Alchemiya offers uplifting content for Muslims on streaming platform

The Alchemiya streaming service is offering a limited promotion to watch its content for three months for a small fee. Alchemiya currently has over 50 films, documentaries and lifestyle programmes on offer, with new content added regularly. The films are streamed over the Internet onto connected devices like phones and laptops, and not downloaded.

According to Alchemiya's founders, there is also little content for a Muslim audience, which is "young, well-educated, politically aware and socially conscious". The platform presents uplifting content and a side of Muslims and Islam that is widely unknown.

"There is a lot of misinformation and lack of understanding about our faith. It is our intention to create content that breaks down negative stereotypes and makes people reconsider their views," the company states on its website.

Alchemiya will also support creatives producing Muslim-related content by giving them paid commissions and promoting their work. "We are also on the hunt for the next generation," the founders said.
