(120 mins) It is the 7th century in Mecca, where powerful leaders are in conflict with the Prophet Mohammed, who attacks their way of life and the injustice it produces. Despite bitter opposition from the leaders of Mecca, the Prophet and his faithful followers meet secretly to listen to the revelations of the word of God. The leaders respond with persecution, forcing the Muslims to leave Mecca and take sanctuary in Medina. After a revelation from God, the Prophet agrees to take arms against Mecca and battle until justice reigns. The idols of Ka‘bah are destroyed and the holy place is dedicated to the worship of one God.
