In collaboration with Islamic Relief, The Adventures of Hakim:2 Streetwise Champion has nearly completed production!
That’s right he’s back! Due to popular demand we simply had to continue the adventures of one of the most dynamic characters to emerge in recent years - Abdul Hakim: the Hero for the Ummah! Why? Because every one needs a hero and whether challenged, confused or frightened, Abdul Hakim always holds fast to the rope of Allah and the example of His Messenger (s) while encouraging others to do the same.
Since
its debut in 1999 the AOH has gone international. To the USA, South
Africa and Australia, it’s been the subject of workshops, stage plays
and websites. Along with favourites like Abdullah, Amar, Sharkey - his
gang the White Skulls, and Buckmaster, we also introduce new characters
to the AOH universe: Abdul Hakims caring headmistress Mrs Battyhaliks,
the mysterious rapper Axel Blue and of course the Kung Fu kid from
California, Shakira!
That’s right a bonus nasheed by Khaleel, Mecca2Medina, Brother Dash and Zafa from Seven 8 Six called ‘Heroes of the Ummah’ has been reordered. Also, to ensure you stay on the very edge of your seats and in the know, the 12-page cd booklet will be crammed with a feast of brain boggling activities in the CD booklet. Not mention the famous M.A.D: Muslims Against Drugs audio files.
