Great video
"...that won't work on me. I fear God too."
You know it is over for you when a Djinn has more faith than you lol
oh lol, that man was also an evil spirit?
@@fiendymisfits1734 He is possibly. But I must correct you on this. Spirits do not really have any business in humans world. In this short, they are djinns. And some of them believe in God and fear Him but they can still be mischievous (if I spell it correctly) like us.
@@salispadli oh djinn means evil spirit?
@@fiendymisfits1734 Djinns are not spirits in Islamic terminology. Spirits are our unseen part that will leave this world when we die. In Islam we don't have this concept of semi-transparent spirits floating on earth to haunt people. But yeah, some of the djinns are evil and we call these evil djinns shaytan (satan) or demons, and some of them are believers and God fearing and we call them djinn believers. But just like us, their free will make it possible for them to do bad things. They are living beings with free will and responsibility just like us. They are not supernatural, they are just "superhuman" because they have powers humans don't posses. And this short film can be interpreted more specifically that the djinn (I don't know how many) is playing with the sheikh's mind out of his envy to the sheikh who is aware of what is halal and haram and will be rewarded greatly for every good deed but the sheikh abandons God and chose evil acts.
"God blessed you with religion but you just don't deserve it."
Also I interpret the situation happens in the sheikh's mind because we don't actually believe djinns have such power to teleport us to other dimension out of their free will. Except in some specific cases which God allows them to. If djinns could do so, why wouldn't it happen frequently, right?
Siti Rahimah
That’s what I said, like wow the Djinn got more Iman than the sheik!
Im from a muslim country and when he said 'i usually take 15,000 but ill take 10,000 for this' is something very realistic the entire concept of a fake exorcist is very real here
Most of the times these fake persons take advantage of people' s believes in them and leech money off of them for so called blessing sessions
Like the fake ruqya situation in London.

Sad! That should be free with the opportunity to give a Thank You donation if you choose
What I love about djinn horror stories are they aren't full of jump scares, but are more psychological horror, full of slow degradation of mental capacity of characters and leaves the viewers puzzled
That because in Islam Jins can be believers too. We even have a surah Jinn in Quran.
Djinns are manipulative. Whatever they say can't be the truth
In Islam
Human can not see a Jinn.
But Jin can see a human.
It's God's decree.
If someone can see a Jinn, there's something wrong with Him/Her.
To interact,
A good Jin (Muslim Jinn), never even try to Interact with Human.
They have their own bussiness in their world, just like pray to God or ect.
Meanwhile, a bad Jinn, they like to do that, such as tempt people to make a bad thing or make some prank to human.
But in Islam, Never believes what Jin says. Coz a Good Jinn will never try to interact with Human
even just to visit our dimension, because they're know, That is against the law of nature create by the God.
What is the title of the movie
That is how the devil works in reality actually playing mind tricks manigests slowly he has all thentime till judgement day
As a Muslim I am quite happy to see this. Good job. We actually recently had a scandal with a fake exorcist in our community. So this was spot on about how there’s an abuser in every faith taking advantage of those in need

woah! this is the first Arab/Muslim horror short I’ve seen! really creative and amazing! 💖
Agree 💞
Same
We hope to bring many more short films (and also features) from the Middle East to you all. ❤️
@@WatchALTER one based on voodoo that would be cool to like new Orleans or Haitian based would be really good
Same here! Very good movie!
The demons were testing the priest. Brilliant acting. Brilliant story.
We entirely agree about the acting and the story.
Learner ktm u mean the djinns and the sheikh
@@WatchALTER what exactly is going on? Ashamed to say this went over my head.
@@problematic_canik The man is a fake sheikh, performing a fake exorcism, and is making money to do so. It appears that the people he has attempted in the past were all sick or injured, and he didn't have to worry about it being a husband wrongly accusing his wife of being a djinn. However, he realizes that she might be healthy and fine, and her husband is the one possessed. He then hopes to help her escape and get away from the man. But then he realizes that she might have been possessed all along and the djinn has been testing his faith. The rest we hope you all decide what it means and what happens next.
@@WatchALTER love you guys. Thanks for the quick response alter team!!
This is splendid. I feel that the man died and this is his afterlife...forever looking for a way out but never finding any. The dark room represents the darkness that awaits him for he had chosen material wealth over faith. Truly amazing. Amazing message.
I couldn't understand the story. Please explain
So as muslims, we believe that there are good demons and bad demons just like us humans. The sheikh here was probably a pious man at one point but got greedy and used God's word for material wealth. He tricks people into believing that their loved ones are possessed and need exorcism for what he charges money. Now he's being tested by the good demons or perhaps being tortured in afterlife. Because he's trapped in a maize and returns to the same place where he started even when he tries to escape, like a limbo. At the end when he tries to leave the house, he can see nothing but darkness signifying( or so I believe) that he has nothing ahead of him but darkess.
@@harukahyuuga7895 so the stabbing and escape was faked by the Jin?
@@aminmecci2441 kinda yeah
What is the title of the movie
The actors are great, the cinematography is on point, and the setting is unique - great job to everyone involved!

@@hanakazim2892 can i use your movie and translate it or no?
Good job
No gloves, this is haram.. 💝
What is the title of the movie
My most favorite part of this film is the accuracy to the religion of Islam. There is no lie displayed here, all of it is accurate. Thank you, thank you for representing it correctly.
It's not only related to the religion of Islam but to all faith. by the way Muslims I mean real scholars and not money hungry ones are the only ones who can carry out real exorcism and free you if you are possessed
@@abidakhamisa66 yes yes I know, I'm definitely aware of that! I was just happy that they didnt display the inaccuracies that the media does with regards to Islam. I love how they showed that the man stopped the fake scholar so he can cover his wife. I loved how the jinn said he has faith in Allah, so the fake scholars "prayers" wont work on it. There wasnt anything wrong, and you can tell that the film was produced by a knowledgable person, a person who knew the facts of Islam, not the misconceptions. That's what I loved.
The woman who made it is a Muslim so of course she would know, unlike the jerks who produce Netflix shows
how ironic without lies islam dies
@@Yerinjibbang drink a glass of water and cool off maybe lmao
As a Catholic I am struck by the fact that moral failures and consequences of such failure are universal across all religions. I really like the presupposition that God does exist, no fumbling around with the Disbelief so prevelant in Western films.
And indeed you will find the christians closer to you as they are monks and priests.
I wish you blessings, person of the book.
I needed to pause during this gem to share my opinion ! What an intense, well written, well played and full of suspense short film ! Seeing a Muslim based horror/thriller story is so interesting and refreshing ! It's a nice variation from Western horror movies.
I thoroughly enjoy it !
WHY WATCH NETFLIX WHEN U HAVE ALTER?!
BUT we hope you would also watch us if were on Netflix or Roku or Spotify... 👀
@@WatchALTER you need to make a deal with Netflix or Hulu and do an anthology series, like Creepshow. Really need something like that.
I agree + ALTER is way better
Yeah!!
Especially why Shudder?
Brilliant story! When he said, “What goes around, comes back around”. That’s karma for falsely saying Gods word for money. One of the seven deadly sins is Greed, perfect example of this.
It’s actually a Hadith for the prophet Muhammad peace be upon him
@Fong Guang sorry but we were never taught about those deadly sins. Because sins are sins. But the biggest sin in Islam is associating others with Allah/God (Shirk)
But karma concept came from Hinduism and Buddhism . I dont how people keep on using it despite belonging to abrahamic faiths ? There might be teachings related to good deeds or planting good seeds giving rise to good fruits ..but the concept of karma is not there.
@Fong Guang but what she meant was the quotes not the deadly sin term
@@EloraSelahKifara is the Arabic word for karma.
This like a plot twist, inside a plot twist, within a plot twist.
I actually feel bad for the guy. He may be a crook but when he thought someone was in actual danger he risked his life to help them.
That means u didnt understand the moral of this film
Let's unbox with Rabia No, I just disagree with it
@That1Guy .. oh okay.got ya!!
But this is religious propaganda, so it doesn't matter how good-hearted he is. All that matters is that he lacks faith.
@@ForwardEarth Regardless of the religion present in the film, how is this in any way propaganda? People using words without understanding their meaning...
Wow. Never seen an Arab/Muslim horror before. Have to say, this was horrifyingly righteous, well done, & thank you.
Try watching Siccin. Its really awesome. (Just suggesting bcz i thought u'll like watching more of these muslim horror movies) 😊
love thanks anymore?
@@JoBlogz siccin has 6 or may be 7 parts so u will have a lot to watch already ☺ hope u like it. Its really creepy tho. You'll have to watch with subtitles
i watched the trailer and it didnt seem as gripping or sober as this
what do you think?
@@JoBlogz its actually very creepy and bloody and about black magic plus its based on true events 🤔 i really liked the first part. But you may not enjoy it if you dont like this kind of stuff? 😯
“Why do you stay in prison, when the door is so wide open?” - Rumi
this was a clean Horror movie... No blood, no terrifying faces, no flying ghosts, no shit, ...
It is scary in an attractive psychological way ... I love this kind of movie......
أحب هذا النوع من الأفلام...لا دم ولا قرف...فلم يعتمد على الرعب النفسي بإسلوب بسيط ونظيف وحوارات شيقة وحبكة درامية تحوي على الغموض
..بالإضافة إلى التصوير والتمثيل وحسن إختيار الممثلين....بصراحة أبدعوا إلي عملوا هذا الفلم..
man. this one has strong ari aster vibes. great cinematography, unexpected twist, pace, dialogues. great one!
Kkay so the problem of being a lil early is that ppl like me have to literally break our head and try to get it instead of just reading a smartie's comment
So here's my understanding (it might just be wrong)-
So i feel that our man is simply seeing a reflection of himself with Khaild. Clearly he loved his daughter greatly. And if u see, Khalid asks him " *_When_* did u lose faith?" , which makes me think that he lost faith in god after his daughter's death which caused him a great deal of distress and blamed it on his wife , and in the beginning we see him saying that he understands not having a wife around , so chances r that he killed her.
The lady says , *What goes around comes around* yea , so she must be referring to his own sin comitted against *_his_* wife.
The daughter also disappears so i think its safe to assume that she's no more.
*Now taking the time on the clock into consideration* -
At 10:30 on the clock , the lady and the daughter disapear and khalid is found dead , according to the Bible , verse 10:30 states *_"I and the father are one"_* , i think its pretty convincing that Khalid is the Imam's younger self because even if u look into the Quran , 10:30 states " *_Every soul will be put to trial for what they did previously and they will return to their master , the truth and lost from them is whatever they used to invent_* "
.So the Imam might just be put into trial (hell maybe) for the sins comitted. We can also get that from the line she states. Basically karma is a bitch and it hits u back. He also opens the door to just find an empty space of darkness.
Serina Nasir, outstanding interpretation of the film. You noticed several details that went right over my head. I look forward to seeing your comments on future films here at ALTER, and hopefully at Omeleto, and DUST too.
Excellent analysis! We TRULY love to see it and thank you for sharing. We're going to pin your comment and hope that it fosters more thoughtful discussion around this film.
Stay ALTERed.
@Serina Nasir: Religious scholar much? Great analysis. You're the Smartie!
I literally had to watch it over again after reading your analysis! Opened up a whole new side of it that I hadn't considered. Thanks!
U r a genius, hun.

i was stunned when i hear the devil/djinn can quote qur'an verses too,
nice and good short horror movie 👍🏼
can't wait for another kind of movie like this
3:07 At first it looked like nobody was even in the bed. I thought he had a imaginary wife haha. Good movie 👍
"God gifted you with religion, but you do not deserve it" this line hit me and my Imaan hard. How disobedient we are and how long we will be?? Question to me and all 🥺

Best thing that explains about good and evil , loved it !! The true believer never charge for helping others.. you showed the real makr with maqafaat.. well done.
What is the title of the movie
Mashallah this was very well made. Muslims needs more cinema representation especially in genres people wouldn't expect them to blend so well in
even the djinn has more faith than the fake sheikh
The videography is fantastic! So professional and with a very deep meaning. Loved it! ♥
This is absolutely stunning. Great writing, great acting, great camera work. And a great ending!
MN Irwin thank you! ☺️
This was absolutely BEAUTIFULLY done. Extremely rich with the cinematography, wonder story line, and some great acting. I'm weak with this one Alter!❤❤❤
WOW i was amazed by this wonderful psychedelic work of art!! The director is so creative and everyone who was a part of this film did a great job.
Very creative really ... no spooky face, no sudden sound I was expecting, nothing !! Nice work, still dark.
I’m an American born Muslim and this was really well done. It was a bit confusing to me but overall I loved it 🙂. I keep my faith stronger now.
As an arabian guy and one of your fans ,I am very happy to see an arabic content here ,hoping that it won't be last time ..
We have alot of original horror stories in our culture so it would be great seeing that stories as short films here on the channel.

thatunconsciousguy thank you very much 🙏🏼 glad you liked it ☺️
That was not a demon
It was djinn a good one teaching him a lesson not play with others faith in God
And the last scene when that man opens the door and all he sees is black void that is the shadow world of evil demon, evil djinns and those who died untimely death
And rest is upto us to decide what will happen next
@De caprio no there a different class of djinn who has accepted Islam and they are good
Normally they don't interfere in human business
@De caprio it is written in Quraan
this is bad demons are demons religion has really change God words demons are demons.
@De capriosurah al jinn 72
@De caprio dude that's what I'm saying the whole time they are not demons
This was just wonderful, just 100% one of the best ones so far.
Love the Middle Eastern horror shorts! Its exciting to watch the lore, religious beliefs, and stories that have been handed down over centuries or even just days ago! Such a colorful and diverse area to pick and choose from.
There's nothing scary in it but the fear factor is there. Awesome~
Congrats on getting a million subscribers! I'm really excited and happy I joined.🍻🥂
*Finally Alter is now my part of life. I was not expecting they will cover this part of paranormal also* just amazing.
the sentence "tell me seikh,when you lose faith in god".....it shivers me....ya Allah .......thank you for converging such a story.........😮
This one was really good Nice to see Alter working with Djinns waiting for an Alter Skin walker or Wendigo story!
1 million ALTERED minds!! Congrats!!

The scene when khalid said "losing faith in god & decided to get rich of his word" it's really happen to my country. We have "ustad" but he do the same as this movie
I am sorry for Hollywood, because the chains like ALTER and the others of the same kind, are currently exploiting the best ideas or scenarios in the horror genre. It will be difficult for Hollywood now to impress us. They will have to be much more creative else it will be just like déjà vu .
Brilliant. Very thought provoking.
This is really chilling, especially this involves faith.
The part that scared me the most was when he started to exit and saw only darkness. Now my question is, what would happen if he exited the place and entered the darkness?
He was in hell for using God's word to get money!
Definitely a possible interpretation of the film! Thanks for watching.
Just movie

This was Brilliant! Despite I could not speak the language, it took nothing away from the and ambiance created by the director and the acting. In fact, even if this short didn't have subtitles, I would still know what was going on.
Wooow i thought i'm gonna see some jumpscares but never thought that it will be this deep. Some sentences hit deep inside my heart and makes me wondering about myself too. Thank you for making this short movie!
This was great with some understanding of the culture and faith used in the production. Great work.
The scariest thing is that he's cutting onions on the same spot he just cut raw chicken. Talk about contamination! Lol. No seriously... this was really good!
And they will both be cooked together...so your point is?
@@maviarab actually, eventhough they'll be cooked and boiled probably it actually poisons the food. You can't feel it because it's boiled and it kills most of the bad bacteria, but there's always some dangerous ones left. Meet the power of raw chicken, hun.😅
@@cotton.candycurls2390 People cook like this all over the world...daily. Be serious for a moment and lighten up lol.
I was thinking more on how he was cutting the onions. He won't have fingertips anymore if he cuts stuff like that.
@@maviarab people have done a lot of shit all over the world for centuries... doesn't mean it's the correct thing to do.
This is a Master piece!!!! best short film I've seen lately, I'm not a Muslim, but I the concept of the inner good and evil embedded into each one of us is universal. Movie wise this is a great piece, it threatens with the concept of primal fears, guilt, shame, self repentant, lost of faith and the movie builds slowly on this concepts till the point that you know it is not going to end up well.
Antonio Saenz thank you 😊
Very good film. I love alter having scary short films from other countries and religions. I may not always completely understand everything, but I always get the jist of what's going on. Very well done.
Congratulations on 1M guys you deserve more!!
Really scared me out... One of the best
