As salamu alaikum

Can anyone recommend some good videos or audio lectures (English) to watch/listen to instead of Peace TV? It's true there is good in it, but there is also bad (my older sister has become vehemently la-madhhab from watching it, now my mum is starting to go that way too). My mum spends a lot of time watching this when she's home alone, and the barelwi channels (I can't say anything of that since I can't understand urdu). I'd rather wean her onto something safer for her deen. I've searched the interwebz, but it's so hard to know who you can trust and who you can't, so I'd prefer personal recommendation.

Anyway, I want to download them onto DVD and she can watch those. I know there's a lot of stuff on youtube, but the quality is so low, it's unwatchable on our TV. So just simple things, like seerah, behaviour, comparative religion, and so on, nothing too in-depth.

Jazakallah khayr.

PS I've showed her the Naik vs madhhab article on muftisays, which she won't read as "they just have a vendetta" against him cos he's "taking money that they want"??? Even his "I can name you 1000 things Allah can't do" wasn't enough to prove he speaks of things with no knowledge (she says it's taken out of context even though I showed her the actual book). I don't want to turn this into a debate, we have enough of those already, but I would appreciate a simple summary of why one shouldn't take deeni knowledge from him, if that's okay.
