      need english subtitle

      When it comes to historical authenticity of this series it is high as I think, Since the Imam Ahmed life and his tolerance to poverty and hardships of life, his insistence to financially independent especially from the Caliphate money and gifts, his respectful personality, his debates with Muatazela (school of thought of Islamic theology who are considered to be deviated by most of Muslim scholars, and finally not giving up in front of torture and prison, all of that is shown in a very good way, but the side characters who are meant to show the social life in the era added some boredom but not excessive as I think, Generally the series worth watching, since the main character the Imam is so famous and influential in Islamic History until today

      Re:series

      I have never come across such a peaceful, pure, and elegant production as this series. The direction is just remarkable. The actors have truly justified the roles. The emotions of this epic series are greatly warming and melting. I wish this work is continued. It truly revived the spirit of Islam. There is a great story behind each and every scene. As food for the spirit, the dialogues, the story's entire setting, and the whole team's remarkable effort will surely resonate through years if not ages. The simplicity and the presentation using such a well-balanced plot are greatly surprising. The guidance and the personification of a scholar, with all his attributes, could not be more elaborated.

      Need English Subtitle

      Hi,

      Where can we find English Subtitles for this Series ?

      Great series for learning classical arabic

      The whole series is amazing from the cast to the plot. They have the full series for free on their official YouTube channel. But it is only in Arabic. To watch it in English you will need to download the subtitles which are available now. Just go to the Mentivation channel on YouTube and watch the video titled the Imam for all the steps.

      Thank you for making this

      For some reason people today prefer watching things more than reading so I Thank you for this amazing historically accurate informative series.

      It hits you so hard, Imam Ahmed Ibn Hanbal is an inspiration to all practising Muslims. It shows what we should strive to be.
