With Ramadan being the month of forgiveness and purification of body, mind and soul, Geo Television and 7th Sky Entertainment have put the very essence of this month into its drama series Makafaat which has arrived with its second season this year. Here is what you can look forward to in these series.

Why is empathy important?

This short series helps us picture how our society really operates. It exposes us to morally complex situations on screen, so that we can be better prepared to take the right steps in a similar situation in our lives. Empathy is putting yourself in someone else’s shoes. Developing it contributes to developing our character.

Reality check

Makafaat is an wakeup call to reconsider our decisions. Oftentimes our decisions that lack empathy lead us to consequences that cannot be undone.

Repentance of sin

The series reminds us of times we might have treated someone unfairly, which can help us seek forgiveness. Our dear Prophet (PBUH) said that: “The best of creation, would seek repentance over 70 times a day; repentance from a sin reduces its sweetness — it discourages you from doing it again.” 

Self-purification

We won’t be able to purify our soul unless we open our heart to the purity of intention. Drama series Makafaat teaches us to free our heart of spiritual sins such as greed, malice, envy, arrogance, and worldliness.

Adopt spiritual value

Makafaat carries life lessons that encourage us to adopt the values of generosity, compassion, benevolence, humility, and asceticism.

The series has been penned by Saqlain Abbas, Huma Hina Nafees, Rehan Zaheer Siddiqui, Anwar Gillani, Wajiha Warsi, Samina Ejaz, Umar Qazi, Ramia Salma, Farzana Imran and Mehrunnisa Mustaqeem Khan, and is directed by Saleem Ghanchi (who also helmed the series last year).

Makafaat airs every day at 7:00 PM as part of Geo TV’s Ehsaas Ramzan transmission.
