down time.


• Cheap (even some free) methods of editing your video offline and even online.


• Tools to record video, audio, stories, images, and graphics that weren’t available to me when I started.


• Training and coaching from someone whose done it.

...and PLENTY of other stuff inshaAllah.

What’s really BENEFICIAL and exciting is the access to the KNOWLEDGE of HOW to put it all together.

"Thank you so much for this! Truly inspiring stuff for a 16 year old filmmaker like me. If someone like you who knew nothing when you were my age can do so much, it really is encouraging!"

- Kashif

"I've been told I have a lot of great ideas, and I do, but I don't know where to start..."
"I want to go to film school, but it's super expensive..."
"I have some resources at my hands, but I don't know where to start!"
"I've got ideas buzzing in my head and I don't know the perfect way to produce it..."

Lets take a step back...

Why is it that many teachers and "experts" are broke? Most live from hand to mouth, they spend 5-10 years in school, and then come out $100,000-$200,000 in debt (most probably in riba based loans); I'm talking about many people in the film industry as well. Not everyone is a Spielberg. In actuality, very few are. A lot of these people have the knowledge, but they are missing a few key elements of making things successful.

• Knowing how to build a package


• Knowing the business

Michael Uslan (Executive producer of Batman) talked about this. The most successful people in the industry, aren't sucessful because they know how to do stuff, rather they know the business. They understand people's roles, and how the money flows. They understand hollywood isn't a film-MAKING industry, rather it's a film-MARKETING industry, with a single goal: to make profit.

A REAL producer will tell you that a theatrical release, is really JUST a big commercial for the DVD. That's why many studios and prodcuers may be willing to lose money over a theatrical release because they can make the real money in the backend via distribution deals such as DVD, video on demand, cable, satellite, internet, etc.

One of my teachers is a producer. He has produced many shows for CBS and National Geographic Explorer. In fact he actually STARTED National Geographic Exlorer. The #1 thing he's always driving home to us is if you want to be a producer, whatever you produce, you NEED to have a passion for it. You NEED to understand business. And you NEED to understand marketing.

Marketing is something that I WILL teach you in this program inshaAllah.

But before you can market something, you have to start! Produce something! It doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to get going! Perfection belongs ONLY to Allah-subhana wa ta'ala. Don't try to attribute it to yourself, rather strive for excellence and mastery.

I say start now! You have an idea? GREAT! Write it out! You have a camera, or know someone who does? GREAT!
Record something. Show me that you are someone who takes massive action.

ACTION and IMPLEMENTATION is the most important part of having knowledge. You don't really "KNOW" till you go. When you take a step and you have butterflies in your tummy, that's a good thing. You're treading new ground and you're going learn via experience. At the same time you will have someone to guide, coach, encourage, and push you along the way. Welcome the butterflies and fly with them.

Message Mastery is organized around what I consider to be the KEY principles when it comes to learning video and filmmaking for your dawah project:

• Live training


• A structured curriculum


• Being ordinary among extraordinary people.

"You know what this is exacly what i’ve been dreaming about, how to make cool videos for dawah purposes and i’m so exited!"

- Alima

The value and benefit of learning LIVE is unbeatable. We’re going to be using live teleclass and webinar trainings. You can’t beat the power of hearing something in REAL TIME and being a part of the process and interacting with the teacher, as well as taking that into action.

In the modern internet day and age, it’s not always practical to attend live online trainings. To accommodate such people every session will be recorded and available in streaming format online for those who are the program.

The scheduled live trainings will be recorded — so if you miss something, you can always review it on your own time. This way you’re SURE to get every part of the training.

When you come to the live online trainings, you are going to be meeting, networking with and learning from a combination of likeminded people. What better way to grow than to be around people who will support you along the way.

I have a curriculum outline.

"Brother Belal wants to start a project. He wants to help setup people to learn how to do filmmaking and learn how to do like what I do. I kinda learned the hard way of like no one really to ask. There wasn't a class like this. I had to go on my own and fingure things out, And although you can do that, it takes a long time, and this is a much easier process when someone shows you how to do it."

- Baba Ali - Founder of Ummah Films

During your education, you’re going to get training in all major aspects of getting your message across through the medium of video. There isn’t a program designed like this available online to the public. Not yet at least. The fact that Muslims will be getting access to this first is even more amazing.

I’m going to accept ONLY 200 people into this program.

Why only 200? It’s a little low isn’t it? The program is new, and I want to make sure that each person who joins gets the highest possible quality training.

Keep in mind...I personally don’t plan to conduct this same program again! -- I highly advise you get on this ship before it sails.

I’m only interested in working with and teaching people who honestly want to help Islam, and not just say they do.

I am NOT interested in teaching people who want to take this knowledge and just let it go to waste.

If you’re the type of person who complains, whines, but does nothing to make things better, then don’t waste my time nor your time. I don’t have room for such people.

If I’m coming off harsh, then I’m sorry, but I take this seriously. I’m putting a lot of work and effort into this program for the benefit of Islam. If you aren’t like minded, and honestly don’t intend to carry this deen forward, then please do NOT apply for this program.

This program is for honest and sincere people who have integrity and a desire to work for the sake of Allah-subhana wa ta'ala and take His deen forward.

I don’t mean to be harsh, but I don’t need to spend my time with people who don’t have the betterment of humanity on their minds. My time, life, deen, and hereafter is not worth it wasting with people who don’t walk the talk.

I’m interested in creating a powerful, connected, supportive community of people who really want to do something great for Islam, and are willing to take ACTION.

"This is so cool! I always wanted to do something like this–but never had the resources to do so."

- Rabia

Join the Message Mastery program for 90 days, and try it out. Watch the videos, attend the webinars, and IMPLEMENT what you learn.

THAT is how you’ll know if this is for you.

If you get to the end of your 90 days, implemented what you learned and you still don’t feel like you’ve gotten a great deal out of the program, just ask for your money back.

I’m not here to take people’s money if they don’t feel they are benefiting. I want you to feel COMPLETELY confident that you’re going to be able to "try before you commit" to the program.

I can’t promise that you will make ANY money if you join the Message Mastery program.

In fact, I can’t promise that you’ll get ANY results at all if you join this program.

Why am I telling you this, especially when I’m about to ask you to invest some of your hard-earned money in the Message Mastery program?

Simple...I don’t want you to make a decision based on emotion, excitement and fantasy.

I want you to make a thought out decision with the proper facts and analysis. I want you to be SURE that this program is absolutely right for you and your situation before you decide to join.

I’m not going to promise you that you’ll definitely make money or that you’ll definitely get big results. Why would I tell you this?

In order to get results and even make money, you must ATTEND the trainings (or at least get the videos if you can’t make the sessions live), you must USE what you learn, and you must CONTRIBUTE to the program.

ATTEND: You must take advantage of what I teach you, and give what you learn its due right. You must go THROUGH the program.

USE WHAT YOU LEARN: You have to take the concepts, methods and systems that I teach you, and IMPLEMENT them. Take action!

CONTRIBUTE TO THE PROGRAM: You must report your results, teach others and contribute what you know to help others.

If you do these three things I still won’t PROMISE that you’ll get results and get amazing value from the program, rather after the tawfeeq of Allah-subhana wa ta'ala, I GUARANTEE it.

I can’t control you. Only you can control yourself. I can’t make you take action, and implement what you learn in this program. Only you can make that decision and follow up with action. I can’t take action for you. I can’t promise that you’re going to take action on what you learn. I will to the best of my ability teach you and encourage you to get you to take action, but only YOU can actually do it.

Join the program, and experience it for a FULL 90 days. If you do all of this, you implement what you learn, and you honestly don’t feel that you haven’t benefited — and you’re not satisfied with the results you’re achieving, just send me an email and say "Belal, it’s not working out for me, and I’d like my money back".

I will give you an apology for wasting your time

I’ll refund ALL of the tuition you’ve invested

I’ll let you KEEP all the training and materials you’ve received

I cannot imagine a better deal.

I’ve put a lot of time and energy into developing this, and I still am continuously putting my time, effort, and energy into making this a great experience. I don’t want you to waste my time, and take up a space in the program that someone else whose going to PARTICIPATE and USE what they learn.

I’ll repeat: I want you to join the program, and experience a full 3 MONTHS of training at my risk. If you go through the entire first 3 months, attend the trainings, do the exercises, implement what you learn, and you haven’t benefited by the value you’ve received — just let me know.

And I’ll refund ALL your money.

I’m SERIOUS about offering you the best education I can offer you for having mastery in delivering a message — and marketing your dawah and video — to call people to Allah, enjoin the good and forbid the evil while making some money too.

"I am soooooooooo excited! Subuhana Allah! I was just feeling so lost the other day, frustrated and sad because I have all the intentions and ambition to make daw’ah videos, but don’t know even the first step how? and I so want to contribute and be part of a great change Insh’Allah! In the Name of Allah(SWT) for our Ummah and World.

I began making du’ah to Allah(SWT) to help me with His(SWT) guidance, love and wisdom Insh’Allah! To somehow, someway Insh’Allah! find and learn the tools to make great and impacting videos for purposes of daw’ah. Subuhana Allah! Alhamduli Allah! Next thing I know, a friend on “YouTube” suddenly sends me your video and invitation! Mash’Allah! Mash’Allah!

If I am blessed enough to have the opportunity to receive your instruction, guidance and help to participate in the “webinar” and larger daw’ah projects Insh’Allah!"

- Yasmine

The cost schedule for the program is as follows

• Single Payment of $247 or...
• Five Payments $53

Training and education like this would normally cost over $1000. People pay (many via riba based loans) over $15,000 a semester to learn this sort of material. Imagine if you could be applying this knowledge, advice, and information and communicate to people the truth about Islam via visual medium. Imagine standing infront of Allah-subhana wa ta'ala with the results that came out because of your work.
