Introduction
Muslim-Manga deviantart group and website are specially dedicated for muslims to hang out their creative inovation for manga's world(japanese type of comics) without throwing out the islamic indentity yet pursuing the manga lovers towards the real meaning of muslim's lives. The real meaning of muslims lives that includes the rules and obligations set up by Islam is adored by the muslim manga's deviantart group and website founder, Mr SHSN. Therefore, for this reason SHSN is inspired to create a clean and loving muslims' lives environtment through his website and deviantart group.
We in here, are not going to talk about SHSN's personal life but rather about his mission and vision which is bringing out the people's imagination and wishes towards reality through the creativity submitted by them in manga's world.
SHSN's creativity does not only focusing on the beauty of manga's arts but also focusing on the beauty of Islamic life living within the follower from each of Islamic school of thoughts. As a friend to him, IslamUnityDotNet had been watching his journey towards the goal of developing muslim manga into a higher stage day by day. He came out with various ideas from his websites and had never feel satisfied until he found his own identity in manga's world. Mr SHSN's had created some unique characters for his own story created for manga. Besides of having Muslim-Manga deviantart group and website for muslims's manga lovers, he is also trying his best to guide people towards his own world of art through studioSHSN Dot Com.
His created characters are Salman,Harun ,Hamzah and a few more which are in making. As explained to us, some of these characters are created to act in a story which will connect the muslims from various school of thoughts to understand the meaning of unity expecially sunni-shia unity. His answers can be viewed through the short interview with him.
IslamUnityDotNet: What are the kind of personality and identity you are trying to create for hamzah,salman and harun the character you've created?
SHSN: Hamzah and Salman are in one story and Harun is in one story. I'll tell you about Hamzah and Salman for now:
Hamzah and Salman are like Shia and Sunni. They always fight with each other because they think they are each other's enemy. When they find out who their real enemy is and unite against them, they become a lot more powerful...
IslamUnityDotNet: What is your main, kind of story that you would like to make hamzah,harun and salam to role on?
SHSN: I think I explained this in the first question.
IslamUnityDotNet: What are you expecting from your manga's readers to understand once u've completed the stories which will be roling by the characters you've created?
SHSN:They would understand that we need unity and that we should not hate or dislike each other because of minor differences
IslamUnityDotNet: What is your vision for your studioshsn.com?
SHSN: Nothing really. Studioshsn.com is just a site to me.. Studioshsn does not really have anything to do with muslim-manga.. I might use it to try to sell my drawings over the internet or other things similar to that.
IslamUnityDotNet: May you explain to us this tag line "morphing reality into imagination" stated on ur shsnstudio.com's logo to us?Why morphing reality into imagination why not morphing imagination into reality?This is really interesting.
SHSN: Like I said before, StudioSHSN is nothing religious. I had a class a year ago and we had to make a company and we also had to make a tag line so since in this company of mine, I drew real people and made them into cartoons... So I was morphing reality into imagination...
Now let us read what is his vision and wills on Muslim-Manga
.
SHSN: Well I don't call it mmanga anymore.. I just call it Muslim-Manga (Muslim-Manga.com)
My main goal I want for Muslim-Manga is that we can create Manga (Japanese comics)that are about Islam or about Muslim characters. When I say Muslim characters, I mean I want the Muslim characters to be the good guys and they are saving people. So the mangas either teach Muslims or non Muslims Islamic lessons to learn, or they show that Muslims are the good people. "see, they are the super heros".IslamUnityDotNet: How did you conduct Islamic unity environment through it?
SHSN: I like Islamic Unity, so I will not accept mangas that are against Unity. I also try to allow people who hate other Muslims join the group.
IslamUnityDotNet: And what is islamic unity means for you and how all muslims should act upon it?
SHSN: I think people should love and not hate. We were able to live peacefully among each other a long time ago even though we had difference in opinion, so we can be like that again
The above short interview was made through deviantart notes between our staff and him.
His works and effort
To acheive his goal for Muslim-Manga, Mr SHSN has made various of contests in deviantart to encourage people whether they are muslims or not to join the group and at the same time to be under one main goal that is to pursue people especially the Muslims towards a better meaning of true relationship between them without mentioning their school of thoughts.What can we see in his created group is, muslims spread the same manners and obligation as muslims through different styles. And those styles does not even scratch the Islamic unity bond existed between them.
One of the recent contest held in there is Muslim Male OC (Original Character) Contest. And the winner for the contest is Ryuchi87.
The prizes offered is not the members' main focus but a spirit to live in manga world peacefully is what they are standing on. This has truely bring IslamUnityDotNet a wish to give more support to Muslim-Manga and hopefully in future we could sponsors some valueble prizes to encourage the contestants to streghten their will to succeed in manga world especially in Muslim Manga World.InshaAllah.
Muslim-Manga latest beautiful and valueble contest
SHSN had annouced that a new contest will be held soon, IslamUnityDotNet is very excited with this new coming contest because it is involving Islamic Unity. The annoucement can be viewed as follows:
Be Prepared because there will be a new contest soon. For the unity contest you will need to create an artwork in anime or manga style that shows Muslims (Sunni, Shia, etc. ) having unity with one another and loving each other.As we know some people in this world try to create fitna between Muslims. As we know Muslims lived together without hate after the prophet of Islam passed away. This hate for each other is something new and as true Muslims we should not allow this hate to continue.
Unity does not mean you have to accept each other's beliefs as your own. It just means you won't hate each other because of that difference in belief.
This contest is NOT open yet. I just wanted to let our members know that this contest will be opening soon. The contest will most likely open when I have time to write the rules. http://muslim-manga.deviantart.com/blog/30110419/
InshaAllah, IslamUnityDotNet will also participate in this contest via some efforts like, promoting the contest and updates from the contestants through our website inshaAllah.
Our wish and hope
We wish SHSN success in his mission and vision for the Ummah through Muslim-manga world.And hopefully we could give more support for it in order to full fill our own vision and mission for the loveable Ummah of RasulAllah(Pbuh&hf) especially to the group of Ummah whom are willing and working to see their brethren to have happiness in here and hereafter.InshaAllah.
