In the Name of God the most gracious, the most Merciful

From Muhammad, the Messenger of God to Heraclius, the emperor of Byzantium

Peace be upon those who follow righteous guidance

To proceed I bid you to hear the divine call to Islam

Accept Islam for your salvation and God will give you your reward twofold

If you turn away you will bear the sin of the Arians

To Al-Muqawqis, Patriarch of Copts

From Muhammad, the Messenger of God to Kisra, the great leader of Persians

Accept Islam for your salvation and God will give you your reward twofold

and if you refuse to accept Islam you will be responsible for the sins of Magi

You come out of the desert smelling of camel and goat

To tell the great leader of Persians where he should kneel!

Who gave him this authority?

God sent Muhammad as a mercy to mankind

"The Scholars of Islam The University of Al-Azhar in Cairo"

"The Supreme Islamic Shia Council in Lebanon"

"have approved the accuracy and fidelity of this film"

"In the Name of God the most gracious, the most Merciful"

"Had We sent down this Quran on a mountain you would have seen it humble itself..."

"and split asunder for fear of God God Almighty has spoken the Truth"

"The Prophet, a representative elected by God to carry what the mountains cannot carry"

"is too great and inaccessible to be represented by another human being"

"Therefore, neither his image nor his voice nor his shadow will be shown in this movie"

In the 6th century

when the world was sunk in darkness

Muhammad ibn Abdullah was born in Mecca

Mecca was then a rich trading city, ruled by its merchants

and it housed the Idols worshiped by Arabs

Every year, during the sacred months the tribes deferred their conflicts

and their convoys would flow safely with their priests carrying offerings...

to these idols of gods around the Kaaba

The Kaaba that was built by the prophet Abraham for pilgrims believing in God

It hosted at the time 360 different gods equivalent to the numbers of the Arab tribes

Mecca was controlled by Quraysh

including Banu Abd-al-Dar a wealthy clan of merchants

who had monopolized the keeping of idols to promote their trade during festivals

and including Banu Hashim Clan Muhammad's grandfather

who used to accommodate pilgrims during their stay in Mecca

Lord Umaya

Bilal!

- This is not enough - How is that possible

I have already paid back more than my debt

I have been paying money for 5 years

Don't you understand? The interest on your debt has been multiplied

Is he yours?

but I need him to work in my land

He is all I own now

This donkey does not even pay back half the amount you owe me

- The boy - My son?!

- How do you find the market today, Umaya? - It is not clear yet

as caravans are still arriving

but this year, the gods are gold

When you combine the gods and trade together our profit will be great, Abu Sufian

I see that the Caravan from Syria

It's ahead of schedule

Put five more men on north wells

How many sheep shall I kill for them? 70?

Give them a hundred Mecca must keep its name for hospitality

and ten lambs for the leaders

Who has taught people that money praises them should they waste it

and should it be saved it is an abusive action?

and who is more courageous and generous...

than Abu Sufian when people require help?

Here he is, the son of Harb, thanks to him your caravans go where they please

and where he wants they find great generosity in these lands

He holds poetry in the highest regard

and on it he spends without question

From the silkworms of China, my lady.

Soft to the touch

a pleasure to the eye

Yes, 7 lengths

20 dinars

- and for Abu Sufian's wife? - You set the price you prefer, my lady

15

These are worthy offerings as the gods have their shares

as a pledge to their immortality

Who is that man standing there, Abu Lahab?

Carry me away from here He has stripped me of everything

Why must Muhammad come down here?

What took over my nephew?

Why don't you stop him?

- Maybe he will change - Change at 40 years old?

It's unnatural for a man at his age

to hide away shivering in a cave

to prefer the bareness of a mountain to a warm soft bed!

Being the husband of a wealthy woman like Khadija...

he can have the best things in Mecca

For a man who dares to risk the anger of Al-Uzza

Manat the god of our prosperity

Al-Lat the god of our family and tribes

and Hubal... Hubal, on which our fate depends and who takes care of our caravans

This man puts himself in great danger

To renounce the gods within earshot is dangerous

- Heresy - Apostasy! Rebellion

I'm afraid Muhammad will harm himself

I am always sad when the great fair is over

I might not see the next one

Abu Talib! Abu Talib! Abu Talib!

- Abu Talib! - Catch your breath, Zaid!

Has Muhammad come down from cave of Hira yet?

No, we haven't seen him yet

Khadija hoped he might have come to you on his way home

- Perhaps, he is at Abu Bakr's house - No, I've already checked

Then he's still up there

For 3 days?

He has been there for a long while this time

I'm afraid for him on the mountain

because I don't know what it means

Men see the world too well from the top of a mountain

"Read!"

"Read, in the Name of thy Lord who created man from a clot of blood"

"Read, and thy Lord is the most Gracious who taught man to write with pen"

"Who taught man what he knew not"

He's still trembling under the blanket

The Revelation weighs heavily on him he can barely raise his hand

He tremors constantly although beads of sweat roll down his forehead

- but he has spoken - Zaid?

What happened to my nephew Muhammad?

He was alone meditating in the cave

An angel appeared to him and said...

"Read!"

Muhammad replied: "I cannot read"

The angel repeated again to Muhammad

"Read!"

Muhammad replied: "What shall I read?"

The Angel of Revelation then said

"Read, in the Name of thy Lord who created man from a clot of blood"

"Read, and thy Lord is the most Gracious who taught man to write with pen"

"Who taught man what he knew not"

and Muhammad read

as if the Ayat had been written in his heart

Gabriel then left him

Gabriel?

When Muhammad was coming out from the cave...

he heard a voice coming from the sky which said

"Muhammad you are the Messenger of God"

"and I am Gabriel"

Muhammad returned home and told Khadija what he had seen

and she said to him

"Have hope and hold on to that"

"because I swear by the one who has power over my heart..."

"I hope that you are the Prophet sent to this nation"

Who else knows of this, Zaid?

The first ones to know were Khadija...

Ali and Abu Bakr

and you as well

I am his adopted son

Be careful to whom you talk to in Mecca

Tell him his uncle who protected him when he was a child...

will never abandon him

- Why has Muhammad call his clan for a meeting? - I don't know, I'm here to find out

The cave... the angels This is a heresy

- What's Abu Sufian's opinion about this? - He says that it's is Banu Hashim's affair

How can they say it's a heresy although he was preceded?

In Mecca, it's new

Yet, God has said it all before to Noah Moses, Jesus and all the Prophets

- Who is that, Musab? - It's Jafar

What have you brought with you?

This is a Surah from the Quran

"In the name of God the most gracious, the most Merciful"

"When the sun is overthrown"

"and when the stars fall"

"and when the mountains are removed"

"and when the pregnant she-camel are abandoned"

"and when the wild beasts are herded together"

"and when the seas are filled with flame"

"and when the souls are paired"

"and when the female infant who is buried alive is asked for what sin she was killed"

"and when the scrolls of deeds are laid open"

"and when the sky is stripped away"

"and when Hellfire is set ablaze"

"and when Paradise is brought near"

"every soul will know what it has brought"

"God Almighty has spoken the truth"

Jafar, were you there when God gave him these words?

He trembled under his blanket

clenching his teeth

He tried to stop shivering

Finally, he awoke and spoke

Dawn is coming up

Ammar, you go out first

Ammar!

Where were you? You kept your mother awake all night with worry

Where were you?

Forgive him, it was my fault, I did it

That God has helped us all our lives

but it could not even help itself

It is shameful to worship such a thing

The True God is one that sees all

while being unseen

Ammar, we see the gods in the Kaaba every day

Ammar, I'm afraid for you

You're listening to people who will hurt you

I'm listening to Muhammad, mother

Muhammad? Mecca as a whole testifies to his honesty and trustworthiness

He is generous He gives, he shares,

He kindly greets everyone he meets

but I do not accept that he offends the gods

The gods? What kind of gods accept that a person should starve to death?

That the rich should exploit the poor? The strong should oppress the weak?

What kind of gods that authorize fathers to kill their daughters without a reason?

What kind of gods that prohibit women from freely choosing their husbands...

and accept that they are forced to live a life worse than death?

Your mother was not forced to do anything

Yes, but you know that you and I nearly never met, Yasser

And you were nearly never born, Ammar

My father was about to be bury me alive

like he'd buried my sister before me

but he couldn't do it

as he remembered when he was putting sand over her

she took hold of his finger

and suckled it as though it were her mother's bosom

Her tender little grip...

I think it was tender

My father's weakness for a second saved my life

Sumayyah, it is the custom

No, it's a sin, Yasser

The gods that let such things be are no gods

I must return to the Messenger's house

Alright, my son Go to Muhammad

He is a blessed man

Two men are following him

Read? Muhammad can neither write nor read

- but he can speak - What?

He can speak? Well, I can speak as well

What does Muhammad say?

He only says what is revealed to him as God's words

What words? Which god?

A speaking god?

Muhammad is delusional

When God reveals His message to him he remembers every word

then he dictates it to those who can write

The words of God remain unchanged this is the Quran.

Muhammad has starved himself into dreams

Don't you say that he hides under his blanket with his eyes shut?

True, but his heart is open

You! Kick him for his eloquence

No, there is no purpose in that

Doesn't Muhammad realize that our lives depend on the gods of Kaaba?

We own the Kaaba

Every year, the caravans come here, worship at the Kaaba

and buy from us our goods

It's not as simple as you imagine, boy

How can we to replace 300 gods with just one God whom we cannot even see?

You say that He is everywhere here in my house...

in Taif, Yathrib Yemen, on the moon!

If this was true, then why would the pilgrims bother coming to Mecca...

while they could worship one God who is everywhere?

The gods of Quraysh are for worship and trade

You cannot buy and sell God

The whip will correct your attitude

Beware, young man

I have a question

I heard that this illiterate man teaches you that a slave is equal to his master

This black Bilal whom I paid money to buy is equal to me?

Yes! He is a human being

The Messenger of God says that all men are as equal as the teeth of a comb

This is a heresy which is pleasant to slaves

It gives them false hope of liberation

Bilal!

Teach this man the difference between a Master of Mecca and a lowly slave

Give him the whip

Lash him in a way that teaches his mouth a lesson

Whip him, Bilal!

- Whip him! - Kill him!

Whip him!

Do as he says Do it Bilal!

Do it and spare your life

See what anarchy they bring to Mecca! They've even infected our slaves!

If you're human enough to have gods they are the gods of your masters!

I have owned your soul and body since I bought you, Bilal

You will be corrected!

One, one God There is only one God!

- Who is stronger now? - One God

- Talk! - One God

Your master or this one God of yours?

One God

There is only one God

One God

One God

There is only one God

- One God - Haven't you killed him yet?

This slave isn't shouting in pain He's provoking the slaves

Umaya! Umaya!

Abu Bakr will pay 100 dinars over the price for Bilal

Wait now!

It's against our social order to sell a slave during his correction

Let Umaya decide

200 dinars, Umaya

Abu Baker? This means Muhammad

If the price of slaves is raised...

we shall have to feed our animals ourselves next year!

Take him! He is no use to me anymore!

While I am alive you must obey me!

Why do you want to anger your father?

If I drank everyday wandering in the streets of Mecca

- would that satisfy my father, sister? - Don't call me sister

What's this? You are all my children

and you I have given you everything you ever wanted

and needed

Muhammad has given me serenity and peace

Let him go

so he can be with the other apostates

Do not do this for us but feel pity for your father

Wait Hudayfa! Hold on!

Your nephew insults our gods

claims that our forefathers were wrong and corrupts our children

Wait, Abu Al-Hakam

Had I known he corrupted I wouldn't have let him continue

The best young people in Mecca are following him

and what will the Arabs say about us? that the youth of Mecca are leading its elders?

Tell me, Abu Taleb

how could the heaven above choose a prophet that eats food and walks through marketplace?

We have been patient with your nephew for long, Abu Taleb

So today, we would like to present him with a proposition that he will hopefully accept

If he rejects, we will fight against you both until either party is defeated

If it's money he wants, we are willing to make him the wealthiest among us

and if it's a status he seeks, we are willing to make him a master over us

and if it's sovereignty he wants we are willing to make him our king

and if he desires the ultimate authority then we will give him the keys to the Kaaba

Now that you know the proposition made by Quraysh

My nephew, Muhammad

I advice you to spare both you and I

and do not burden me in my old age what I cannot bear

How great is Muhammad!

You offered him everything and he refused your offer, declaring

"Uncle...

"were they to put the sun in my right hand and the moon in my left hand..."

"that I renounce this cause I shall not do this"

"until God has vindicated it or caused me to perish in the process"

God has told his messenger to declare Islam to all men!

We will pronounce the truth

Let the world hear!

There are no other gods but God and we only worship Him

We are devoted to His religion even though the disbelievers despise it

God is the greatest! God is the greatest!

There are no other gods but God and Muhammad is his messenger

In the name of God we declare our call

In the name of God we come out from darkness into light

God is the greatest! God is the greatest!

There are no other gods but God and Muhammad is his messenger

God is the greatest! God is the greatest!

There are no other gods but God and Muhammad is his messenger

God is the greatest! God is the greatest!

There are no other gods but God and Muhammad is his messenger

God is the greatest! God is the greatest!

There are no other gods but God and Muhammad is his messenger

God is the greatest! God is the greatest!

Do you hear, Quraysh?

Are you going to let the lowliest in Mecca from amongst the followers of Muhammad...

- invade the sacred Kaaba? - No, by Hubal!

We will throw them into a raging fire!

Throw them into a raging fire!

- Throw them into a raging fire! - Throw them into a raging fire!

God is the greatest! God is the greatest!

There are no other gods but God and Muhammad is his messenger

There are no other gods but God and Muhammad is his messenger

God is the greatest! God is the greatest!

There are no other gods but God and Muhammad is his messenger

God is the greatest! God is the greatest!

There are no other gods but God

- and Muhammad is his messenger - Light it!

God is the greatest! God is the greatest!

Protect the prophet!

God is the greatest!

There is no god but God and Muhammad is the messenger of God.

"Perish the two hands of Abu Lahab, and perish he!

His wealth and his children will not benefit him!

He will be burnt in a Fire of fierce flames!

And his wife too, who carries wood

On her neck is a twisted rope of palm fiber"

God is the greatest!

God is the greatest!

God is the greatest!

Line up!

Get out of Mecca!

Liars! Witches!

Let the world witness as well as all the people present

Now's the time to finish them, Abu Sufian!

There are only 30 of them...

No, not at the Kaaba

not until they have exposed their false agenda to all Arabia

You are preventing us from a divine right

preventing us from the House of Abraham! And all of the Arabs!

God is the greatest!

God is the greatest!

Open the way!

"Say: O you who reject faith,

- I worship not what you worship." - Keep him out of the Kaaba!

- Neither do you worship what i worship. - Keep him out of the Kaaba!

Stop this liar who falsely claims to know the heavens!

Protect the Messenger of God! Protect him!

Fear God, oh people!

Hamza! Hamza!

You are a brave man, Abu Jahl!

How can you attack unarmed men?!

They support this impudent...

Surely not more impudent than you

preventing him from his right to speak!

Muhammad is a liar!

Hit me back if you dare!

And all of you!

Is there anyone who wants to face me?

I affirm my nephew's religion and I say what he says!

Whoever has the courage to fight, fight with me!

Muhammad, my nephew...

when I hunt the desert at night...

I know that God is too great to be kept in a house.

Who would have thought that Hamza,

Hamza with his wine drinking, lion hunting...

would come to join Muhammad?

The more we attack him, more they seem to join him.

Where does he find his words?

I don't know, Hind

How can an illiterate man over 40 years old

go up on a mountain and come down again

to speak more eloquently than a poet?

If only it were just poetry...

People believe it to be the word of God

How do we fight someone whose strength we do not understand?

Muhammad promises heaven, trees in the skies.

So naturally he's found an audience.

Then we must make that audience less eager to listen to him.

We will begin with the weaker ones.

No!

Ammar! Ammar!

- Mother! - Ammar!

- Mother, mother! - Ammar!

Come and join your husband!

Sumayya!

Leave her! Leave her...

Yasser! Yasser!

No! No, no!

My parents!

Come and join them

Tie him up!

Mother, father!

There's no god but God and Muhammad is the messenger of God!

There's no god but God and Muhammad is the messenger of God!

You don't want to speak well of our gods?

Say: 'Hubal'!

Say: 'Hubal'!

There is only one God

- and Muhammad is the... - No!

No, no!

Mother! Have mercy!

There's no god but Allah

and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah

No, no!

Hubal, Hubal, Hubal!

Hubal!

Say: 'Hubal the great' Say Hubal!

Say 'Hubal' and reject the religion of Muhammad!

'Hubal'!

There's no god but Allah

- Muhammad is the messenger of Allah - Disappointing! Disappointing!

Disappointing, disappointing, disappointing!

- Where's this God to save you now? - No!

Go out Go out my Brethren in Faith!

Be patient, Ammar!

The Prophet has announced goo news:

"Be patient, oh the family of Yasser for Paradise awaits you"

The Prophet has arrived

oh, Messenger of God...

How can I raise my head at your presence?

For I have betrayed you,

by calling upon their gods Tell me how?

The pain caused me to lose consciousness

I cried out because of it...

They killed my parents before my eyes!

They forced me to betray you oh Messenger of Allah!

Forgive me my Lord!

Fear only Allah oh Ammar

Your situation has touched the Prophet that he cries with pity

You are not to blame for you spoke under duress

Allah holds the heart accountable only for what it can bear

You are not safe here...

The Messenger of God has asked that we leave Mecca

If you stay here, they will kill you one by one

He says:

'Go to Abyssinia, for there is a king there

who is never unjust'

Leave now...

Right now!

Horsemen! Be careful!

We found their tracks, and followed them but...

but they just disappeared!

and you let them escape you!

Escape? They rather vanished!

If Muhammad has stayed, then only the weakest have gone.

Weak or strong, they'll blacken our name and our trade with Abyssinia...

Abyssinia...

Amr!

You are a friend of Annajashi, the king?

Yes.

Can you use that friendship?

I think I can bring them back...

Then, to Abyssinia

Look at these people Watch them being humiliated!

Don't you bow before your Prophet?

We prostrate only before the One True God

Muhammad taught us that he is only a Servant of Allah and His Messenger

'Messenger of Allah'? Where are his miracles, Jaafar?

Has he risen to the Heavens? Has he walked on water?

Has he cured the ill, or given sight to the blind?

or even life to the dead?

Where are his miracles, Jaafar?

He is correct

The prophets perform miracles in order to prove they have been sent by Allah

The miracle of Muhammad is the Quran itself

Mere words? Mere words written by an illiterate man and falsely attributed to Allah!

Does the king need to hear anything more?

but I know that Allah sent tongues of fire down on the heads of the apostles,

so that they could express themselves in all earthly languages

languages which they were unaware of before

But I wonder... Can such miracles occur in our days?

I've heard enough! Your argument is very weak!

We came here to flee from oppression and injustice!

Muhammad said to us:

"Go to Abyssinia, where the king does not treat anyone wrongfully"

What they call 'injustice' is simply fair punishment!

Why did Muhammad sent you to me?

Because you are of the People of the Book!

Your believe in the One True God inspires you to protect us

Your Majesty! Talking to them is like drawing water from a mirage!

But they've now laid a duty on me I have to listen to them my friend

Your Majesty!

We were a people of utter ignorance...

We worshipped idols of wood and stone which we had fashioned with our own hands!

We ate carrion, fornicated and broke blood ties with abandon...

We disrespected our neighbors and the rich amongst us oppressed the poor!

This was our way, until one day Allah sent a Messenger from amongst us

A man whom we know to be virtuous, sincere, honest and dignified

He invited us to worship Allah alone

and to relinquish our wood and stone gods!

You blaspheme and lie against our gods

We don't worship wood and stone in our gods

We worship the spirit which resides within them which brings us closer to Allah!

Not everyone sees it that way, Amr

What does your religion command?

It orders us to worship the One True God and not to associate partners with Him

to pray regularly, and to speak only the truth

to fulfill all trusts, to respect our neighbors and maintain our blood ties

to avoid vice, and not to shed innocent blood

It prohibits fornication, speaking ill of others

stealing orphans inheritance and lying against pure women

'Pure women'? What does your religion say of 'women'?

Women in our religion are the equal of men

They have the same rights and the same duties

What 'rights'? We buy them, feed them, cloth them to serve us

and we sell them if they refuse to obey us

Do you disesteem the woman who carried you in her womb

nursing you whilst you were young till the day you grew into an adult, Amr?

Why are your gods tongue-tied, Amr?

It seems their One True God over empowered them

Our Lord is the Lord of all humankind

He is the Lord of Abraham, Moses Zachariah, John and Jesus Christ

They were granted the Revelation and now to Muhammad as well...

We don't differentiate between the Messengers!

Who taught you those names?

The Quran It was revealed to Muhammad

Muhammad! A mere orphan who grew up minding sheep!

And the Christ was a carpenter in the Holy Land!

The Truth of the matter is that

the Words of Muhammad, and the Words of Christ...

come from the same source of light

Your Majesty, what they truly say of the Christ will displease you

What do they say of Christ?

They say... that he is a human being like us!

Speak up What do you say of Christ?

We say of Him, only that which has been revealed to Muhammad

He is the Spirit and the Word which was inspired in the Blessed Virgin Mary

Ask them who gave birth to Christ and how?

Does this Quran speak of the birth of Christ?

Yes May I quote a Passage from it?

Approach and recite...

In the Name of Allah the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

"And mention from the Book the story of Mary who she secluded herself from her family

to a place facing east

And she placed a screen between herself and them then we sent her Our 'rooh'; Gabriel

And he appeared before her in the form of a man

She said: "Truly! I seek refuge with the Most Beneficent from you, if you do fear Allah"

The Angel said:

"I am only a Messenger from your Lord to announce to you the gift of a Righteous son"

She said:

"How can I have a son when no man has touched me, nor am I unchaste?"

He said: "So it will be, for your Lord has said: 'That is easy for my'

And We wish to appoint him as a Sign to Humankind and a mercy from us

and it is a matter already Decreed."

Allah Has Spoken the Truth

The difference between our two Religions is no greater than this line

Oh Amr, I swear by Allah that I would not give them back to you, even for a mountain of gold!

You and your companions are free to go, Jaafar

You may live here in peace until your Lord permits you a safe return home

intolerable! intolerable!

Muhammad disturbs even our foreign alliances!

Very well!

We will make a foreigner of him in Mecca!

Yes, yes!

Who protects him here? Abu Talib?

We will isolate him

as well as Banu Hashim, and anyone else who supports him from the Quraysh!

Alright! No merchant is to sell Muhammad or his supporters

No one is to buy from them No roof shelter them

Food will neither be sold or given to them

They are not to marry from us nor we from them

Send them into the mountains

Until they renounce the Religion of Muhammad!

And the years passed...

Muhammad, and those with him were patient amidst this misfortune

And then, in the third year...

Khadija, the Mother of the Believers fell ill and passed away

and Abu Talib would soon die of a great sadness

It was 'Year of Sorrow'

Hishaam... Zuhayr

- What's going on? - We wish to tear up the Proclamation!

- This is shame - Withdraw the Proclamation

You are not even related to Muhammad This doesn't concern you

We will not fight you

How can you eat whilst some of our people are dying of starvation over the mountains?

The Chiefs of Mecca came to an unanimous agreement

You will not touch the Proclamation Return to your homes!

Let's go!

This is indeed a great plot!

You demanded a miracle Here it is, right in front of you

A miracle achieved by the weakest of creatures!

These mere termites have over empowered you Oh Chiefs of Mecca!

They have humiliated you and destroyed your pride

This is all that remains to you

Your cruel force...

Your mercilessness and all that you have built

are nothing before the Greatness of Allah

Here is your proclamation, oh Quraysh

There is only one word left on it

"In Your Name, oh Allah"

"We shall turn to whatever deed they did

and We shall make such deeds as scattered floating particles of dust"

Allah Has Spoken the Truth

Oh Chiefs of Mecca! You can't flee

Time will catch up with you and your evil ways

How splendid! Hamza the 'hunter of lions'

- is now 'hunter of insects' - Yes!

Today and tomorrow, oh Hind!

I must bid farewell to this life

for my hour is close.

But I did not convene you for that, my people...

I called you...

for something far more serious than my life and death

I called upon Muhammad...

in order that you may come to a fair agreement

How is that if he invites us to that which we can't tolerate?

Ask him to stop blaspheming against our gods, Abu Talib

If he leaves our religion alone then we will leave his alone

If he accepts this, then we'll listen to him

All he required from you was just one Word!

If he had asked us to accept ten other words we would have accepted them from him!

But to declare that 'God is one', then never!

You are afraid... even to...

to listen

to what he says

Is there another city,

whose people are so arrogant and deaf to the Truth?

Our sorrows grow...

First, Khadija left us...

She was like a mother to me

And today, Abu Talib

We have in Mecca neither support nor protection

Sinaan...

The Messenger wants us to leave Mecca

Now? Without delay?

He wants to go to Taif

Taif...

Where there will be no Abu Sufian

no Abu Jahl or Abu Lahab

To Taif, the second 'City of Arabs'

went the prophet with his adopted son 'Zayd'

in the hope that he would find aid with the Leaders of Taif

after his despair with the Quraysh

Fear Allah, Oh people!

Fear Allah!

Fear Allah!

Fear Allah, Oh people!

Fear Allah!

Are you a Christian?

The son of Naynoah...

Give this to him

His feet are bleeding!

He is supplicating to the Lord...

"Oh Allah! I complain to You of my weakness

my scarcity of resources

and the humiliation I've been subjected to by the people, Oh Most Merciful

Oh the Lord of the weak, and my Lords too!

To whom have you entrusted me? To a distant person who receives me with hostility?

Or to an enemy to whom you have granted authority over my affair?

So long as You are not angry with me, I don't care

Your favor is of a more expansive relief to me

I seek refuge in the light of Your Face by which all darkness is dispelled

and every affair of this world and the next is set right

lest Your anger

or Your displeasure descends upon me

I desire Your satisfaction until You are pleased

And there is no Power, nor Might save You."

I recommend that you leave

Taif is no longer a safe place

Today was the bitterest day in his life

And God answered His messenger's call

A year ago, one group of Yathrib pilgrims paid homage to Islam in secret

and during the next pilgrimage without Quraysh knowledge

men of Ous and Khazraj, the ever-in-war tribes

came to pay homage and promise to have one stand together

They wish the messenger would go to them and save their city from hate and destruction

but the homage won't take place before they know its exact conditions

Wait, people! With this homage of yours, you're going against

all the Arab none polytheists, you're paying homage that the strange believers

would be your brothers and the nonbelievers would be your enemies even though of kinship

you're paying homage to destroy your stone idols

and to break your wooden idols as well then throw them to the fire

People! If you can tolerate all that, then you may pay homage

but if you're people who are afraid of yourselves, then don't pay homage

By the Name of God who sent you with the right message

we'll pay homage to you that we won't stop you of doing what we do

and what our sons and families do

On such conditions we pay homage to the Messenger of God

and those who breach the promise make the violations on themselves

May God and His messenger witness that we the Ous and Khazraj are followers

we pay homage to the messenger of God to listen and adhere

and to support Islam

by our lives and the lives of our sons and our money

and we promise to welcome into our hearts and houses those Islam brothers coming to us

So the day of determination came turning from darkness to light

the migrants come one group after the other

all united by their belief in God

of those migrants, Othman Ibn Affan and Abdul Rahman Ibn Aouf and Obaidah Ibn Al-Jarrah

and Omar Ibn Al-Khattab and all those who believed of Quraysh nobles and powerful men

they were about 70 persons or a bit more, those were all who went

and were to correct the path of time and man and were to change the face of the world

But the messenger of God didn't leave Mecca

for he wanted to stay there and make sure all the migrants would leave safely

Allah is great!

And the day the messenger comes to Madina

the Islamic calendar starts with the day of migration

Muhammad has become a nation now he has a city of his own

he paid homage and promised your people while you're off sleeping, Ibn Saloul!

The other day you lost your govern while you're dreaming about glory

Don't blame me, Abu Suffian!

You've become in his fist and your caravans couldn't get to the Levant but by sneaking

or by having permission from the new master of Yathrib

And how about you? What are you going to do?

I'll just wait and stalk

Till when?

Till the Arab tribes would stand by your side and destroy him

and then get back to your previous situation

And while you wait, what would be your role?

I'll convert to Islam I won't let him have my place of birth

Yathrib is worth such sacrifice

- You mean hypocrisy! - Yes, Hind! Hypocrisy and adoption

You would convert to Islam? You'd put your face in the earth 5 times a day?

I can't believe that!

You might never need to do that if things went good, Ibn Saloul!

We're now doing something that we've missed before

Muhammad will be killed

Come and see!

We've arranged a scheme to kill Muhammad

We took one young man from each tribe and my son Ikrima is with them as well

They will all hit like one man

so all tribes would be responsible for the deed

It's my idea

I don't think it would manage to end him for his call and the words shall remain

But Abu Al-Hakkam idea finishes the whole thing

once and for all!

No!

Ali was sleeping in his place?

That young man would sacrifice his life for him?

What kind of people you're fighting?

He won't get away! There's someone watching on every road

He has but the desert in front of him

100 she-camel for the one who gets Muhammad, dead or alive!

There are but three of them Muhammad, Abu Bakr and their guide Ouraikeb

- and he's the best man who knows the desert - Lets go!

Why are you chasing him here? The road to Madina is right over there!

- This is their trail - Nomads going west?

- I know what I'm doing - Yes, of course!

We all know that and they say you can smell a bird in the sky and track it

Come on, let's go with them

Muhammad!

Get out and we promise to get you back to Mecca alive!

Be cautious! Those caves are filled with snakes

Muhammad! We know you're here!

Get out!

They are not here, the spiders web is intact

The nest of this dove is still here as well so it's impossible for them to be here

Why did we venture that far west? We'll head north, towards Yathrib!

Allah had demonstrated the totality of His Power

for there was nothing between Muhammad and death, but the spindle of a spiders web

Inside the cave, Abu Bakr had trembled with fear for the Prophet and Islam

while the Prophet whispered to him with certainty of heart saying:

"Fear not, for Allah is with us"

Then they continued their journey for days in the full heat of the desert

The Prophet goes on with his companion and their nomadic guide

to cross a desert that had never been traversed before

In Madina, the faithful awaited the arrival of the Messenger of Allah

while their hearts were burning with fear and anxiety

- Do you see anything? - No, not yet!

My heart goes out to both him and Abu Bakr

what has this heat done to them?

There is the Messenger! Allah is the Greatest!

- Allah is the Greatest! - I see the Messenger there!

The Bearer of Good Tidings is finally here! Allah is the Greatest!

Go and hide, so I won't be obliged to release you as a gesture of welcoming him

Oh, the White Moon rose over us from the valley of Wadaa

and we owe it to show gratefulness where the Call is to Allah!

Oh, the White Moon rose over us from the valley of Wadaa

and we owe it to show gratefulness where the Call is to Allah!

Oh, you who were raised amongst us, coming with a work to be obeyed

You have brought nobleness to this city! Welcome, Oh Great Caller to God's Way!

Welcome, Oh Messenger of Allah to his city of light!

Welcome! Welcome!

You must come and stay with me, Oh Messenger of Allah

for my house is the most honorable in Yathrib

a most worthy accommodation, if you accept it, that is

Stay at my house, Oh Messenger of Allah!

- My house! - My house!

Oh dear inhabitants of Yathrib!

Oh Community of the Anssar!

The Messenger of Allah would prefer not to have to choose between you all...

Listen, Oh people! Listen!

The Messenger of Allah has declared:

Where God guides his camel to stop, there he will build his house.

All agreed?

Wherever the camel turns...

- we will build the Prophet's mosque and house. - Agreed

A clever solution

A choice made by a camel can offend no one.

Here we will build the house of the Prophet.

Our first prayer house, the first mosque of worshipping God, will be built here!

- God is great! God is great! - God is great! God is great!

What is the prophet of God doing? Carrying bricks?

You have suffered too much on your way here, right?

Please, go and sit down and have some rest, we'll do it.

Look! He went for more.

"Work is a worship" he says.

He's 53 years old.

How old are you?

It was built by the Will of Allah!

How would we call for prayer?

The human voice of a faithful man can call for prayer

as Umar ibn Khattab and some other Muslims mentioned

If the Prophet agrees

The Prophet agreed Yes, the human voice!

He means you, Bilal.

Me?

Don't be hesitant, Bilal!

It's the Prophet's wish

Allah is the Greatest!

Allah is the Greatest!

Allah is the Greatest!

Allah is the Greatest!

I acknowledge that there is no deity but Allah

I acknowledge that there is no deity but Allah

I acknowledge that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah

I acknowledge that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah

Come to the prayer!

Come to the prayer!

Come to the salvation!

Come to the salvation!

Allah is the Greatest!

Allah is the Greatest!

I acknowledge that there is no deity but Allah

Oh, my brethren in faith!

The Messenger of Allah says to the migrants and Anssar

"Be brothers before Allah!"

Today, a man of Medina, will embrace a man of Mecca.

Each will share half and half with a brother

Reach out, embrace your neighbor and brother.

I'm tired of the politics of kissing slaves, read this!

Muhammad is acting like a sultan!

How is my son?

Praying like a horse.

Does it burn your hands?

If it's not torn up, it will burn down the house.

He's making laws like a king.

He has declared that loyalty to Islam is more than loyalty to tribal family.

What is that?

All muslims from Quraysh and Yathrib and those who follow are next of kin to one-another?

Don't be mislead by that.

He will never be able to unify Arab tribes.

The danger is here, equality:

a man's neighbour is as good as himself.

He means it!

Jews and Christians have equal rights with Muslims. Read Jews of Yathrib

The Jews who attach themselves to a common wealth shall be protected unless they trespass.

Look at this! Women have rights of inheritance!

Next, he'll be giving the camel rights.

His Quran says it:

"There is not an animal on earth nor a creature that flies with two wings,

but that they form communities like you"

Muhammad turns everything upside down even the natural order of my city

Unbelievable!

He's taken our sons and daughters from us, our life from us.

His rights... are wrongs!

No more

He should be put back in his place

We will take everything of value they have left in Mecca

Their houses their camels, their palms their money...

and even their children, will be ours!

Thieves! Thieves!

Leave it! Leave it! Thieves!

My friends, my brothers! Listen to me! I have news from Mecca!

They've stolen everything you left back in Mecca!

You have nothing left there!

Abu Bakr's shops, the prophet's house... sold!

They've sold all your possessions in order to inflate their caravans!

You no longer possess anything neither here, nor there!

Don't you even fight for what you own?

Who speaks of fighting?

What other way is there?

When Allah and His Prophet say fight, we fight.

Don't misunderstand me, Hamza!

We are not the ones placed under this strain, you are our guests...

if we had but one loaf of bread...

then half of which would be for you

Go back to work

We must fight them, Oh Messenger of Allah!

Yes, we will fight them

Those who oppressed us, drove us out of our homes and then plundered them

No! By Allah! The truth can not be overcome by falsehood!

We are protected by Allah and by you so we won't be defeated

Oh Messenger of Allah I know that you call to peace

but if we leave them be, we will lose all honor and dignity, Oh Messenger of Allah!

Permit us to fight them!

Everything we had is on those caravans

and those caravans are within our reach

so let us recover our possessions with brute force!

Forgive me...

forgive me for raising my voice in your presence, Oh Messenger of Allah!

But it is an anger, for the sake of Allah and His Religion!

Fight them, Oh Messenger of Allah!

There will be no fighting until Allah Orders it

That's Bilal

But look at the sun

It's too early for prayer

Listen to what Allah Has Revealed to His Messenger, from the Quran:

In the Name of Allah the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Permission to fight has been given to those who have been oppressed, for they have been wronged

and surely, Allah is Able to give them victory

those who have been expelled from their homes unjustly, only because they said:

"Our Lord is Allah"

Allah, Has Spoken the truth

- Allah is the Greatest! - Allah is the Greatest!

- Allah is the Greatest! - Allah is the Greatest!

The sword of Ali...

the first Sword of Islam!

Oh migrants and Anssar!

Observe the rules of war, as they have been laid out by the Prophet!

Do not harm any children old men, women or the sick!

Do not cut down trees!

Do not unjustly inconvenience the man who works in the fields!

Fight only your oppressors and those who have stolen from you!

And now...

to the wells of Badr!

Oh, people of Quraysh! Oh, people of Quraysh!

Oh, people of Quraysh! Oh, people of Quraysh!

Arm yourselves! Defend your merchandise!

Muhammad and his men are attacking the caravans!

- How many are they? - Three hundred... and a few horsemen

We will have 200 horsemen! And how many camels?

- Seventy - We will have 170 of them!

And 20 of my she-camels laden with wine filled jars!

We'll make it a festival!

This is the war I've been waiting for!

A war without losses!

War! War! War!

Go quickly to the caravan!

Tell Abu Sufian to gather his men and head to the wells of Badr and we'll follow him

Quraysh went out!

Quraysh went out to face the Muslims at Badr

They have asked you to join them

Is it reasonable to jeopardize the wealth of Mecca?

I'll head west and away from the wells of Badr

You must head to Badr, Abu Sufian!

If I travel all night, through till the morning I'll avoid Muhammad and his companions

And what of your status amongst your people?

My status depends on the safety of these camels

yes, today...

my status lies with these merchandise

Muhammad has taken the wells of Badr

He is as good as ours... hasty!

The hasty ones are always thrown headlong into destruction

Abu Sufian is heading west, away from Badr

The caravan is safe then

I would suggest that we no longer need to fight

Not fight?

Why should we fight our own people?

And in a war which could last 40 years?

A war between fathers and sons, you mean?

Your son, Hudhayfah, is with them and that boy deserves the whip!

Mecca is worth more than him

Your true son is Waleed

It may be that you label me and say, "Utbah the coward"

And you know very well that I am not most coward amongst you

And I say to you, War!

It's our only chance

If we do not take it we may not have another one!

- To War! - War!

Are you done yet?!

Form ranks, battle positions! Quickly!

Quickly!

Each man to his own place!

Position yourselves for combat! Get in your places!

So Muhammad's filled the wells

We must reach that well over there

Remain in your places until the Prophet orders otherwise!

If the enemy gets close enough shoot them with your arrows!

Send us your champions!

Who are you?!

Oh Mohammad!

We expect you to send out the equal of our men!

Come back!

My brother, Shaiba!

My son, Waleed!

And myself!

Not you.

Ubaida and I...

and Ali

The Messenger of Allah said:

"By Him in whose Hands is the soul of Mohammad"

"Know that there is no one who fights them this day"

"who dies whilst being patient and seeking Allahs Reward"

"and who advances without hesitating"

"except that Allah will enter him into Paradise"

Are we your equals?

There is only one God and Muhammad is His messenger

Allah is the Greatest of all!

Allah is the Greatest of all!

Allah is the Greatest of all!

Allah is the Greatest of all!

- Archers! - Advance!

Archers!

Hold...

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Archers back!

They are regrouping.

Charge forward!!

Move back! Get ready to face them!

Allah is the Greatest of all!

- Attack! - Allah is the Greatest of all!

Umaya!

Allah is the Greatest of all!

Allah is the Greatest of all!

- Umaya! - Bilal!

Allah is the Greatest of all!

Onward to victory!

Allah is the Greatest of all!

Allah is the Greatest of all!

Allah is the Greatest of all!

The Messenger of Allah does not want the prisoners to be bound

If we were in their place they would have killed us

We must comply with the rules set by the Messenger of Allah!

You are not to rope or drag the prisoners!

And share your food with them

The one who knows how to read and write

May teach 10 Muslims and will go free

Why don't they go away?

- Why don't they go away? - Because they blame me

Why? Should I have joined them and died at Badr with them?

I didn't just save myself, Hind! I saved the money of Quraysh

Enough! Enough! That's enough! I've had enough of the wailing!

Why sing my father, my brother and my uncle as it's not me?!

Do you think I need you to remind me?

Muhammad!

Ali!

Hamza!

Hamza!

With my nails, Hamza!

I will cut you with my nails, cut throat!

Hamza!

Hamza!

I will hunt... a lion hunter!

And when you are dead Hamza, I will cut your heart out,

I will cut your heart out, killer of my father!

I will cut your heart out, killer of my brother!

I will drink your blood when you die, killer of my uncle!

- I will drink your blood! - Stop wailing! Stop wailing!

I forbid this wailing it cannot go on

This time, we will call in our allies raise a new army against them

Hamza!

God is great! God is great!

God is great! God is great!

I bear witness that there is no God but Allah

I bear witness that there is no God but Allah

I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah

I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah

Come to prayer!

Come to prayer!

Come to victory!

Come to victory!

God is great!

God is great!

There is no god, but God!

Is this Yathrib? Where did its people go?

You could fill your pockets very nicely here

What about their new religion?

No merchant is minding his shop.

God is minding the shop.

- Where do you come from? - Yemen.

Did you stop in Mecca?

It is on the road.

Did you stop in Mecca?

Long enough to rest my camels.

Camels rest better in Mecca than anywhere in the world.

What is the word on the desert?

Oh, it is bad for you They are gathering

Every young man with a sword is on his way to Mecca

Our strength is here

Do not underestimate them! They are summoning up their courage

In Mecca there is music in every house

Khalid hasn't arrived yet!

Don't worry!

Tomorrow, he will be the first of our best riders, ready for action

Continue!

An Abyssinian slave named Al-Wahshi "The Savage"

because of his cruelty

I will give you your freedom

I will give you your weight in silver and will dress you in silk...

for just one throw like this

So they have come at last

We'll know how many they are soon enough

It's a big army Three thousand men, hundreds of horsemen

- We defeated them at Badr - That was a year ago

They have come to revenge their losses at Badr Go and prepare your weapons!

Blood for blood! Oh, Banu Abd Al-dar!

Oh, defenders of home and hearth! Strike with sharpened swords!

We, the daughters of Tariq walk gently across soft cushions

whilst the house is smothered with the scent of musk

If you advance, we will embrace you spreading soft rugs beneath you

but if you retreat, we will leave you Leave you and love you no more!

Hamza is over there Do you see him?

This is your day

Ubada!

Those horsemen on the flank out there they're oddly placed

They are supervised by Khalid Ibn Al-Waleed

Khalid! That young man has always impressed me

Hamza!

The Prophet asks if you have noticed those horsemen?

Yes, I have but I'm not sure what their plan is

It matters not! The messenger of Allah has placed 50 of our best archers over the mountain

He said to them: "Cover our backs"

"and remain there even if you see us being killed"

"and by the same token, if you see that we are victorious, then still remain where you are"

Zaid, tell the Prophet we are ready

Glory to Hubal! Glory to Hubal!

Glory to Hubal!

What do you think, Hamza?

Well, they outnumber us but we are strong in faith

We see them and they see us

All that is in front of me, doesn't frighten me

When the Prophet gives the word we will throw ourselves upon them

Archers! Prepare your weapons!

Advance!

Attack!

Archers, get ready! Throw!

Hamza has been martyred! We will avenge him!

Return to your positions!

You! Take this! Go back! Return to your positions!

Remain in your places! Go back! Go back!

The Quraysh are retreating

We have broken their will!

There's no point in remaining here Let's get the loots!

Stand where you are told to stand!

Don't disobey an order of the Messenger of Allah!

You're endangering the right wing of the army!

The battle is lost, Khalid! The heart of the army has been crushed!

Not yet.

Attack with all your mighty!

Shatter the followers of Muhammad!

- Where is the Prophet? - I heard he's been killed!

If the messenger of Allah has perished, then stand up for what he died upon!

The Messenger of Allah is not dead! He is still fighting!

The Prophet is wounded!

Retreat! Move back to the mountain!

This is your victory, Khalid!

No, my victory is over there!

But we have avenged Badr!

This will not be over until we wipe out him and his religion completely

If we approach them they'll defend their position

It is too much of a risk!

Muhammad, can you hear me?

War has its highs and lows A day for a day!

Some days, they are against us and on others, they are for us!

Some days are with us and some aren't!

Glory to Hubal!

The Messenger says: "Allah is the Almighty One!"

"Know that our dead are in Paradise whilst yours are in Hell!"

Al-Uzza is with us and not with you!

Allah is our lord and you are bereft of one!

Hamza

Hamza! Can you hear me?

It is I, Hind The daughter of Utba

Do you remember your victims, Hamza?

My father, my brother...

my uncle?!

Is your death enough for me?

Your death is only the beginning

Wahshi! Cut him open!

Cut him! I want his liver!

They lost the battle and have hung their swords and now they swing the hoes

What fools!

They go against all logic!

Even after all this hardship they are still happy

They believe that this is a test from Allah

They fight for the sake of Allah as they say

- They desire Mecca - And they will have it

When the stars come out at noon

Don't underestimate them! Mecca is more than just a homeland to them

It is the place where the Revelation came down

They are going there this year as pilgrims

- What do you mean? - Unarmed

Unarmed?

Abu Sufian will finish them off in the desert!

They think that their faith in Allah will save them

but I think I agree with you

Perhaps he will finish them

Be still!

Do not let them provoke you! That is what they want!

Stand firm!

Peace be upon you!

To the Pledge!

The Prophet says: "Whoever loves Allah then make the Pledge under the tree!"

"In the Name of Allah the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful"

"Indeed, Allah was pleased with the believers"

"when they gave their pledge to you under the tree"

"He knew what was in their hearts and He sent down calmness and tranquility upon them"

"and He rewarded them with a near victory"

"Allah and his Messenger have spoken the truth"

Another negotiator has arrived

Suheil Ibn Amr

Perhaps they want reconciliation

Muhammad, a treaty was presented between you and Quraysh

Have you agreed to it?

What is this?

"In the Name of Allah the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful"

Who is this new God they call, gracious?

Write. "In your Name, Oh Allah"

"This has been agreed to by Muhammad the Messenger of Allah"

If I had believed you to be the Messenger of Allah, I wouldn't have fought you

Write...

"This has been agreed to by Muhammad the son of Abd Allah..."

"and Suheil Ibn Amr"

That is more factual, right?

This is much better!

"Muhammad and his companions will turn back from Mecca this year and return to their homes"

Mecca is our home!

"Next year, you will not be permitted to stay indefinitely in Mecca"

"however, you may stay there for a total of three days and your swords will remain sheathed"

If you are pleased with this agreement then we will grant you a ten year truce

Your people will be safe and there will be no fighting between us, whatsoever

You will not attack us under cover of night nor will you betray us

This applies to us as well!

Whoever wants to follow Muhammad in this treaty he is free to

And whoever wants to follow Quraysh in this treaty, he is free to

or if you refuse or even if you harm one person from amongst us, including our allies...

then the truce will be over

Ten years!

Ten years of peace!

We need that time!

We will use that time!

These are letters from the Prophet to the kings of the world calling them to Islam

To Heraclius, Emperor of Byzantium

To Kisra, Emperor of Persia

To Muqawqis, Patriarch of Alexandria

- Go with blessings of Allah! - Allah is the greatest! Allah is the greatest!

Allah is the greatest! Allah is the greatest! Allah is the greatest!

"One's faith is not complete..."

"until you love for your brother the good which you love for yourself"

"And whoever goes to sleep on a full stomach whilst his neighbor goes hungry..."

"is not a true Muslim"

Islam releases us from blind nationalism as well as the fires of ignorance"

Allah the Almighty and Splendid says:

"Oh, humankind! We have created you from a male and a female"

"and made you into nations and tribes that you may know one another"

Verily, the most honorable of you before Allah is the most pious of you"

Allah has spoken the truth

"Your lord has decreed that you worship none but Him"

"and that you be kind to your parents"

Yes! For that is true faith!

"and further to your parents say not to them a word of disrespect, nor shout at them"

"but address them in terms of honor"

"And lower unto them a wing of humility and mercy and say..."

"My lord, bestow them Your Mercy as they did bring me up when I was little"

Allah the Most high says:

"Say, Oh Humankind! The truth has come to you from your Lord"

"So whoever receives Guidance, does so for the Good of his own self"

"and whoever goes astray, does so to his own loss"

And He also said: " Whoever desires the reward of the Hereafter..."

"we give increase in his reward"

"and whoever desires the reward of this world we give him thereof"

"and he will have no portion in the Hereafter"

And He, the most high, says...

"Allah will never change a grace which He has bestowed on a people"

"until they change what is in their own selves"

"Return entrusted goods to the one who lent them to you"

"and betray not those who betray you"

The Messenger of Allah (Peace and blessings be upon him) said...

"All of are shepherds and each one of you is responsible fro his flock"

"A leader of the people is a shepherd and is thus responsible for his flock"

"A man is like a shepherd over his family and he is responsible for his flock"

"A woman is like a shepherd over her husband's house and children"

"and she is responsible for them"

"And a servant is a guardian of his master's property and is thus responsible for it"

"So all of you are guardians and are thus responsible for your charges"

Have you come to take me again?

Rather I have come to ask you to take me

I bear witness that there is no God but Allah and that Muhammad is his messenger

May Allah forgive me for fighting you, Messenger of Allah!

Fear not, Khalid, for conversion to Islam cancels all previous sins!

Allah has granted you much Goodness

but I see that this roughly woven matt is causing you discomfort, Messenger of Allah

May I lay my cape out for you!

The Messenger of Allah recommends asceticism, Khalid

for the wealth of this life is not eternal

He doesn't own anything except this cloak

Excuse me for coming in front of the messenger of Allah wearing these items of jewelry

If the Messenger permits, I will give them to him to be distributed amongst the poor

Khalid! Your sword was the harshest against the Muslims

And now you will be "the sword of Allah", Khalid

I will be with the assistance of Allah!

All is easy for Allah

As He can make life from death...

He can turn a defeat into victory

Two years ago, we regarded the treaty of Hudaybiyah as a defeat

but as you see now, we have gone form victory to victory in the hearts of men

What's that?

Abu Sufian is coming!

Abu Sufian!

I have come to speak to Muhammad Where is he?

He is in the mosque

Muhammad, our people did not violate the treaty of Hudaybiyah

I have come to repair the fault of those desert nomads

Why are you turning your face from me, Muhammad?

Wait! Don't go, Muhammad!

It was Bedouin thieves who violated the truce of Hudaybiyah

Why do you hold me accountable for what they have done?

The night was dark!

How can they say that they saw us?

Barra, I am in your city!

Hudayfa, we are relatives I must be heard!

Abu Bakr! Umar! Ali! Will no one approach me?

I am the leader of Quraysh! I am Mecca!

I am Abu Sufian! Why am I insulted like this?!

Because you keep no promise and respect no pledge

Abu Sufian beseeches piteously?

Well, you've failed

because you are still the same as always arrogant and headstrong!

You refuse to worship Allah alone

I wasn't aware that you had changed so much!

Yes, but from disbelief to faith

What can I say?

I have been defeated, overcome by a shepherd from Mecca

by his religion which began with a man two boys and a woman

And regarding this religion which was first established in four hearts...

don't you realize that it also has a hand which nurtures it?

Why then didn't it choose a powerful man from either Mecca or Taif?

Return quickly to Mecca because every man here will be heading there soon

Tell them that their gods have been defeated and that it is useless to fight Allah!

Tribes are still arriving

We will reach 10 thousand men before sunset

Now that you're back we can fight them

We will fortify the houses and block the roads

It's no use

There are thousands of them today

You coward! We'd rather die than let Muhammad enter

- Hind, go home! - Coward!

Are you the leader of Mecca?! Look at yourself!

You have been broken!

Did my father, brother and uncle die for my husband to run away?!

- You go home! You! - Stupid!

We can not resist! We just can't!

They are taking Mecca back

No, no!

No!

We are to camp here for the night

Mecca!

I can see it even through the mountains

It's as if the sky has fallen and its stars have scattered all over the earth

It is very beautiful

How strange is this that I can smell their bread

Perhaps they have not come for war

at least I hope that's what it means.

They don't want blood on their own walls and doorsteps

Although we drove them out of Mecca Mecca is in their hearts

I can still negotiate with them

Take me to him

So you are giving us Mecca?

You offer me no bread

I understand

You may decide to kill me

Say what you have come to say

I saw your campfires and the men around them

and I know what power you put into your men, Muhammad

Now if you'll agree to...

- You still wish to set conditions, Abu Sufian? - Abu Sufian...

Isn't it time for you to recognize the truth that has been revealed to the Messenger of God?

There is still doubt in my heart

If I were to cut off your head it would remove all your doubts

No, Khalid there's no compulsion in religion

A man may take many years or only need minutes

God guides whomever He decides

You're a black slave, you set a great example

I am only what God has given me

Yes

Had there been any good in the gods I worship...

they wouldn't have abandoned me

I declare with honesty

without any fear and under no compulsion

There is no god but God

and you are the messenger of God, Muhammad

Now, let me go

Get inside your houses! The Muslim armies...

- are entering Mecca from all three roads - Get inside your houses!

The Muslim armies are entering Mecca from all three roads

The Muslim armies are entering Mecca from all three roads

Get inside your houses!

God is the greatest! God is the greatest!

God is the greatest! God is the greatest!

There is no god but God!

God is the greatest! God is the greatest!

Praise be to God

God is the greatest!

and to God goes all praise

and glory to God in the morning and in the evening

There is no god but God

He has fulfilled His promise

- and made victorious His worshipper - Get inside your houses!

- and strengthened His soldiers - Get inside!

- and defeated the confederates solely - Come on!

- Come on! Close the doors - There is no god but God

He alone we worship

with sincere and exclusive devotion even though the disbelievers hate it

God is the greatest! God is the greatest!

There is no god but God

God is the greatest! God is the greatest!

Praise be to God

God is the greatest! God is the greatest!

There is no god but God

God is the greatest! God is the greatest!

Praise be to God

God is the greatest! God is the greatest!

Do not use any violence in Mecca Be lenient towards its inhabitants

No one shall be abused!

All behind closed doors are safe!

All in Abu Sufian's house are safe!

All in the mosque are safe!

At least he kept his word they haven't forced a door

He's stolen hearts, not walls

It's a permanent victory

It hurts me to see them

It's better to forgive people, Hind

Were we so wrong?

Yes, we were so wrong

Our pride led us to sin

Our gods were less than us

Now there he is making his entrance to the Kaaba

In the Name of Allah the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

"And remember when We showed Abraham the site of the Sacred House, saying:

"Do not associate anything in worship with Me

and purify My House for those who make the circuit and stand to pray, bow and prostate themselves""

Allah has Spoken the Truth

"The Truth has come, and falsehood has vanished" God is Great, God is Great

And the Victory of Allah had come...

and Mecca yielded itself awaiting a fair decision

But the Merciful Prophet simply declared: "Leave, you are free to go"

Mecca adhered to the Religion of Islam which preaches justice, and good character

and prohibits corruption, evil, and injustice

The Prophet began to feel, having achieved his Mission in delivering his Message

that his meeting with Allah was close

On the day of the Great Pilgrimage in the tenth century of the Hijrah

the Prophet went to the Mountain of Arafat

and on the Farewell Hajj, he invited the people to listen to the Final Sermon:

"Oh people! Hear me well"

For I know not whether after this year I shall ever be amongst you again

Oh people!

Your life and your property are deemed sacred till the day you meet your Lord

they are just as sacred as this day and this month

You will indeed meet your Lord and He will most certainly reckon your deeds

I have conveyed the Message

Return the goods entrusted to you to their rightful owners

All interest obligations shall be waived but you capital however, is yours to keep

You will neither inflict, nor suffer, any inequity

Remember what I say for I have indeed conveyed the Message

I leave behind me two things if you follow them, you will never go astray

The Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Message

Oh people! Listen to what I say and understand it well

Know that every Muslim is a Brother to every other Muslim

and that the Muslims are one Brotherhood

Nothing which belongs to a Muslim will be legitimate to a fellow Muslim, unless given freely

Do not therefore, do injustice to yourselves

Oh Allah! Have I conveyed the Message?"

Having led the Duhr and Asr Prayers

the Prophet recited the final Revelation of the Quran

"This day, I have perfected your Religion for you, and completed My Favor upon you

and I've chosen for you Islam as your Religion"

and Abu Bakr wept

and then came the painful day

The Prophet was 63 years old

On Monday, in Rabi' al-Awwal in the 13th year of the Hijrah

Muhammad, the Seal of the Prophets chose to meet his Lord

and Madina shook with sorrow

No one could believe that the one who had been blesses by Allah and the Angels

is now entombed within the earth

But Muhammad did die

Thus Abu Bake declared in the Prophet's Masjid

"Oh people! Whoever worshipped Muhammad know that Muhammad is dead

But he who worships Allah know that Allah is alive and will never die"

His noble body was buried where he died in his Masjid in Madina

But his spirit remains and his Message will never die

"Allah is the Greatest of all"

In light, the Companion of the Prophet continued to preach the Message

that we should worship none but Allah and we will not associate partners with Him

and that we will not take anything else as a lord, beside Allah

"Allah is the Greatest of all"

The Muslims, who had began as a small group soon became numerous in number

and the man who started it alone has now made a Community

and that Community gathers all its people around the Word of Allah

"Oh Humankind! We have created you from a male and a female"

and made you into nations and tribes that you may know one another

Verily, the most honorable of you before Allah is the most pious of you"

Allah and His Messenger have Spoken the Truth
