Excellent, smart action film.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

I have seen many series, But I have never seen such a nice Series on Islamic History before this.. Really loved all the episode. All the episode are awesome. No words, I don't know Arabic, I watch it with English subtitle,even I really loved... It would be great if anyone can give such list of series names to me.. Jazak Allah Khar

A great emotional and inspirational series to watch. I was moved to tears many times. The character of Khalid ibn al-Walid(R.A) is so inspiring and is also portrayed very well. Islamic history and traditions are shown without spreading any propaganda. Such type of series should be made more often as Islamic history is very vast. This will remind people what they were before Islam and what they achieved after Islam prevailed by following the commands of Allah and Prophet Muhammad(P.B.U.H). This will allow us to think what we have become now, as we abandoned the commands of Allah and Prophet Muhammad(P.B.U.H). We can achieve all the glory shown in the series again and even more only if we follow right path and avoid following the evil one.

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.

This is not only a series, but this is the story of Islam. You will find life of Omar (ra), most life of Mohammed (PBUH), Ali (ra), Ebu Bekr (ra) and some of Osman (ra) and many other friends of the Mohammed (PBUH). You will find the birth of the Islam the spread of it. If you are interested in Islam you really should really see this series. All the actors especially Samer Ismail and Ghassan Massoud have done their best. The war scenes are well done. Historical characters, places, clothes, are very realistic . Once I have started i could not stop myself watching it. Many series like this should be produced.There is huge treasure lying in the history of Islam. There is a lot of stories can be a movie or series.
