Muhammad is fought by Abu Sufian and his wife Hind, rulers of Mecca. Muhammad's followers are hunted and tortured but he continues his calling.

The same historical inaccuracies I mentioned in my previous review still exist here. The English version doesn’t differ much from the Arabic one, but in terms of impact and emotional weight, there’s simply no comparison. The Arabic version is the original soul of the film, while the English version feels strangely lifeless. And that makes sense — the era portrayed in the film was deeply tied to the power and beauty of the Arabic language itself. So the issue was never about casting or directing. It’s about the language, which is the soul of the film.
