Using Kaikyo (for anyone who doesn't know the Japanese written there is Kaikyo which basically means Islam but it's true meaning is much deeper) in such an artist and creative way just made me audible say "woah" in admiration. Way to go! I genuinely what you say and how you put it would not only benefit Japan and Muslims in Japan but also Muslims all over the world. May Allah bless you and make your mission come to fruition in your life time, in front of your eyes and by your hands. I am excited for Japanese Islamicate culture ngl

🤯 That's some designer-level creativity! I liked that you supplied the input yourself. The average western designer can't have this 'vision'. Even so, I hope you're able to digitise it. I think it's also not a bad idea to submit it to a professional for further refinement, or even a rehaul. Now or in the future as the channel grows. The brushwork, colourplay as well as geometry need some careful vector implementation while digitising. I hope you have been well-acquainted with graphic work in the past! If so, well, even the simplest design is never a piece of cake for the most seasoned artist. I don't know know which software ecosystem you are into (Adobe, Corel, Serif), but there has been some explosive news regarding Serif last week or something. I hope you liked it! My opinion is it was too good, but the world was not ready for this! 😆 Anyway, I hope you're able to continue the project! Godspe

I'm not sure who would notice the kanji with the two squares. But glad you're putting more thoughts into it. Congratulations on 7k subs!

Masha Allah! Good choice for changing the profile picture. I just realised seeing the Kanji that you're bringing the 'Kaikyo' meaning like you mentioned in one of your videos 😃 honest to say that I've fallen in love with those kanji (how deep the meaning is and how old it is) Just want to say Jazakallah khair for making such informative content. I haven't come across many Japanese islamic channels as yours. ❤I get to learn so much and as myself learning Japanese your videos help me a lot to understand the culture Please make dua for me that in sha Allah I become fluent in the Japanese language & culture so I can explain Islam to the Japanese people in the correct way and clear all the misinformation. And I make dua for you as well sensei. May Allah SWT reward you for all your hard work💪🏻 and efforts put into this channel to educate the world about the beauty of Japan & culture and how Its all well linked to Islam Assalamu alaykum from the UK 🫱

Congrats on gaining the 7,000+ subs, masyaAllah. Personally, I'm OK with a simple single shot talking video if it helps reduce your editing workload. The content is more significant than the fancy transitions, effects, etc.

Habibi, salam from Colombia, that logo is cool and simple, but super beautiful. May Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala reward you.

I’m not Japanese so I can’t read the typology (sorry) but I think this sketch alone surpasses all the other logos (including the one that got the most votes in the last poll). I think you should build on it, maybe start with colour? (e.g. Japan’s national red? hopefully it wouldn’t be perceived as ‘hostile’) I’m not an expert on design and color design so I don’t have anything to suggest or critique. May Allah help you with crafting the logo and also with your channel and mission in general! EDIT: Will make sure to show up to the stream when you commit to it, God willing

That's great to hear 🙏. Pardon me, I'm still learning and idk what that means. 回 from かい or まわす And 教 from 教える... Nevermind, just searched it up and it means Islam. Never thought there's a native word and kanji for Islam. Pretty cool

The Muslim Minority of Japan
3 quick updates!
1.) First of all, jazakum Allah khayran, thank you all for your support of the channel! I hit 7000subs today, alhamdulillah :)
I really want to do another LIVE, but I need some better equipment. I am afraid I gave everyone motion sickness with my first attempt, haha.
Let's promise to see each other on a LIVE when the channel reaches 10,000 subs in sha Allah. (Will give me some time to upgrade cameras)
2.) Second, I'm still not finished editing the new video. I need one more day! Will do my best to get it up tomorrow in sha Allah :)
3.) ALSO! I took your advice on the logo:
-dropped the "AI Slop"
-hand drew some designs
-added some pretty deep Japanese symbolism (well, I think it's deep)
- even threw in a hidden 回教 (do you see it?)
What do you think? should I try and produce a more high quality version of this sketch?
Scrap it? Build on it? Try again?
