Omar

In my view, your only option

is that you reduce the pressure on Muhammad's followers.

When our traders go to Abyssinia,

some of us should reassure the immigrants,

giving them what may encourage them to come back.

We will benefit by people's love of their homeland.

By God, you do not love Makkah any more than they do,

but you forced them to immigrate.

You, Muthammam!

Won't you stop all this?

Haven't I forbidden you that? Haven't I forbidden you?

Isn't it enough that you have deserted our religion,

caused disunity among us, berated our elders,

criticized our gods,

then you spoilt our sons, brothers, slaves and allies,

and perpetrated every bad thing?

On top all of this you come and dust your face by your prayer in front of us.

By Al-Lat Quraysh has never known anyone

bringing it more evil than you've done.

If you must, then keep away from us and relieve us from seeing you,

because we hate such sight.

By Al-Lat, if I see you here again,

I will split up your head with a stone.

Abu Imarah!

I wish you could have seen what your nephew, Muhammad,

suffered at the hands of Abu Al-Hakam Ibn Hisham.

He found him sitting here...

and he reviled and abused him, giving him what he would hate to hear.

He then left him, but Muhammad did not reply to him.

Has he, now? - Yes, God is my witness.

Welcome, Abu Imarah!

Would you abuse him when I follow his religion,

saying what he says?

Leave Abu Imarah alone.

By God, I have badly abused his nephew.

This is what I counselled you against.

He did not follow his nephew's religion, but you pushed him into it.

He only said it in anger.

What if he confirms what he said?

By God, Muhammad has not received greater support

as he received today with Hamzah declaring himself a Muslim.

Nephew, don't worry.

If anyone harms you, I will harm them in multiples.

I used to support you as a blood relative,

but now I support you as a Muslim.

I declare my belief that there is no deity other than God,

and that you are His messenger.

That's Muhammad.

It is all his doing, all these troubles he has caused us.

Would that I go and kill him with my sword,

Umar!

You must have come out carrying your sword for some serious matter.

I am looking for this man, Muhammad,

who has split Quraysh.

What did you say? - A man for a man!

By God, you think too highly of yourself, Umar.

Do you think the Abd Manaf tribe will let you walk on earth

when you have killed Muhammad?

No. Once I have done that, I would give myself up to the Hashimites

to kill me in retaliation. The matter will end at that.

The least evil. - Rather, the greatest evil.

Shouldn't you rather go back to your own family and start by taking care of them?

Who of my family?

Your sister, Fatimah Bint Al-Khattab,

and her husband Saeed Ibn Zaid Ibn Amr, your brother-in-law.

Both are Muslims, following Muhammad's faith.

"But when he came close to it, a voice called out to him: Moses,"

"I am your Lord! Take off your sandals,"

"for you are in the sacred valley of Tuwa."

"Know that I have chosen you. Listen, then, to what is being revealed."

"Said (Moses): My Lord, open up my heart (to Your light),"

"and make my mission easy for me,"

"and free my tongue from its impediment,"

"so that people may understand what I say."

"Appoint for me a helper from among my kinsmen,"

"Aaron, my brother."

"Grant me strength through him"

"and let him share my task"

"so that together we may extol Your limitless glory"

"and remember You always."

Saeed! Fatimah! It's me, Umar.

Stay here. No sound.

My brother...

What is this noise I heard here?

You heard nothing, except some conversation between us.

Yes, indeed. I heard that you have deserted,

and that you are following Muhammad's religion.

Don't lie to me.

Umar, what will you say if a religion other than yours is the right religion?

So, you have done.

Umar! Umar!

Stay away from my husband, you tyrant.

Umar!

You, enemy of God! Will you beat me and my husband

because we believe in God's oneness?

Do what you can.

I bear witness that there is no deity other than God

and I bear witness that Muhammad is His messenger.

Yes, we have accepted Islam in spite of you.

Take your hands off me.

Is that what you were reading?

Give it to me to read. - I won't.

Look. I took what you said to heart.

"Ta Ha."

"We did not bestow this Qur'an on you from on high to cause you distress,"

"but only as an admonition to the God-fearing."

"It is a revelation from Him who has created the earth and the high heavens,"

"the Lord of Grace, established on the throne of His almightiness."

"To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and on earth,"

"as well as all that is between them, and underneath the soil."

"If you say anything aloud,"

"then (know that) He knows all that is secret, as well as all that is yet more hidden."

"(He is) God; there is no deity other than Him."

"His alone are all the attributes of perfection."

Is it from this that Quraysh has fled away?

"Indeed, I alone am God; there is no deity other than Me."

"So, worship Me alone, and establish regular prayer to celebrate My praise."

"Although I have chosen to keep it hidden, the Last Hour is bound to come,"

"so that every soul may be rewarded in accordance with what it strove for."

"Hence, let not anyone who does not believe in its coming"

"and follows only his own desires turn your thoughts from it, lest you perish."

The one who says this

must be worshipped alone, without partners.

My brother... my sire, my love!

Khabbab! Were you the reciter?

Be happy, Umar.

I sincerely hope that the Prophet's prayer is fulfilled in your favour.

He said: "My Lord, grant support to Islam"

"with the one You love better out of these two:"

"Abu Al-Hakam Ibn Hisham or Umar Ibn Al-Khattab."

Has he really said that?

Yes, indeed. By God, he said it.

By God, you are the best of the two men

I am sure the Prophet's prayer would be fulfilled in your favour.

Take me to the Prophet and his companions.

It is Umar Ibn Al-Khattab, carrying his sword.

Why are you worried. Open the door for him.

If God wills it good for him, he will accept Islam.

If not, it will be easy for us to kill him.

What brings you here now, carrying your sword?

Will you not abandon your attitude until God has willed a strike to befall you?

Messenger of God.

I have come to declare that I believe in God and His messenger,

and in what you have brought us from God.

God is supreme! God is supreme!

Zaid! Brother!

Have you beaten me to Islam, Zaid?

I wouldn't have sought your permission.

You were tyrannical.

But you won't find me weak in Islam.

May God and His messenger, and you all, be my witnesses

that in every position in which I harmed a Muslim

I will now stand again defending Islam.

I want to catch up with you all, as you have taken a lead on me.

Umar? What news?

Aren't you aware that I am now a Muslim?

What did you say? - I have become a Muslim.

Don't do it. - I have done.

May God blacken your face

and the news you brought me.

Umar!

Have you heard that I have become a Muslim?

You? - Yes.

People of Quraysh! People of Quraysh!

I am now a Muslim.

I bear witness that there is no deity other than God

and that Muhammad is God's servant and messenger.

And you have come to challenge us in our meeting place!

By God, we will give you the same treatment you meted out to others.

Enough. That's enough. - Here comes Al-Aas Ibn Wael

What's the matter with you idiots?

Have you lost your brains?

Ibn Al-Khattab has deserted.

So what? A man has chosen a religion!

Do you think that the Adiy clan will gladly hand him over to you?

Have you forgotten that we, the Sahm clan, are allied to Adiy.

Whatever befalls them also befalls us.

Disperse. Disperse.

You didn't need all this. Shouldn't you have kept quiet about it?

I won't conceal the truth after knowing it.

I will continue to separate the truth from falsehood,

just as God has distinguished day from night.

Umar? Who could have thought...

By God, I was right.

You thought he would convert?

We were talking with him the other day about Muhammad and our people.

The two of us were there as were Safwan, Umair and Ikrimah.

I looked in all your faces and wondered

if any of us would accept Islam one day,

and who would be the first to do so.

And you thought it would be Umar?

He is not as rich as our fathers to be keen to retain his wealth.

His clan is not a top one like the Abd Shams, Jumah, Sahm

and Makhzoom, your clan, so as to envy the Hashimites

for having a Prophet from among them.

He thinks independently from his father.

Besides, Al-Khattab, his father, is unlike your father or mine

or Umayyah Ibn Khalaf.

Moreover, he is the youngest to share with our elders

in the debate about Muhammad.
