Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:02:35,371 --> 00:02:40,451
Where is Abu Bakr,
Uthman, Abu Ubaidah
2
00:02:40,571 --> 00:02:42,451
or Abd Al-Rahman Ibn Awf?
3
00:02:43,091 --> 00:02:47,491
We only know of his followers those
who belong to clans that protect them.
4
00:02:47,611 --> 00:02:51,131
Hence, they were prepared
to declare their faith.
5
00:02:51,251 --> 00:02:57,251
Besides, these are wise
and sensible men, or so we thought.
6
00:02:58,091 --> 00:03:04,611
How can we protect our slaves, servants
and those who are not so sensible?
7
00:03:05,651 --> 00:03:07,411
Abu Al-Waleed.
8
00:03:09,331 --> 00:03:12,531
Had Muhammad said what he said
then took himself away,
9
00:03:13,291 --> 00:03:16,331
like Waraqah Ibn Nawfal
10
00:03:16,451 --> 00:03:20,211
and Zaid Ibn Amr Ibn Nafeel did,
the matter would have been simple.
11
00:03:20,331 --> 00:03:23,651
- We would have left him to himself.
- Yes!
12
00:03:23,771 --> 00:03:29,611
But he claims that he is a Prophet,
a messenger of God,
13
00:03:29,731 --> 00:03:36,891
assigned to deliver a message.
Whoever obeys him is safe.
14
00:03:37,011 --> 00:03:43,611
Whoever obeys him is safe,
and whoever disobeys him ruins himself.
15
00:03:43,731 --> 00:03:48,611
Anyone who joins him disobeys us.
16
00:03:49,251 --> 00:03:56,131
By Al-Lat, this is not a word
a man says and goes away,
17
00:03:56,251 --> 00:03:59,491
or comes back to us obeying
what we say.
18
00:04:00,731 --> 00:04:06,331
When he disowns our idols
he declares his rebellion against us.
19
00:04:06,891 --> 00:04:11,571
When his followers increase,
our numbers decrease,
20
00:04:12,131 --> 00:04:18,171
until we lose our standing with them
and have no control over them.
21
00:04:23,131 --> 00:04:28,891
Are we to leave him alone
until the matter gets out of hand?
22
00:04:36,651 --> 00:04:39,171
You have taken your time, Bilal,
before bringing us our drinks.
23
00:04:39,291 --> 00:04:42,011
I could not have started with the young
men of Quraysh before its elders.
24
00:04:42,131 --> 00:04:44,131
We certainly need the drinks
more than elders
25
00:04:44,251 --> 00:04:45,931
whose bones have thinned
and whose strength is gone.
26
00:04:46,051 --> 00:04:48,491
Hush! Someone may hear you.
27
00:04:48,611 --> 00:04:52,011
- Do you still fear your father?
- Yes, until he is in his grave.
28
00:04:52,131 --> 00:04:55,571
How did you allow Jubair Ibn Mut'im's
slave to beat you the other day?
29
00:04:55,691 --> 00:04:57,491
Wahshi?
30
00:04:57,611 --> 00:05:01,371
He is stronger than me.
Could things be achieved by mere wishes,
31
00:05:01,491 --> 00:05:03,891
life order would have been
turned upside down.
32
00:05:04,011 --> 00:05:06,291
Very true. You could have been
sitting with the elders,
33
00:05:06,411 --> 00:05:09,691
explaining your views and stating
what to do about Muhammad.
34
00:05:09,811 --> 00:05:11,531
You could be obeyed by all.
35
00:05:14,011 --> 00:05:16,451
Do you really wish that, Bilal?
36
00:05:17,611 --> 00:05:19,771
Had it been possible for people
to see what others wish and hope,
37
00:05:19,891 --> 00:05:22,131
they would only meet with swords in hands.
38
00:05:22,251 --> 00:05:25,691
What can my organs do
when you have owned them?
39
00:05:29,491 --> 00:05:32,811
My duty is that of a slave:
to milk the sheep, tend the camels,
40
00:05:32,931 --> 00:05:35,251
carry the water and attend you
when you meet.
41
00:05:35,371 --> 00:05:38,771
Had you been as excellent in spear
fighting as you are in these matters,
42
00:05:38,891 --> 00:05:41,131
you would have given us all we need.
43
00:05:41,251 --> 00:05:44,051
It is not normal in life that things
should be perfect.
44
00:05:44,171 --> 00:05:46,331
Otherwise, people would have
had no need for one another.
45
00:05:50,091 --> 00:05:53,571
I never realized that he is so wise.
46
00:05:53,691 --> 00:05:56,331
He would have been more valuable
had he been better with the spear.
47
00:05:58,771 --> 00:06:04,291
A slave with a mind is much more
dangerous than a slave with a spear.
48
00:06:09,451 --> 00:06:16,291
You have mentioned certain things
and overlooked others.
49
00:06:17,731 --> 00:06:21,771
You mentioned Quraysh
but not the rest of the Arabs.
50
00:06:21,891 --> 00:06:28,771
Yet you know that many of them envy you
your position of wealth and strength.
51
00:06:29,411 --> 00:06:31,411
They only accept your leadership
because of the authority
52
00:06:31,531 --> 00:06:34,371
of the religion we all follow,
53
00:06:36,811 --> 00:06:42,851
and the sanctity of the Kaabah
of which you are the custodians.
54
00:06:43,811 --> 00:06:48,691
Muhammad claims that his message
is to all mankind,
55
00:06:48,811 --> 00:06:51,971
but he started with
his own people and tribesmen.
56
00:06:53,051 --> 00:06:57,171
It is only a matter of time before he
addresses himself to other Arab tribes.
57
00:06:57,291 --> 00:07:01,251
Some of them may find in this
an opportunity to rebel against you,
58
00:07:01,371 --> 00:07:06,331
follow Muhammad and fight you
with some of your own numbers.
59
00:07:06,451 --> 00:07:08,971
And that would be very bad indeed.
60
00:07:09,091 --> 00:07:14,851
Besides, why would God choose Muhammad
to be his Prophet and messenger
61
00:07:14,971 --> 00:07:18,571
when there are among us people
who are richer and higher in position?
62
00:07:18,691 --> 00:07:22,011
- Yes!
- Abu Al-Hakam!
63
00:07:23,091 --> 00:07:29,571
If Muhammad is lying, he would not
claim prophethood for anyone else.
64
00:07:30,091 --> 00:07:33,571
If he is telling the truth,
then God chooses whomever He will,
65
00:07:33,691 --> 00:07:36,251
consulting no one.
66
00:07:36,371 --> 00:07:42,211
You make it hard for us, Abu Al-Waleed.
Do you want us to leave Muhammad alone?
67
00:07:53,811 --> 00:07:56,051
You, the Quraysh elders, know very well
68
00:07:57,771 --> 00:08:02,091
that the Hashimites will not give up
Muhammad to you...
69
00:08:02,211 --> 00:08:05,611
although they may continue
to follow your faith
70
00:08:05,731 --> 00:08:09,451
- without a bitter fight.
- By God, we are ready.
71
00:08:09,571 --> 00:08:12,371
Then we precipitate
what we are trying to avoid:
72
00:08:12,491 --> 00:08:18,451
severed relations with kindred,
disunity and weakness.
73
00:08:18,571 --> 00:08:20,571
Others will then be tempted
to have a go at us.
74
00:08:24,891 --> 00:08:30,131
Hasn't someone said that
if it was merely a word he says
75
00:08:30,251 --> 00:08:35,691
and we go back to our familiar
way of life, it would have been easy?
76
00:08:37,931 --> 00:08:42,891
Then, what we really fear
in regard to Muhammad's message
77
00:08:44,011 --> 00:08:45,971
is the consequences we have mentioned.
78
00:08:46,651 --> 00:08:51,931
Are we then to precipitate these
by resorting to the sword?
79
00:08:56,411 --> 00:08:58,131
What s your view, then?
80
00:08:58,251 --> 00:09:01,291
I think we better speak
to his uncle Abu Talib.
81
00:09:02,251 --> 00:09:06,051
No one loves his people
and is kinder to them than Abu Talib.
82
00:09:06,171 --> 00:09:08,451
He loves to see them united.
83
00:09:10,131 --> 00:09:13,691
It is he who can stop Muhammad.
84
00:09:13,811 --> 00:09:18,011
If he does,
then you achieve what you want.
85
00:09:20,531 --> 00:09:23,091
How could you disagree with me,
86
00:09:23,211 --> 00:09:25,611
your maternal uncle,
in front of the Abd Manaf elders?
87
00:09:25,731 --> 00:09:27,731
Isn't the purpose of the meeting that
everyone expresses his opinion
88
00:09:27,851 --> 00:09:31,931
so that we may agree the best course
of action to achieve the desired result?
89
00:09:32,051 --> 00:09:35,891
All you did was to show that your view
is better than your uncle's.
90
00:09:36,011 --> 00:09:37,175
Is that how you
show dutifulness?
91
00:09:37,217 --> 00:09:39,011
The question here is
not one of dutifulness.
92
00:09:39,131 --> 00:09:41,891
We are all pursuing the same goal,
but with different means.
93
00:09:42,011 --> 00:09:44,171
And you undermine my position
in front of Utbah
94
00:09:44,291 --> 00:09:46,611
and the Abd Manaf elders?
95
00:09:46,731 --> 00:09:49,971
We didn't meet in a competition
of views, so as to say.
96
00:09:50,091 --> 00:09:53,891
Our meeting was to devise a way
to set Quraysh on the right course.
97
00:09:54,011 --> 00:09:56,771
I wouldn't conceal an opinion
which I believe to do just that,
98
00:09:56,891 --> 00:09:59,491
even though it might agree with the Abd
Manaf people and disagree with my uncles.
99
00:09:59,611 --> 00:10:06,091
I disagree with Muhammad;
not because of anything personal.
100
00:10:06,211 --> 00:10:09,771
All people know that
whoever denounces him is a liar.
101
00:10:09,891 --> 00:10:12,691
I don't disagree with him because of any
envy I bear against the Hashimites.
102
00:10:12,811 --> 00:10:16,451
Had he belonged to Adiy, I would still
maintain the same attitude to him.
103
00:10:16,571 --> 00:10:21,011
This may be your view,
but it is not the view of Utbah,
104
00:10:21,131 --> 00:10:24,331
or the others from Abd Shams
and Abd Manaf.
105
00:10:24,451 --> 00:10:28,771
Haven't you seen how he tries
to paint the matter as not so serious?
106
00:10:28,891 --> 00:10:32,331
He only does so because of his relations
with the Hadhimites.
107
00:10:32,451 --> 00:10:34,611
They all belong to Abd Manaf.
108
00:10:34,731 --> 00:10:38,891
Yet it may be that the closest relatives
compete for supremacy.
109
00:10:39,011 --> 00:10:42,851
Everyone thinks himself equal
to his cousin, and will not let him lead.
110
00:10:42,971 --> 00:10:45,811
This has always been the case between
the clans of Abd Shams and Hashim.
111
00:10:45,931 --> 00:10:50,291
But should Makhzoom take the lead,
its people will overlook past differences
112
00:10:50,411 --> 00:10:53,171
and remember only that
they all belong to Abd Manaf.
113
00:10:53,291 --> 00:10:57,131
We have competed with
the clan of Abd Manaf for honours:
114
00:10:57,251 --> 00:11:00,771
they fed the poor, and we did the same;
115
00:11:00,891 --> 00:11:03,011
they provided generous support to those
who needed it and we did the same.
116
00:11:03,131 --> 00:11:07,611
When we were together on the same level,
like two racehorses running neck and neck,
117
00:11:07,731 --> 00:11:11,811
they said that one of their numbers was a
Prophet receiving revelations from Heaven!
118
00:11:11,931 --> 00:11:16,211
When can we, the Makhzooms,
attain such an honour?
119
00:11:16,331 --> 00:11:21,291
By God, we shall never believe in him,
even though he might produce every proof.
120
00:11:21,411 --> 00:11:24,171
We will be hostile to him for life.
121
00:11:25,171 --> 00:11:28,531
If his clan, the Hashimites,
insist on protecting him,
122
00:11:28,651 --> 00:11:31,411
we will fight them, come what may.
123
00:11:32,451 --> 00:11:35,531
Umar, learn this from your uncle.
124
00:11:49,811 --> 00:11:56,091
I saw you presenting a moderate stance,
opposing Abu Al-Hakam's extreme view.
125
00:11:56,851 --> 00:12:00,611
By Al-Lat, he is not as angry
with Muhammad as we are,
126
00:12:00,731 --> 00:12:03,531
but is envious of Abd Manaf,
127
00:12:03,651 --> 00:12:06,131
with both its branches,
Hashim and Abd Shams.
128
00:12:07,731 --> 00:12:13,451
The man is sharp and stupid,
yet strong and intelligent.
129
00:12:14,571 --> 00:12:18,451
To me, the strap of Muhammad's shoes
is more valuable than Abu Al-Hakam,
130
00:12:18,571 --> 00:12:20,931
except for the fact that Muhammad
has abandoned our faith
131
00:12:21,051 --> 00:12:23,411
and criticized our elders.
132
00:12:23,531 --> 00:12:29,051
Yet, what is he envious for?
If this is evil as we all see it,
133
00:12:29,171 --> 00:12:33,211
Muhammad has placed us
with all people at the same level,
134
00:12:33,331 --> 00:12:36,811
starting with his immediate kinsfolk.
135
00:12:36,931 --> 00:12:41,371
Since Muhammad has equally included
his own clan in the evil he has brought up,
136
00:12:43,251 --> 00:12:46,731
it behoves us all to collaborate
in stopping him.
137
00:12:47,811 --> 00:12:52,571
On this we agree with Makhzoom
and the rest of Quraysh.
138
00:12:53,611 --> 00:12:56,251
Hind is right, Abu Al-Waleed.
139
00:12:57,451 --> 00:12:59,891
A man's testimony for his wife!
140
00:13:00,011 --> 00:13:03,171
It is not right that a man's testimony
for his wife
141
00:13:03,291 --> 00:13:05,811
should be better than
that of a father for his daughter.
142
00:13:07,171 --> 00:13:10,491
Had Hind been a man, she would
have been the master of her people.
143
00:13:10,611 --> 00:13:16,811
It would have been Abu Sufyan's loss:
he loses a wife without winning position.
144
00:13:21,851 --> 00:13:24,691
Abu Talib's orphan is a Prophet,
145
00:13:25,251 --> 00:13:30,171
and I, his uncle,
have to follow him and obey him!
146
00:13:30,291 --> 00:13:32,211
You are better placed to be the Prophet.
147
00:13:32,331 --> 00:13:36,411
Yes, I do deserve it more than him.
148
00:13:36,531 --> 00:13:39,331
To me, this is the evidence
that he is a liar.
149
00:13:39,771 --> 00:13:45,211
Had it been true, it would not have
missed me and been given to him.
150
00:13:45,331 --> 00:13:50,331
Huh! It is not enough that he claims it
for himself and boasts over me.
151
00:13:50,451 --> 00:13:53,051
Worse still, he makes us targets
for all Arabian tribes.
152
00:13:53,171 --> 00:13:55,331
He wins the privilege
and we shoulder the responsibility.
153
00:13:55,451 --> 00:13:57,651
Haven't you disowned him and his action?
154
00:13:57,771 --> 00:14:04,771
I did. I am indeed his fiercest enemy.
Quraysh knows that.
155
00:14:04,891 --> 00:14:11,211
- Then you are absolved of his evil.
- Yes, I am.
156
00:14:11,731 --> 00:14:19,691
But the Hashimites.
They have obeyed Abu Talib, not me.
157
00:14:20,491 --> 00:14:24,651
Would you have seen
how they looked at me,
158
00:14:24,771 --> 00:14:27,451
just like people look at a camel
with scabies.
159
00:14:28,851 --> 00:14:31,651
If the rest of Quraysh
have absolved me of his evil,
160
00:14:31,771 --> 00:14:34,331
the Hashimites have denounced me
161
00:14:34,451 --> 00:14:37,131
for not toeing their line
of protecting Muhammad.
162
00:14:37,251 --> 00:14:40,411
Then there will be those Arabs
who would say
163
00:14:40,531 --> 00:14:42,971
that I have collaborated
against my own nephew,
164
00:14:43,091 --> 00:14:45,931
paying no heed for the ties of kinship.
165
00:14:46,051 --> 00:14:48,571
This is a grave error
in the view of all Arabs.
166
00:14:51,171 --> 00:14:57,771
Umm Jameel, do you see my predicament?
I am the loser, however I turn.
167
00:14:57,891 --> 00:15:00,491
This is where Muhammad has landed me.
168
00:15:00,611 --> 00:15:08,211
Isn't he dispraised?
Yes, he is. Damn him.
169
00:15:08,331 --> 00:15:11,651
By God, I will do my utmost
to foil his efforts.
170
00:15:11,771 --> 00:15:15,891
I shall castigate him
and bring him low, until people say:
171
00:15:16,011 --> 00:15:20,131
his uncle is testifying against him.
Had he been telling the truth,
172
00:15:20,251 --> 00:15:22,491
he would have been the first
to support and defend him.
173
00:15:22,611 --> 00:15:25,971
Do that, Abu Mu'attib.
Al-Lat and Al-Uzza will be with you,
174
00:15:26,091 --> 00:15:29,251
and I am with you.
You will see what I will do to him.
175
00:15:31,051 --> 00:15:34,371
Damn him! Damn him!
176
00:16:04,451 --> 00:16:07,411
My brother Umar,
how happy I am to see you.
177
00:16:07,531 --> 00:16:10,731
- How are you, sister?
- I am well as long as you are with us.
178
00:16:10,851 --> 00:16:13,531
- And you, Saeed?
- I am well, enjoying good blessings.
179
00:16:13,651 --> 00:16:18,251
You are here? You prefer your sister's
and cousin's company to mine.
180
00:16:18,371 --> 00:16:20,331
No one replaces Umar.
181
00:16:20,451 --> 00:16:23,611
- May I bring you some food or drink?
- Just water
182
00:16:26,811 --> 00:16:28,451
How did you find the people?
183
00:16:30,411 --> 00:16:33,371
They have the same goal,
but different means.
184
00:16:34,091 --> 00:16:39,531
This does not bode well
for Quraysh if it remains so.
185
00:16:44,131 --> 00:16:45,651
Won't you explain?
186
00:16:45,771 --> 00:16:50,811
All of them seek the same goal, which
is to stop Muhammad and end his call,
187
00:16:51,451 --> 00:16:58,531
but they cannot agree the cause.
Some envy the Abd Manaf clan.
188
00:16:58,651 --> 00:17:02,011
Some from Abd Manaf envy
the Hashimites,
189
00:17:02,131 --> 00:17:05,731
and some Hashimites envy
the Abd Al-Muttalib branch,
190
00:17:05,851 --> 00:17:12,771
and some in that branch envy
Muhammad. Foul then is the cause.
191
00:17:15,731 --> 00:17:19,171
What is the harm in having different
causes if the aim is the same?
192
00:17:19,291 --> 00:17:22,811
When the causes of hostility differ,
the routes differ,
193
00:17:22,931 --> 00:17:29,811
and this leads to missing the goal.
Then they sat blaming each other.
194
00:17:29,931 --> 00:17:31,651
They were in a situation
where their own Differences
195
00:17:31,771 --> 00:17:34,171
were greater than their conflict
with Muhammad.
196
00:17:41,331 --> 00:17:47,011
Results cannot be achieved in this way.
No, they cannot.
197
00:17:47,131 --> 00:17:50,371
Haven't you explained to them
how they can be achieved?
198
00:17:50,491 --> 00:17:52,611
Yes, indeed I did.
199
00:17:53,851 --> 00:17:56,411
This angered my uncle Abu Al-Hakam.
200
00:17:56,531 --> 00:17:59,691
Your uncle, Abu Al-Hakam!
Quraysh will perish if they obey him.
201
00:17:59,811 --> 00:18:03,691
- He is my uncle, anyway.
- I don't envy you that,
202
00:18:03,811 --> 00:18:07,051
but I would love to be the same
as you in everything else.
203
00:18:07,171 --> 00:18:09,131
Yet I am happy that we have
the same father,
204
00:18:09,251 --> 00:18:11,411
although we have different mothers.
205
00:18:11,531 --> 00:18:14,491
By God,
I love you more than anyone else.
206
00:18:15,731 --> 00:18:19,931
I know that you are dutiful to your
maternal uncles. Dutifulness is good,
207
00:18:20,611 --> 00:18:24,011
but I also know that my brother,
Umar Ibn Al-Khattab,
208
00:18:24,451 --> 00:18:27,331
will only use his wisdom
for a good purpose.
209
00:18:27,451 --> 00:18:30,651
If he decides something
and then finds a better alternative,
210
00:18:30,771 --> 00:18:32,771
he would have no problem
choosing what is better.
211
00:18:33,331 --> 00:18:36,091
What we see of Umar is what he is like.
212
00:18:36,211 --> 00:18:40,011
He does not sway to please anyone
or for fear of anyone.
213
00:18:40,891 --> 00:18:44,611
What he determines
to be right is his religion,
214
00:18:44,731 --> 00:18:46,571
no matter who is pleased with it
and who is not,
215
00:18:46,691 --> 00:18:49,491
even if it may be his uncle,
Abu Al-Hakam Ibn Hisham.
216
00:19:29,411 --> 00:19:33,971
Do not be disheartened by your
lack of strength or small number,
217
00:19:34,091 --> 00:19:39,211
or by the power enjoyed by the
Quraysh masters and their arrogance.
218
00:19:39,331 --> 00:19:42,771
By God other than whom
there is no deity,
219
00:19:42,891 --> 00:19:45,251
what God and His messenger
have promised shall come true.
220
00:19:45,371 --> 00:19:48,811
This faith shall reach the furthest
points in the east and the west.
221
00:19:48,931 --> 00:19:52,051
And God shall give us the kingdom
of Persia and Byzantium.
222
00:19:52,931 --> 00:19:55,131
Are you referring to
the Persians and the Byzantines?
223
00:19:55,251 --> 00:19:57,131
You think it to be too far away,
don't you?
224
00:19:57,251 --> 00:20:01,611
- Yes.
- Yet, to God it is close at hand.
225
00:20:01,731 --> 00:20:04,851
If you today suffer hardship
on account of your faith,
226
00:20:04,971 --> 00:20:08,371
remember the future God has promised.
227
00:20:08,491 --> 00:20:11,291
You will then find your present
hardship easier to bear.
228
00:20:12,171 --> 00:20:14,651
We do believe what the Prophet says,
Abu Bakr;
229
00:20:14,771 --> 00:20:17,371
and we do believe that God's promise
will certainly come true.
230
00:20:17,491 --> 00:20:21,211
But Islam will not be triumphant
unless the Arabs,
231
00:20:21,331 --> 00:20:26,531
and these people of Quraysh who are
hard against God and His messenger,
232
00:20:26,651 --> 00:20:28,851
trying to turn us away of our faith,
shall become Muslims.
233
00:20:28,971 --> 00:20:32,811
Yes, indeed. They shall all embrace Islam,
234
00:20:32,931 --> 00:20:38,011
except for those who will die
before this faith will prevail.
235
00:20:39,211 --> 00:20:42,491
You shall see many a person
who is hostile to you today
236
00:20:42,611 --> 00:20:45,451
will be your brother in faith tomorrow.
237
00:20:45,571 --> 00:20:49,451
Therefore, I am telling
you to take it easy.
238
00:20:49,571 --> 00:20:55,011
Let not the present hostility of Quraysh
towards you cause you to despair of them.
239
00:20:55,131 --> 00:20:59,451
Kindness and gentle treatment
always bring better results.
240
00:21:00,371 --> 00:21:05,291
Indeed. Firmness in sticking
to the truth in hard times
241
00:21:05,411 --> 00:21:07,771
will bring different results to those
which a hard attitude brings.
242
00:21:07,891 --> 00:21:10,691
Falsehood cannot be countered
by a similar falsehood.
243
00:21:10,811 --> 00:21:16,051
It is refuted by the truth. Bad manners
are countered by good manners.
244
00:21:16,171 --> 00:21:20,371
A harsh opponent is best repelled
by forbearance and wisdom.
245
00:21:20,491 --> 00:21:24,211
Otherwise, our opponents will prevail
as they force us to adopt their manners.
246
00:21:30,291 --> 00:21:33,571
- You?
- You don't seem pleased to see me.
247
00:21:37,411 --> 00:21:41,211
I did not challenge you.
It is your master whom you should blame.
248
00:21:42,291 --> 00:21:47,011
What could I have done?
It is either I win or you win.
249
00:21:47,691 --> 00:21:50,611
Was it necessary that you should
put all your strength in it,
250
00:21:50,731 --> 00:21:56,251
- as though you were fighting an enemy.
- We only do that to please our masters.
251
00:21:56,371 --> 00:22:00,011
Would you kill me if your master
orders you to do it?
252
00:22:00,131 --> 00:22:04,691
- Only if it gains me my freedom.
- What a cruel camel you are.
253
00:22:04,811 --> 00:22:07,491
It is a quality of praise for a slave,
but not for anyone else.
254
00:22:07,611 --> 00:22:11,531
What is surprising? Would you not do
it if you could gain your freedom?
255
00:22:11,651 --> 00:22:15,051
- I won't.
- This is because you are used to slavery.
256
00:22:15,171 --> 00:22:18,491
Leave off. Who could get used to
humiliation and slavery?
257
00:22:20,091 --> 00:22:22,491
Do you have a drink that
your master might have left?
258
00:22:22,611 --> 00:22:24,651
Wahshi, you still drink too much.
259
00:22:24,771 --> 00:22:26,411
Without it, I would either
slay someone or be slain.
260
00:22:26,531 --> 00:22:27,891
You will never change.
261
00:22:28,011 --> 00:22:30,811
Only a person who is his
own master can change.
262
00:22:30,931 --> 00:22:32,611
How far we are from that.
263
00:22:34,371 --> 00:22:40,571
Do you know, Bilal,
we are so different, except in colour.
264
00:22:40,691 --> 00:22:42,651
Yet it is enough for me
to be friends with you.
265
00:22:42,771 --> 00:22:44,531
No, it is not.
266
00:22:44,651 --> 00:22:48,571
People get closer to each other through
their minds, feelings and preferences.
267
00:22:48,691 --> 00:22:50,331
Really?
268
00:22:50,451 --> 00:22:53,331
Show me a man from Quraysh who is
happy to say that you are close to him
269
00:22:53,451 --> 00:22:55,691
in mind, feelings and preferences.
270
00:23:03,971 --> 00:23:06,891
Huh! Why don't you answer,
son of Hamamah?
271
00:23:08,971 --> 00:23:12,331
- I am Rabah's son.
- No, the son of Hamamah.
272
00:23:12,451 --> 00:23:15,411
This is how they call you,
after your mother
273
00:23:15,531 --> 00:23:19,411
who was an Abyssinian slave woman.
It does not matter who your father was.
274
00:23:19,531 --> 00:23:21,811
Have you come to spoil my night?
275
00:23:21,931 --> 00:23:24,611
Is there for the likes of us
a night they fear to be spoilt?
276
00:23:29,891 --> 00:23:34,171
Where do you go these days?
You seem difficult to find.
277
00:23:36,091 --> 00:23:38,251
On some errands for my master.
278
00:23:39,491 --> 00:23:41,611
I don't think you are telling me the truth.
279
00:23:41,731 --> 00:23:45,531
If it is something good, share it with me.
280
00:23:45,651 --> 00:23:48,211
It is not right that you hide it from me.
281
00:23:48,331 --> 00:23:52,891
- What do I have to hide from you?
- This is what I am asking you.
282
00:23:54,611 --> 00:23:56,571
I have nothing in answer.
283
00:24:20,331 --> 00:24:25,811
Abu Talib, you are meeting
this delegation once more.
284
00:24:26,491 --> 00:24:31,531
We put our case to you last time,
speaking gently to you.
285
00:24:31,651 --> 00:24:38,491
You gave us some fine words,
and we thought you will do as we asked.
286
00:24:41,531 --> 00:24:46,331
However, we only find your nephew
persisting with what he started,
287
00:24:46,451 --> 00:24:48,371
and that more and more are joining him.
288
00:24:48,491 --> 00:24:52,771
The less wise among us are accusing
us of weakness and helplessness.
289
00:24:52,891 --> 00:24:58,931
They have almost said to us:
unless you deal with him we will,
290
00:24:59,051 --> 00:25:01,251
even though it means that
we don't listen to you.
291
00:25:01,371 --> 00:25:07,851
Here we come to you again to say that
292
00:25:07,971 --> 00:25:15,011
things have reached the limit with us.
We will no longer tolerate this situation
293
00:25:15,131 --> 00:25:19,131
in which our gods and forefathers are
denounced and our elders are berated.
294
00:25:19,251 --> 00:25:23,971
You must stop him or else we will
fight him and you too,
295
00:25:24,091 --> 00:25:27,411
until one party perishes.
296
00:25:52,371 --> 00:25:55,131
What say you?
297
00:26:12,291 --> 00:26:16,451
By God, they were unfair to him.
298
00:26:16,571 --> 00:26:19,531
Should Abu Talib give up his nephew
and hand him over to them,
299
00:26:19,651 --> 00:26:21,691
he would lose my respect.
300
00:26:21,811 --> 00:26:24,931
Where would be all moral values?
Where would ties of kindred be?
301
00:26:25,051 --> 00:26:27,771
Aren't such values a religion to the Arabs
302
00:26:27,891 --> 00:26:30,691
How can they ask Abu Talib
to disregard them?
303
00:26:30,811 --> 00:26:34,291
He would lose all respect
and would be denounced for ever.
304
00:26:36,411 --> 00:26:38,291
But you were with them.
305
00:26:41,371 --> 00:26:45,651
I advised against it, but they would
not listen. They are the elders,
306
00:26:45,771 --> 00:26:48,611
and I cannot split away from them
when they have agreed something.
307
00:26:49,571 --> 00:26:53,131
- I am just one of them.
- You are getting us confused, Umar.
308
00:26:53,251 --> 00:26:56,371
When Muhammad and his faith
are mentioned, you are the most hostile.
309
00:26:56,491 --> 00:26:59,171
We may think that you will go after him
to kill him.
310
00:26:59,291 --> 00:27:02,731
When your people think of clashing
with the Hashimites over Muhammad,
311
00:27:02,851 --> 00:27:06,571
you angrily criticize them.
What do you want?
312
00:27:07,731 --> 00:27:11,531
What good morality and integrity require.
313
00:27:13,771 --> 00:27:18,731
I am only criticizing their view for the
same reason I am hostile to Muhammad.
314
00:27:19,331 --> 00:27:23,851
They say that Muhammad has criticized
our religion, berated our elders,
315
00:27:23,971 --> 00:27:26,451
and caused disunity among us.
All this is true.
316
00:27:26,571 --> 00:27:28,411
Hence, we should be against him.
317
00:27:30,451 --> 00:27:35,091
Then they try to persuade Abu Talib
to give up his nephew
318
00:27:35,211 --> 00:27:38,091
when they know that
this is against Arab tradition
319
00:27:38,211 --> 00:27:44,091
and moral values which they extol
in their poetry.
320
00:27:45,651 --> 00:27:47,931
They neither accept Muhammad's message
321
00:27:48,051 --> 00:27:51,811
nor stick to their forefathers' traditions.
322
00:27:52,411 --> 00:27:55,651
The one who thinks
that he can only win the war
323
00:27:55,771 --> 00:27:58,211
by compromising his moral values
will certainly come unstuck.
324
00:28:02,571 --> 00:28:05,611
I am certainly unhappy with how matters
have developed in this city of ours.
325
00:28:06,371 --> 00:28:10,171
Would that I am back tending
Al-Khattab's camels
326
00:28:10,291 --> 00:28:12,811
in an open desert that sharpens
vision and perception.
327
00:28:13,491 --> 00:28:16,331
It remains untainted by creatures.
328
00:28:26,571 --> 00:28:29,051
I have brought you some date paste
from Yathrib.
329
00:28:29,611 --> 00:28:33,491
Is it squeezed with butter?
Wahshi does not accept anything less.
330
00:28:33,611 --> 00:28:35,451
Great is your vanity.
331
00:28:36,491 --> 00:28:41,091
- You have stolen it from your master.
- Is that how you thank me, you ingrate?
332
00:28:41,211 --> 00:28:43,331
You haven't bought it with
your father's money.
333
00:28:44,411 --> 00:28:48,571
If you don't want it, leave it.
I know that you don't deserve it.
334
00:28:49,491 --> 00:28:52,971
- Why did you bring it, then?
- Perhaps I am a fool.
335
00:28:54,811 --> 00:29:00,091
Indeed I am. Yet you have my sympathy.
336
00:29:00,931 --> 00:29:05,211
I don't want anyone's sympathy.
You are not my mother.
337
00:29:05,331 --> 00:29:07,451
Hold it. I said nothing wrong.
338
00:29:09,851 --> 00:29:15,571
I don't want to be your mother.
I hope you will marry me.
339
00:29:23,931 --> 00:29:27,491
Wahshi! Can't you smile at me for once?
340
00:29:28,451 --> 00:29:30,731
So that you can see
the whiteness of my teeth?
341
00:29:32,931 --> 00:29:34,851
The whiteness of my teeth!
342
00:29:34,971 --> 00:29:36,971
This is something we have
in greater measure than the Arabs.
343
00:29:37,091 --> 00:29:39,171
Huh! The whiteness of my teeth.
344
00:29:40,891 --> 00:29:44,211
- You do know how to laugh.
- The whiteness!
345
00:29:49,731 --> 00:29:53,131
- Good morning, Abu Al-Waleed.
- Good morning.
346
00:29:53,251 --> 00:29:55,611
I am wondering about your brother,
Abu Hudhayfah.
347
00:29:55,731 --> 00:29:57,731
He has not been visiting us
for some time.
348
00:30:00,211 --> 00:30:02,051
If you like we can drop at his place.
349
00:30:05,331 --> 00:30:06,891
Sit down.
350
00:30:10,771 --> 00:30:16,171
Father, brother,
how happy I am to see you. Welcome.
351
00:30:17,811 --> 00:30:19,571
Won't you sit down, father?
352
00:30:21,211 --> 00:30:24,011
Are you eating with your slave in one plate
353
00:30:24,131 --> 00:30:26,371
Salim, do not leave
until you have finished eating.
354
00:30:26,491 --> 00:30:28,851
All right, sir. I have finished.
355
00:30:29,731 --> 00:30:31,651
Have a good day, sir.
356
00:30:37,371 --> 00:30:39,691
You shouldn't have broken
his heart in this way.
357
00:30:39,811 --> 00:30:43,651
Do you remonstrate with me
in respect to your slave?
358
00:30:43,771 --> 00:30:47,731
What will Quraysh say when
they know that Utbah's son,
359
00:30:47,851 --> 00:30:52,451
the chief of the Abd Shams clan,
eats with his slave in one plate?
360
00:30:52,571 --> 00:30:58,131
Why should I care for what people
say when I have my own views?
361
00:30:58,251 --> 00:31:00,331
You also possess Salim.
362
00:31:00,451 --> 00:31:02,731
I own my love of him,
just as I love my children.
363
00:31:02,851 --> 00:31:05,411
What is the harm in my eating
with him in one plate?
364
00:31:05,531 --> 00:31:08,171
Wouldn't we be buried
in the same soil when we die?
365
00:31:08,291 --> 00:31:14,931
Yes, in the same soil,
but not in the same grave.
366
00:31:15,051 --> 00:31:18,371
Will there be masters
and slaves in the graves, father?
367
00:31:18,491 --> 00:31:22,251
The dead have no distinction
in the graves, after having died.
368
00:31:22,371 --> 00:31:26,331
It is only their ranks
in life before death,
369
00:31:26,451 --> 00:31:30,011
and the ranks of those they leave behind.
370
00:31:30,131 --> 00:31:33,051
What use is that to the dead?
371
00:31:33,171 --> 00:31:36,571
They take nothing with them
except their good deeds.
372
00:31:36,691 --> 00:31:38,491
What did you say?
373
00:31:39,211 --> 00:31:42,731
Good deeds remain after a person dies.
374
00:31:44,131 --> 00:31:49,331
You said they take their good deeds
with them to their graves.
375
00:31:49,451 --> 00:31:53,611
I understand it if you say that their
good deeds continue to be remembered,
376
00:31:53,731 --> 00:31:56,531
but that they take them with them...
377
00:31:57,731 --> 00:32:00,931
Have you been meeting Muhammad
and learning from him
378
00:32:01,051 --> 00:32:03,371
about resurrection and reckoning?
379
00:32:04,131 --> 00:32:06,851
Does he really say that?
380
00:32:07,811 --> 00:32:10,131
I was not with you
when he called the people at Al-Safa.
381
00:32:10,251 --> 00:32:12,531
Won't you sit down now, father?
382
00:32:14,891 --> 00:32:18,851
Shall I sit on a mat where
your slave has been sitting?
383
00:32:49,011 --> 00:32:53,251
Muhammad abuses me! Abuses me...
384
00:32:58,731 --> 00:33:00,371
What are you doing?
385
00:33:00,491 --> 00:33:03,851
Muhammad,
or rather Muthammam, your nephew...
386
00:33:03,971 --> 00:33:05,331
And yours.
387
00:33:05,451 --> 00:33:09,371
He abuses me and my wife
and threatens us with fire,
388
00:33:09,491 --> 00:33:13,011
saying that it is Qur'an revealed to him.
389
00:33:13,131 --> 00:33:15,891
No one has encouraged him
to do so other than this one...
390
00:33:18,211 --> 00:33:19,811
And this one...
391
00:33:22,211 --> 00:33:25,051
And you. Yes, you.
392
00:33:30,171 --> 00:33:36,131
- Is this what you do to your nephew?
- I disown him and all he does.
393
00:33:37,371 --> 00:33:40,779
If you don't refrain
from this to maintain
394
00:33:40,821 --> 00:33:44,731
good manners, then
out of shame. It is wicked.
395
00:33:44,851 --> 00:33:50,931
And... I disown you, and this one,
and this. I disown you all.
396
00:33:52,051 --> 00:33:55,851
Abd Al-Muttalib would have been
broken-hearted to see this.
397
00:33:55,971 --> 00:33:59,891
People say: You may have a brother
who was not born to your mother,
398
00:34:00,011 --> 00:34:04,571
but no one ever said:' you may have
an enemy born by your mother'.
399
00:34:08,691 --> 00:34:10,211
Abu Lahab!
400
00:34:11,851 --> 00:34:13,691
Haven't you forgotten something?
401
00:34:24,051 --> 00:34:25,411
This!
402
00:34:30,091 --> 00:34:33,491
Take it. Take it.
403
00:35:00,331 --> 00:35:07,291
You shouldn't have done that. After all,
he is your brother and older than you.
404
00:35:07,411 --> 00:35:11,731
What a bad brother, and uncle.
405
00:35:14,731 --> 00:35:19,091
What did he mean by being
denounced in the Qur'an?
406
00:35:19,211 --> 00:35:24,131
He continued to say 'Damn Muhammad',
drumming up hostility to him
407
00:35:24,251 --> 00:35:27,251
until Muhammad has recited this:
408
00:35:27,371 --> 00:35:30,331
"Doomed are the hands of Abu Lahab;
damned is he.
409
00:35:30,451 --> 00:35:33,411
His wealth and his gains
shall avail him nothing.
410
00:35:33,531 --> 00:35:35,891
He shall have to endure a flaming fire,
411
00:35:37,051 --> 00:35:41,611
and his wife, the carrier of firewood, shall
have a rope of palm fibre round her neck."
412
00:35:45,051 --> 00:35:48,171
If there were a second life and a fire,
413
00:35:48,291 --> 00:35:52,851
our brother Abu Lahab
has deserved it by his action.
414
00:35:54,651 --> 00:35:56,531
He is the most stupid of people,
415
00:35:56,651 --> 00:36:01,771
or probably Muhammad
is truly supported by revelations.
416
00:36:01,891 --> 00:36:05,811
- What do you mean?
- Had Abu Lahab willed,
417
00:36:05,931 --> 00:36:09,291
he would have shown Muhammad's
claims to be false in a moment.
418
00:36:09,971 --> 00:36:11,611
How can he?
419
00:36:12,291 --> 00:36:17,811
Hasn't he condemned him for the fire
by this Qur'an?
420
00:36:17,931 --> 00:36:20,331
It is a final judgement.
421
00:36:21,211 --> 00:36:23,211
Yes, indeed.
422
00:36:23,331 --> 00:36:26,731
All he has to do is to say in public
that he believes in Muhammad
423
00:36:26,851 --> 00:36:29,251
and he has adopted
Islam to lead a life of piety.
424
00:36:29,371 --> 00:36:34,411
He will thus render these verses false
and show our nephew as a liar.
425
00:36:34,531 --> 00:36:39,691
Thank God that he is such a fool.
426
00:36:39,811 --> 00:36:45,451
We can now say this of him,
if we don't say anything else.
427
00:36:46,931 --> 00:36:51,731
Shall we now go in and speak to Muhammad
about what those people are saying.
428
00:36:51,851 --> 00:36:54,971
He may try to save himself and save us,
429
00:36:55,091 --> 00:36:58,171
instead of giving us this
too heavy burden.
430
00:37:14,491 --> 00:37:20,811
Don't worry my nephew. By God,
I do not mean to let you down
431
00:37:20,931 --> 00:37:22,811
or refrain from supporting you.
432
00:37:22,931 --> 00:37:27,011
I know now that you will not
abandon your call
433
00:37:27,131 --> 00:37:31,051
until God has given it victory
or until you die advocating it.
434
00:37:31,171 --> 00:37:34,971
If they would give you the sun in your
right hand and the moon in your left hand,
435
00:37:35,091 --> 00:37:38,171
you wouldn't desist, as you said.
Go ahead, my nephew,
436
00:37:38,291 --> 00:37:44,091
and say what you will.
I will never, never let you down.
437
00:37:51,251 --> 00:37:53,091
I knew it. He would never give up
to these people,
438
00:37:53,211 --> 00:37:55,131
even if they would place the earth's
treasures before him,
439
00:37:55,251 --> 00:37:58,371
or would raise great armies against him.
440
00:37:58,491 --> 00:38:03,131
Should he have said anything other
than what we heard,
441
00:38:03,251 --> 00:38:05,411
he would have condemned himself as a liar.
442
00:38:07,571 --> 00:38:11,411
What man would claim to be
God's prophet and messenger,
443
00:38:11,531 --> 00:38:14,091
and allow himself a choice...
444
00:38:15,611 --> 00:38:21,411
to go ahead with his message or abandon it,
to spare himself other people's designs?
445
00:38:35,571 --> 00:38:40,891
Your delegation has gone twice
to bu Talib, but to no avail.
446
00:38:41,011 --> 00:38:42,651
Yes.
447
00:38:42,771 --> 00:38:45,651
Muhammad continues
with what he has started,
448
00:38:45,771 --> 00:38:49,091
calling on people to believe in
his religion and criticizing ours.
449
00:38:49,211 --> 00:38:52,211
He plays on the weak-minded to spoil them.
450
00:38:52,331 --> 00:38:57,011
Now we know for certain...
451
00:38:57,131 --> 00:39:01,811
that Abu Talib will not surrender
his nephew to us.
452
00:39:03,171 --> 00:39:05,051
Abu al-Hakam,
453
00:39:05,171 --> 00:39:08,371
Would you have surrendered him,
had he been a son of yours?
454
00:39:10,331 --> 00:39:14,451
I would stop him myself,
if I would not surrender him to others.
455
00:39:15,531 --> 00:39:20,011
If I don't, then no
blame attaches to people
456
00:39:20,131 --> 00:39:22,811
if they take him from me, even by force.
457
00:39:22,931 --> 00:39:25,171
Muhammad's position is peculiar indeed.
458
00:39:25,291 --> 00:39:27,331
He discards the bond of blood,
459
00:39:27,451 --> 00:39:30,691
replacing it with the bond of religion
among his followers,
460
00:39:30,811 --> 00:39:35,571
regardless of their lineage,
colours and ranks.
461
00:39:35,691 --> 00:39:39,211
Yet when we try to take him,
he is protected by his clan.
462
00:39:40,331 --> 00:39:44,691
That's it. He takes from us
for himself and for his religion,
463
00:39:44,811 --> 00:39:47,691
but gives us nothing.
464
00:39:47,811 --> 00:39:52,771
Now that we have despaired of Abu Talib
doing anything, the time is right...
465
00:39:52,891 --> 00:39:57,131
Yes, indeed. You have done what you could
with Abu Talib and to no avail,
466
00:39:57,251 --> 00:39:59,091
as my uncle, Abu al-Hakam said.
467
00:40:01,011 --> 00:40:07,411
Yet it is wrong to confront the Hashim
clan with hostility.
468
00:40:08,091 --> 00:40:12,891
You will only make who disagree
with Muhammad, flock to his support.
469
00:40:14,491 --> 00:40:18,411
Abu Talib never said he was following
Muhammad's faith.
470
00:40:18,531 --> 00:40:22,091
Nor did Hamzah and al-Abbas.
If they protect him,
471
00:40:22,211 --> 00:40:24,251
it is because he is their kinsman.
472
00:40:24,371 --> 00:40:31,491
Otherwise, they will be disgraced
for giving up their son and disowning him.
473
00:40:31,611 --> 00:40:34,931
Should they give him up,
no one will ever hold them in respect.
474
00:40:35,051 --> 00:40:37,851
Whoever does not support his son
will not support his neighbour.
475
00:40:39,331 --> 00:40:42,291
This is your own standard,
people of Quraysh!
476
00:40:43,731 --> 00:40:49,611
You have inherited these values
and you continue to take pride in them.
477
00:40:52,211 --> 00:40:55,371
I vouch that were the Hashimites
to do your bidding concerning Muhammad,
478
00:40:55,491 --> 00:40:59,931
you will be the first
to treat them with contempt.
479
00:41:00,051 --> 00:41:02,291
Indeed all of us will be viewed
with contempt by the Arabs.
480
00:41:05,331 --> 00:41:08,051
When the Hashim clan is disgraced
for something,
481
00:41:08,171 --> 00:41:12,731
you will all be disgraced for it.
Among you, they are the ones in the lead.
482
00:41:13,771 --> 00:41:19,211
Their chief, Abd al-Muttalib,
was your undisputed master.
483
00:41:20,051 --> 00:41:24,491
Everyone who wanted to do you good
or evil turned to him...
484
00:41:24,611 --> 00:41:27,971
We know all this.
So, what do you suggest?
485
00:41:29,411 --> 00:41:33,251
The upshot is that you must not hasten
to confront the Hashimites
486
00:41:33,371 --> 00:41:36,011
with hostility and severance of relations.
487
00:41:36,131 --> 00:41:39,251
If you do, you drive them
to embrace Muhammad's religion.
488
00:41:41,011 --> 00:41:43,891
Once they do that, they will be joined
by all those who consider them
489
00:41:44,451 --> 00:41:47,531
the head clan of Quraysh.
490
00:41:47,651 --> 00:41:49,651
People will think that since they are
the custodians of the Kaabah
491
00:41:49,771 --> 00:41:51,531
who also provide food
and water for pilgrims.
492
00:41:52,731 --> 00:41:56,931
May you live long, Umar.
May we always benefit by your wisdom.
493
00:41:57,051 --> 00:41:59,011
This is the right attitude to take.
494
00:41:59,131 --> 00:42:03,931
All that we heard
was what we should not do.
495
00:42:04,051 --> 00:42:07,771
We heard nothing about
what we should do.
496
00:42:07,891 --> 00:42:10,411
While we have done whatever
we can with Abu Talib,
497
00:42:10,531 --> 00:42:13,691
we have not tried Muhammad himself.
498
00:42:14,211 --> 00:42:18,211
Should we not talk to him?
Should we not debate him?
499
00:46:22,887 --> 00:46:23,403
