"Omar Series"

I Watched Arabic version (English subtitle) of OMAR on MBS I must say I was amazed, shocked saddened and left gasping for more. The screen certainly does justice to the lives of the companions that are portrayed in this series that tries to captivate the audiences with its portrayal of the problems faced by the early Muslim community. The entire series starts from the final pilgrimage made by Ameer UL Momineen and as he returns from Makkah, he stops by a wadi remembering his youth as a camel herder - from here on the next 29 episodes flashback to his youth in Makkah, he's coming across the message of Islam and his sense of belonging and attraction to the prophet.The series brings all the characters to life and gives the viewer a feel and a sense of belonging having witnessed the fights, quarrels disturbances in Makkah and Madina.The program gives a sense of his adal insaaf, justice and equity and the fact that he was not scared of putting forward the truth as he saw it regardless of what anyone thought. It also highlights how the Sahaba and khulafa relied on the sharia system of consultation at every step. The captivating parts I believe are the ones that focus on the ridda wars and how the Muslims were at a critical and dangerous point in their history.Sayedna Khalid bin Waleed and Abu Ubaida and Mola Ali are also shown in a wonderful light as well Please watch it its really good. I attach the English subtitled version. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xMu_654ASDk
