01 / THE STORY

A little about the film.

Muhammed is visited by the angel Gabriel, which makes him deeply shocked. The angel asks him to start and spread Islam. Gradually, almost the entire city of Mecca begins to convert. As a result, more enemies will come and hunt Muhammad and his companions from Mecca and confiscate their possessions. They head north, where they receive a warm welcome in the city of Medina and build the first Islamic mosque. They are told that their possessions are being sold in Mecca on the market. Mohammed chooses peace for a moment, but still gets permission to attack. They are attacked but win the Battle of Badr. The Meccans want revenge and beat back with three thousand men in the Battle of Uhud, killing Hamza ibn Abd al-Muttalib. The Muslims ran after the Meccans and left the camp unprotected. Because of this, they were surprised by riders from behind, so they lost this time. The Meccans and the Muslims closed a 10-year truce. A few years later, Khalid ibn Walid, a Meccan general who killed many Muslims, converted to Islam. Meanwhile, Muslim camps in the desert were attacked in the night. The Muslims thought that the Meccans had done so. Abu Sufyan came to Medina fearing retribution and claiming that it was not the Meccans, but robbers who had broken the truce. None of the Muslims give him an audience, claiming he "observes no treaty and keeps no pledge." The Muslims respond with an attack on Mecca with very many troops and "men from every tribe". Abu Sufyan sought an audience with Muhammad on the eve of the attack. The Meccans became very scared but are reassured that no one will be abused and any in their house, by the Kaaba, or in Abu Sufyan's house will be safe. They surrendered and Mecca came into the hands of the Muslims. The Pagan images of the gods in the Kaaba were destroyed, and the very first azan in Mecca was called on the Kaaba by Bilaal Ibn Rabaah.
