Fire, fire! Wake up, men

Wake up, get water! Get water!

Fire, come quickly, men

Get water, come on!

Fire, fire!

Where's the water?

Make haste

Investigate what happened once we arrive to Acre

Allah foreordains and He does what He wills

Take it easy, my lord

- Was it an arson, Utba? - Arson?

Do you mean one our soldiers did it?

You and your commanders in Acre...

must find the perpetrator before I accuse each one of them

And now...

What shall we do about what happened?

We'll start over

"Episode 8"

Welcome

He's Abdullah Ibn Qays al-Jasi, my Lord

- Welcome, Abdullah - Hello, Governor of Damascus

Please, have a seat

Come on, pull harder!

Climb the mast

Archers, get ready Get ready

Get ready

- Come on - Let's go

The boat we've found at the beach...

which included arrows similar to those that hit our ships

belongs to you but we've investigated the matter

and realized that you didn't burn the fleet

Who did it, then?

I swear to Allah Almighty I won't repeat this question again

Who's the criminal who was tempted to burn the Commander of the Faithful's fleet?

Who?

The Commander of the Faithful and his judges decreed...

to decapitate this traitor today

It's Abu Qanatir and his son

It's them, sir

They're the ones who burned the ships

Who's Abu Qanatir?

He's one of the fleet's builders

Where do I find him?

I've looked for him but I didn't find him anywhere

Why did you hide this information if you weren't in cahoots with them?

Who would believe an idiot who lent his boat to those two

who came for a night cruise at Acre's sea

and he ended up helping them burn the ships without knowing

Where do you think they have fled?

Most likely...

to Constantinople

Constantinople

Be careful, men!

Hold on, Aba Zain!

Hold on, Aba Juhain!

Fasten the robes!

Raise the sails!

Raise the sails!

Hold on to the robe

Hold on, Aba al-Awar, hold on!

Be careful, be careful, boy

- Fakhita - Mu'awiya, what's happening outside?

It's just some wind, it's alright

We need more men, sir

Be careful, be careful, boy

Be careful, be careful, boy

It's the mightiest of waves yet

I hope it won't wreck the ship

Hold on, men

Make sure the men are alright Aba Suhayb

How are they doing, Aba al-Awar?

They will be alright, sir by Allah's will

Mu'awiya

Pardon me, Aba Abd al-Rahman

I've marred your joy upon the sea

I won't be joyful unless you're alright

I know how much you've wanted this

Forgive me

We'll reach the land in the matter of hours

Then, you'll be relieved from fever and become healthy by Allah's will

and you'll boast that you're the first woman from Quraysh who boarded a ship

I can barely see or hear you

They say that's how death begins

Don't be afraid, dear

Anyone who boards a ship for the first time feels the same

I've felt that before

A while ago...

I've surrendered to slumber

I've seen us both...

You were that young man who speaks of the world

it's countries and kingdoms

And here you are, conquering the sea

covering long distances

As if you had an intuition that you'd be victorious

My Lord, the Governor

Mu'awiya...

- I'll be right back - Get closer

Take some rest that the remedy may take its course

Take care of our children, Mu'awiya

Make not much of it you shall be well

My Lord, the Governor

"Cyprus, year 28 After the Hijra"

Aba al-Awar

- Get everyone ready - Yes, sir

Take your positions

Everyone, get ready

One, two, three!

This is the covenant of Mu'awiya Ibn Abi Sufyan...

Governor of Damascus appointed by the Commander of the Faithful

to the people of Cyprus

The Muslims pledge hereby...

not force anyone to leave their faith

and not to destroy any of their churches

and not to forbid them from holding their religious rituals

On condition that the island's citizens pay 7,000 Dinars annually

and inform the Muslims of all movements of the Byzantines

and never support their fight against Muslims on land and at sea

Governor...

We pay the Byzantines an equal tribute annually

You are no longer required to pay them

Have they defended you?

Have they stopped us from conquering your land?

They weren't expecting you could reach us

and I'm certain they'll fight you on our land

Tell Constantine that he'll face the worst if he even thinks about it

That's concerns you too if you tried to backstab us

Because the security of Cyprus is bound to the security of Syria

Trust us

And be certain that we respect our covenants

You'll see it yourself

Now, I command you to stop paying tribute to the Byzantines

This island is under our protection from now on

Where are you going, my Lady?

Help me get up

Should I send for the Governor?

No!

I want to see the wide sea

I testify that there's no god but Allah

Who'd have thought that Muslims would possess a mighty fleet to conquer Cyprus?

Cyprus had a weak Byzantine garrison nothing more

Today's victory is but a naught compared to the wars that await us with the Byzantines

Today's victory is but the beginning

Forget not that we have yet to partake in a naval battle

Forget not that we have yet to partake in a naval battle

Help us, my Lord!

- Help us, my Lord - What's the matter?

Help us, my Lord

Fakhita

Fakhita

Fakhita

Fakhita!

Fakhita

Fakhita!

Answer me!

Stand up, stand up

Stand up, come on!

Fakhita?

Fakhita

Fakhita, please

Fakhita, please

Stand up!

Please

"Medina"

I swear to you Commander of the Faithful

He led us into Fajr prayer with 4 Rak'as

and said, "do you want more?"

He spoke thus, swaying

I was unaware that Al-Walid partook in alcohol

No one complained about his reign in Kufa which lasted for 5 years

The Messenger of Allah may the blessings of Allah be upon him, said...

Peace be upon him

"If Fatimah daughter of Muhammad should steal, I would have her hand cut off"

Al-Walid is not as dear as Fatima for Allah's Messenger, Marwan

However, we want proof

This is his ring Commander of the Faithful

We took it from his hand while he was intoxicated

What do you think, Aba al-Hassan?

Have you seen him drinking with your own eyes?

He was throwing it up in the mosque

How did you know it's alcohol?

Do you think we don't know what it smells like?

Do you testify to the truth or you have a grudge on him?

Answer Aba al-Hassan, man

We're saying the truth

We've come this far to inform the Commander of the Faithful

with what his appointee to Kufa is doing

Commander of the Faithful I advise you to send for Al-Walid

and let's inquire of him ourselves

If he's been framed...

the slanderers will be punished

But if he's committing that sin...

we'll punish him

Marwan, send for Al-Walid to come at once

Yes, Commander of the Faithful

Thank Allah for your safety Aba Abd al-Rahman

May Allah bless you

- My condolences, my Lord - May Allah bless you, Sarjon

- To Allah belongs what He took - Thank Allah for everything

We take solace in your victory

Did anyone in the palace know about Fakhita's death?

No, I haven't told anyone yet

- Father, thank Allah for your safety - Ramla, my dearest

- May Allah bless you - Congrats on your victory, Mu'awiya

May Allah bless you

Where's Mother?

Where's Mother?

Where's Fakhita?

Mother

"Everyone upon Earth will perish"

"and there will remain the Face of Allah Owner of Majesty and Honor"

Allah Almighty is truthful

Observe patience and expect the reward from Allah, Brother

Allah loves the steadfast

Fakhita's body is no longer with us but her soul stays in our hearts forever

Seek forgiveness from Allah and ask Him to be merciful to her

She's with our loved ones

"And it is no possible for one to die..."

"except by permission of Allah at a decree determined"

May Allah be merciful to Fakhita

Why is my joy never complete, Sister?

What do you mean?

I always get bittersweet victories

When Mu'awiya, the commander wins...

Mu'awiya, the father, husband and brother loses

When we prevailed in Yarmouk I lost my mother

My eldest, Abd al-Rahman died during the fight to conquer Caesarea

When we conquered it by virtue of Allah...

I lost my brother

I divorced Maysun after building the fleet

Then Yazid left with her and stayed away from me

When I conquered Cyprus with our fleet

I lost Fakhita

Each time I prevail and take one step forward...

I'd take another step backwards

Allah has predestined that

Because Allah only tests His most pious servants

It seems to me that I'm destined to walk alone in this life

to lose all my loved ones one after the other

You are not alone

Your loss is our loss as well

But do you know what helps us endure that?

You, Mu'awiya

We derive our strength from you

You make us defy our sorrows

You're the one who remedies our pain and suffering

We live in a dream because of you

Why didn't you marry another man after your divorce?

Do you want to get rid of me that easy?

I'm afraid you might feel lonely just like I did

You're a lovely and loyal woman

You're a rare flower and I hope you won't wither away within these walls

I wouldn't find anyone who would replace my family's affection

Your suitors visit me every night

Haven't you applauded anyone of them to make up for what you've missed?

They don't want to marry Juwairiyah Bint Abi Sufyan

They're aspiring to marry the sister of the Governor of Damascus

Anyone who doesn't see the beauty of your heart is blind

Promise me you'll consider it again

But who would take care of my brother?

Think about it, Juwairiyah

Yes, Brother

Allah Akbar, Allah Akbar

I testify that there's no god but Allah

I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah

I testify that there's no god but Allah

I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah

Peace and Allah's mercy be upon you

Peace and Allah's mercy be upon you

Peace and Allah's mercy be upon you

Peace and Allah's mercy be upon you

O, Servants of Allah

Our preoccupation with conquest made us leave Damascus for a long time

Thus, you must have some demands

Go ahead, please

Come near, these are trusts I should render to their owners

May Allah reward you well

Tell me your demands and I'll do it by Allah's will

I haven't drunk alcohol Commander of the Faithful

It's a falsehood crafted by those who harbor ill will against me

You're the liar, Ibn Uqba

We saw you throw up alcohol

and we testify that you're a drunkard and lead others in prayer while drunk

Those are false witnesses Commander of the Faithful

Commander of the Faithful...

"Every soul, for what it has earned will be retained"

The evidence is clear with the witnesses statements

and if there was an enmity between Al-Walid and a group of them

What about the others who testified to his actions?

We shall enact the punishment upon the one who partakes in alcohol

based on the testimony of the citizens of Kufa

The one who shall carry out the punishment of Al-Walid...

Kufa's new Governor whom I commissioned to become his successor

Sa'id Ibn al-As

Allah Akbar

Allah Akbar Allah Akbar

Al-Walid is no stranger to that

Uthman appoints only the Ummayads and their brothers in law

Be careful, Muhammad

Don't criticize the Commander of the Faithful while I'm here

Uthman doesn't hesitate to carry out Allah's decrees

and does everything he can for the glory of Islam and Muslims

Aba al-Hassan, I was raised in the household of Uthman Ibn Affan

But I don't accept appointing Al-Walid and Ibn Abi Sarh as Governors

They're benefiting from their provinces and keeping the money for themselves

The onus of proof is upon the claimant, Ibn Abi Huthaifa

The onus of proof is upon the claimant

If you have the proof present it to the Commander of the Faithful

I swear he will precede you to do what's good for the nation

Aba Thar tried to get the Commander of the Faithful's attention but it was in vain

Now, he's leaving for Al-Rabdha alone

I'm amazed...

to have people like Abdullah Ibn Abi Sarh Al-Walid and Mu'awiya governing provinces

while the chief Companions and Early Muslims are excluded

The chief Companions don't want worldly vanities, Muhammad

But that money belongs to Muslims

If you don't want it, it should be given to all Muslims at least

not given exclusively to Ibn Abi Sarh and the like

This speech leads to turmoil so stop talking

All I want is to council the Commander of the Faithful regarding his Governors

Aside from that, I'm disassociated from that which you speak and Allah is my witness
