1 00:02:39,683 --> 00:02:44,283 Let's see how long you can tolerate this type of life. 2 00:02:59,283 --> 00:03:02,763 At last, Abu Jandal! I have been always saying: 3 00:03:02,883 --> 00:03:05,403 isn't it time for you to free yourself of your father's shackles! 4 00:03:06,763 --> 00:03:10,483 Yes, I've at last broken free of my father's shackles. 5 00:03:17,283 --> 00:03:19,163 I am free of my father's shackles. 6 00:03:22,083 --> 00:03:26,243 Hardly a few of them returned when many more have broken loose. 7 00:03:26,363 --> 00:03:28,363 Yes. Yes. 8 00:03:28,483 --> 00:03:31,843 When they were few, we feared the consequences. 9 00:03:31,963 --> 00:03:38,323 Now we should be more apprehensive. We better come up with a strategy. 10 00:03:38,443 --> 00:03:43,083 What we feared was that the Abyssinian king might side with them 11 00:03:43,883 --> 00:03:46,523 and this could affect our trade there. 12 00:03:46,643 --> 00:03:50,683 Our strategy, then, should be to win over the Abyssinian king 13 00:03:50,803 --> 00:03:53,523 and turn him against them. 14 00:03:53,643 --> 00:03:59,443 How can this be achieved when he has been kind to them and granted them security? 15 00:03:59,563 --> 00:04:04,043 They have turned away from both our religion and his. 16 00:04:04,163 --> 00:04:08,323 He has bishops whom he is keen to please. 17 00:04:08,443 --> 00:04:12,363 How about sending him some of us who are articulate and good in debate. 18 00:04:12,483 --> 00:04:15,003 To urge him to strike against our relatives? 19 00:04:15,123 --> 00:04:21,403 No, but to return them to us so that we deal with them. 20 00:04:22,963 --> 00:04:25,163 Who can undertake this task? 21 00:04:40,843 --> 00:04:43,123 At last, your time has come, Amr. 22 00:04:43,243 --> 00:04:45,883 And soon your time will come, Abu Sulaiman. 23 00:04:46,363 --> 00:04:48,043 I don't want it coming soon. 24 00:05:29,323 --> 00:05:31,163 Your majesty! 25 00:05:31,283 --> 00:05:36,963 My friend, Amr Ibn Al-Aas No formalities among friends. 26 00:05:37,883 --> 00:05:40,723 The king's condescension is an honour and a favour. 27 00:05:50,003 --> 00:05:54,323 Hide from Makkah. You know what I like, Amr. 28 00:05:59,203 --> 00:06:06,843 Sit down, Amr.

To denounce them? 39 00:06:54,563 --> 00:06:57,083 I have been sent to you by the chiefs of their people. These are their fathers, 40 00:06:57,203 --> 00:07:00,643 uncles and clansmen, requesting that you return these lads to them. 41 00:07:00,763 --> 00:07:05,323 They are better aware of what they take against them. 42 00:07:07,283 --> 00:07:10,003 But they speak differently. 43 00:07:12,203 --> 00:07:16,403 Would you think, your majesty, that they would tell you what condemns them? 44 00:07:17,763 --> 00:07:20,603 You have known our chiefs and elders, or some of them. 45 00:07:20,723 --> 00:07:24,083 They have been carrying business in your land, buying and selling, 46 00:07:24,203 --> 00:07:26,723 bringing benefit to your land and ours. 47 00:07:26,843 --> 00:07:29,963 You have experienced their sincerity and honesty. 48 00:07:30,083 --> 00:07:31,763 Have they ever lied to you? 49 00:07:41,603 --> 00:07:47,763 These people who have come to my land, favouring me over all others 50 00:07:47,883 --> 00:07:49,923 will not suffer injustice. 51 00:07:51,523 --> 00:07:55,043 You, the Arabs, 52 00:07:55,163 --> 00:08:00,003 are well known for keeping your pledges of protection. 53 00:08:00,123 --> 00:08:04,323 A man may extend protection to the murderer of his own uncle 54 00:08:04,443 --> 00:08:07,003 and no one would harm him. 55 00:08:07,123 --> 00:08:11,963 Do you want me to do what you consider beneath your moral values? 56 00:08:15,043 --> 00:08:17,283 How come, Amr? 57 00:08:19,243 --> 00:08:23,403 You have been our elders' favourite long before these people have come to you. 58 00:08:23,523 --> 00:08:28,483 This is how this business and friendship between you and us have come to flourish. 59 00:08:28,603 --> 00:08:32,443 Is it fair, Sire, that our elders should lay a solid foundation, 60 00:08:32,563 --> 00:08:36,603 then these people who have berated their fathers and denounced their elders 61 00:08:36,723 --> 00:08:38,963 should enjoy what their elders did 62 00:08:39,083 --> 00:08:41,163 while they accuse them of ignorance and disbelief? 63 00:08:42,843 --> 00:08:47,003 By God, I wouldn't hand them over until I have called them here 64 00:08:47,123 --> 00:08:50,323 and asked them in front of you about what you are saying about them. 65 00:08:51,283 --> 00:08:54,203 No, your majesty.

How could you be different? 70 00:09:09,803 --> 00:09:14,003 In every community there are low individuals. These are the lowest of us. 71 00:09:14,123 --> 00:09:19,683 No way. By God, you have to prove your case. 72 00:09:19,803 --> 00:09:24,203 If they are as you say, I will hand them over to you. 73 00:09:24,323 --> 00:09:28,403 If they are not, I will protect them 74 00:09:28,523 --> 00:09:31,443 and will treat them kindly as long as they stay in my land. 75 00:09:38,443 --> 00:09:41,843 It is Amr Ibn Al-Aas, the master of resources and tricks. 76 00:09:41,963 --> 00:09:44,723 Falsehood cannot have any argument against the truth, 77 00:09:44,843 --> 00:09:46,283 even though he may be resourceful. 78 00:09:46,403 --> 00:09:48,843 What shall we say to the man tomorrow when we attend him? 79 00:09:48,963 --> 00:09:54,123 It is as they said: we left our people's religion and didn't embrace Negus's faith. 80 00:09:55,403 --> 00:10:00,563 By God, we will only say what we know, and what our Prophet has told us, 81 00:10:00,683 --> 00:10:05,323 regardless of the consequences. We shall not lie and shall not dodge. 82 00:10:07,683 --> 00:10:11,803 Jaafar, you are the Prophet's cousin.

Our overruling maxim was 'might is right'. 92 00:11:24,363 --> 00:11:27,323 This continued to be our situation until God sent us, 93 00:11:27,443 --> 00:11:30,483 from among ourselves, a messenger whose good name, 94 00:11:30,603 --> 00:11:34,403 honesty, sincerity and integrity were well known to us. 95 00:11:34,523 --> 00:11:37,603 He called on us to believe in God, the one and only God, 96 00:11:38,963 --> 00:11:43,243 to be united in His worship, and to stop worshipping all idols 97 00:11:43,363 --> 00:11:48,003 which we and our forefathers used to worship alongside Him. 98 00:11:48,123 --> 00:11:50,603 He commanded us always to speak the truth 99 00:11:50,723 --> 00:11:54,923 and be honest, and to be good to our relatives. 100 00:11:56,923 --> 00:11:59,563 Yes, Sire.

How can I have a son when my wife is barren, 121 00:13:39,643 --> 00:13:42,323 and I am well advanced in years?' 122 00:13:44,483 --> 00:13:49,643 He said: 'Thus it is. Your Lord says, "This is easy for Me; 123 00:13:49,763 --> 00:13:53,003 even as I had earlier created you when you were nothing.' 124 00:13:54,643 --> 00:13:58,443 (Zachariah) said: 'My Lord! Give me a sign.' He replied: 125 00:13:58,563 --> 00:14:04,243 'Your sign will be that for full three nights (and days) you will not speak to people.' 126 00:14:04,363 --> 00:14:09,243 He then came out to his people from the sanctuary and signified to them 127 00:14:09,363 --> 00:14:12,923 to extol God's limitless glory by day and by night. 128 00:14:13,043 --> 00:14:16,003 (To his son We said): 'John! Hold fast to the book with strength. 129 00:14:16,123 --> 00:14:20,123 We granted him wisdom while he was still a youth, 130 00:14:20,243 --> 00:14:25,563 as well as, by Our grace, compassion and purity; 131 00:14:25,683 --> 00:14:27,403 and he was (always) God-fearing, and kind to his parents. 132 00:14:27,523 --> 00:14:33,003 Never was he haughty or rebellious. So peace was upon him 133 00:14:33,123 --> 00:14:35,763 on the day he was born, and on the day of his death, 134 00:14:35,883 --> 00:14:37,883 and will be on the day when he shall be raised to life again." 135 00:14:56,123 --> 00:15:02,803 This comes from the same source as Jesus's revelations. 136 00:15:10,523 --> 00:15:12,443 You may leave now. 137 00:15:12,563 --> 00:15:15,123 By God, I will never hand you over to anyone. 138 00:15:16,163 --> 00:15:18,323 I will have no one scheming against you. 139 00:15:28,603 --> 00:15:32,763 Amr, is this what you call idiocy? 140 00:15:34,203 --> 00:15:38,683 I thought you were wise and bright. 141 00:15:38,803 --> 00:15:43,963 No. By Him who sent down the Gospel, your wisdom hasn't failed you, 142 00:15:44,083 --> 00:15:45,883 but you are stubborn. 143 00:15:48,163 --> 00:15:52,083 Amr, your people have chosen you for this mission 144 00:15:52,203 --> 00:15:58,363 as they are aware of your intelligence, sound argument and your mastery of debate. 145 00:15:59,283 --> 00:16:01,763 Do not let us down. 146 00:16:04,243 --> 00:16:06,363 Allow me a second round, your majesty. 147 00:16:06,483 --> 00:16:10,243 Just one more round before you make your final decision. 148 00:16:10,363 --> 00:16:16,683 Won't you give up? Why didn't you say today all you want to say? 149 00:16:18,323 --> 00:16:23,243 I am only human. I recalled that they are our own relatives 150 00:16:23,363 --> 00:16:25,083 and I felt compassionate towards them. 151 00:16:26,563 --> 00:16:29,563 I then looked at your face and I felt you were in sympathy with them. 152 00:16:29,683 --> 00:16:35,043 I realized that even my best argument won't cut much ice with you. 153 00:16:36,163 --> 00:16:38,723 Give me another chance tomorrow, 154 00:16:38,843 --> 00:16:41,723 and I will give you what is enough to exterminate them all. 155 00:16:43,883 --> 00:16:46,923 Woe to Amr! What does he want? 156 00:16:47,043 --> 00:16:49,563 We thought he put his argument and we put ours. 157 00:16:51,523 --> 00:16:53,283 Tomorrow we'll know. 158 00:16:54,123 --> 00:17:00,403 Now, Amr. These are your own people. They have come back. 159 00:17:01,723 --> 00:17:03,563 What do you have to say today? 160 00:17:05,843 --> 00:17:10,963 Your majesty, they say something very serious about Jesus. 161 00:17:12,163 --> 00:17:14,403 Ask them about him. 162 00:17:20,603 --> 00:17:24,883 You've heard what your friend has said. What's your answer? 163 00:17:28,723 --> 00:17:32,203 Our view is that taught to us by our Prophet (peace be upon him): 164 00:17:32,883 --> 00:17:36,483 "Jesus is God's servant and messenger. He is His spirit and His word 165 00:17:37,283 --> 00:17:40,163 delivered unto virgin Mary." 166 00:17:57,403 --> 00:18:02,403 What you have just said about Jesus does not go beyond the truth 167 00:18:02,523 --> 00:18:04,243 by the width of this stick. 168 00:18:08,043 --> 00:18:12,643 You may go now.

I don't need it. 172 00:18:42,803 --> 00:18:48,403 God did not take a bribe from me when He gave me my throne back. 173 00:18:48,523 --> 00:18:55,003 I won't take a bribe or appease people in a case of His. 174 00:19:04,643 --> 00:19:09,403 Sire, you heard from us what we believe about Jesus, son of Mary. 175 00:19:09,523 --> 00:19:13,563 Wouldn't you ask Amr that he says about him? 176 00:19:17,443 --> 00:19:22,523 It is you, Amr, who follow neither these people's faith nor mine. 177 00:19:37,163 --> 00:19:41,923 Well.
