Farouk Omar

Inspiring series, see real life heroes in action, a lot to learn from as quoted "The production explicitly showcases the path of "Al Farrouq" and the characteristics of equality, good governance, justice, tolerance, wisdom, compassion and leadership among others. It further sheds light on the personal values of the Khalifa"

Awesome direction and superb acting by almost all of the actors, seems like you are back in the days...

One of the best Islamic productions ever made. The series starts with the life of Umar (RA) in the pre-Islamic Arabia, and then continues with his life at the time of the mission of the prophet (PBUH), his conversion to Islam, the caliphate of Abu Bakr (RA) and finally, the Caliphate of Umar (RA) himself. The series is as accurate as it was possible without showing the prophet (PBUH).

The series is very well made. One of the most positive points of the series is that it lays great emphasis on the teachings of Islam, and how they changed the society of the time from the days of ignorance and injustice to the justice of Islam. It shows the efforts and the sacrifices of the companions of the prophet in spreading the message of Islam.

The Series really touches the heart. It increases the love of the companions.

In the end, all that I would like to say is that, although the series may not be perfect in every sense, it is a source of a lot of good. It is a series not to missed.

While watching sometimes i forget i am watching a film,because it was so fantastic and the actors really brought the characters to life.

This is probably the greatest epic made for TV ever, and would probably rival many movies of this genre too, and the acting and scope of the world is just mind blowing. The art direction, acting and incredible sets are as breathtaking as the massive scope of the series. It's a wonderful Series! It's the most expensive TV-Production of 200 Million SAR. It contains 30 episodes. Each episode is Epic. The Series also gives depiction of the birth of Islam. The plot focuses on the historical events. It's accurate in that it tries to present the birth of Islam as most people today probably learn it. Definitely it's not a propaganda piece. Its production and cinematography is much better than high budget HBO TV Series.

Once i started the series i could not stop until i watched all the episodes. Excellent work done by director, producer and wonderful acting of the cast has made it unforgettable work. Some people would criticize about the personification of the companions(R.A) but in my view, whoever watches the whole series gets more in love with them. This series is highly recommended for non-Muslims who want to learn how Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h.) trained ordinary people in such a way that they conquered half of the world within a decade and maintained high degree of morals, characters, justice and ideal administration. The series enlightens their way of life in a realistic humanly manner rather than superstitious.

If you want to learn truths about Islamic history or you want to improve your knowledge about what is Islam, well this is an absolutely awesome piece of work.

It is very well documented with an objective perspective.

The events are displayed so well and lively.

It is explaining most of the important parts of Islam history.

And the producer also uploaded all episodes on Youtube for free with English subtitle. So you can watch it on Youtube as HD with super speed and quality.

I strongly suggest you to watch this piece of quality work TV series.
