A great emotional and inspirational series to watch. I was moved to tears many times. The character of Khalid ibn al-Walid(R.A) is so inspiring and is also portrayed very well. Islamic history and traditions are shown without spreading any propaganda. Such type of series should be made more often as Islamic history is very vast. This will remind people what they were before Islam and what they achieved after Islam prevailed by following the commands of Allah and Prophet Muhammad(P.B.U.H). This will allow us to think what we have become now, as we abandoned the commands of Allah and Prophet Muhammad(P.B.U.H). We can achieve all the glory shown in the series again and even more only if we follow right path and avoid following the evil one.
... View MoreInspiring series, see real life heroes in action, a lot to learn from as quoted "The production explicitly showcases the path of "Al Farrouq" and the characteristics of equality, good governance, justice, tolerance, wisdom, compassion and leadership among others. It further sheds light on the personal values of the Khalifa"Awesome direction and superb acting by almost all of the actors, seems like you are back in the days...One of the best Islamic productions ever made. The series starts with the life of Umar (RA) in the pre-Islamic Arabia, and then continues with his life at the time of the mission of the prophet (PBUH), his conversion to Islam, the caliphate of Abu Bakr (RA) and finally, the Caliphate of Umar (RA) himself. The series is as accurate as it was possible without showing the prophet (PBUH).The series is very well made. One of the most positive points of the series is that it lays great emphasis on the teachings of Islam, and how they changed the society of the time from the days of ignorance and injustice to the justice of Islam. It shows the efforts and the sacrifices of the companions of the prophet in spreading the message of Islam.The Series really touches the heart. It increases the love of the companions.In the end, all that I would like to say is that, although the series may not be perfect in every sense, it is a source of a lot of good. It is a series not to missed.
... View MoreThis is probably the greatest epic made for TV ever, and would probably rival many movies of this genre too, and the acting and scope of the world is just mind blowing. The art direction, acting and incredible sets are as breathtaking as the massive scope of the series. It's a wonderful Series! It's the most expensive TV-Production of 200 Million SAR. It contains 30 episodes. Each episode is Epic. The Series also gives depiction of the birth of Islam. The plot focuses on the historical events. It's accurate in that it tries to present the birth of Islam as most people today probably learn it. Definitely it's not a propaganda piece. Its production and cinematography is much better than high budget HBO TV Series.
... View MoreOnce i started the series i could not stop until i watched all the episodes. Excellent work done by director, producer and wonderful acting of the cast has made it unforgettable work. Some people would criticize about the personification of the companions(R.A) but in my view, whoever watches the whole series gets more in love with them. This series is highly recommended for non-Muslims who want to learn how Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h.) trained ordinary people in such a way that they conquered half of the world within a decade and maintained high degree of morals, characters, justice and ideal administration. The series enlightens their way of life in a realistic humanly manner rather than superstitious.
