"Change of Heart" deals with an extremely timely topic that may be more pertinent for Islamic Reverts or Muslims in America. Cultural biases may make it a more difficult sell outside of America but the film is worthy of further discussion.
Noor, the film's main character has to come to grips with his 'unawareness' of his wife Marayam's prior history before accepting Islam. This is a situation I am sure some of us may have to deal with. He applies the typical 'male chauvinistic' view, what was wrong for him is valued differently from what may have been wrong for her.
I like the film's handling of the subject. A more tolerant Islamic culture is developing here in America and this short story shows a glimpse of it.
There is a message the film portrays that when it comes to men and women, Allah (SWT) judges and forgives the same.
Sometimes, as men, we lose sight of this.
