Brother Duo Spreads Islamic Values Through Comics

TWO CIRCLES
By Shaik Zakeer Hussain
40 Sufi Comics
INDIA---For their living, the brother duo Ali and Arif Vakil work for their family owned real estate company Vakil Housing. However, it is not their entrepreneurship that makes their story interesting, but it is their fascinating creation called Sufi Comics; a fruit borne out of their lifelong passion for comics and Islam. With an impressive combination of the increasingly popular medium of comics and the treasure trove of wisdom found in the Islamic traditions, the brothers have carved a niche for themselves and have set a new benchmark in this genre.

It's the season for comics, with San Diego's Comic-con in full gear and other smaller versions taking place this summer around the country including Gen-con here in Indianapolis, but Islamic comics? It's certainly not something we would immediately think to connect with the Islamic experience, but if standard imagery types and messages are held in check, why not? Assuming they will be, and there will be no images of God or the Prophet, I look forward to the success of Sufi-comics and to adding one to my own collection. Preferably signed but not necessarily so.
