28th Episode

"Caution: The following show contains
disturbing images for young children"

- Do you know anything about my sons?
- I don't know.

- Do you have any news of my sons?
- I don't know.

Do you have any news for me?
I am Al-Khansa'

Hisham Ibn Utbah and the troops coming
with him from Syria seem to be delayed.

We have given people high hopes
of his arrival with 6.000 men.

We are about to meet our enemy on the
third day of the Battle of Al-Qadisiyyah.

We do not want people to be disheartened.

I think you better move out stealthily
to beyond Al-Qadisiyyah,

at this time of night,
making sure that you are unnoticed.

Then when it is broad daylight, you come
to us one hundred after one hundred,

like we did the first time.

If Hisham arrives, well and good.
If not, you heighten people's hopes.

They fought very hard (fiercely).
May God accept their efforts

and may He comfort you. Remain patient
and make them an offering to God.

I will only say what pleases my Lord.

We all belong to God
and to Him we all return.

I praise God for honouring me
with them being martyrs for His cause.

May He reunite me with them
in the place of His ultimate grace.

Look. By God, they are Hisham
Ibn Utbah's advance party.

All praise be to God who has brought you
before the fighting starts.

Soldiers are taking their positions
for the third day of the battle.

Where are the rest of your forces?

They will soon be arriving.

I have split them into sections,
with some distance between them.

What are you doing here?

This is a good trick.
I will do the same with my group.

You move on now.

All praise be to God.

God is Supreme!

God is Supreme!

- God is Supreme!
- God is Supreme!

- God is Supreme!
- God is Supreme!

- God is Supreme!
- God is Supreme!

Bring me some soldiers who belong
to the people of this land.

I want to ask them
about these elephants. Hurry.

Advance!

God is Supreme! God is Supreme!

Al-Qa'qa and Asim,
with a group of horsemen,

will move towards the leading elephant,
as the rest follow him.

They should strike the elephant
in his eyes and mouth.

God is Supreme!

God is Supreme!

God is Supreme!

Retreat.

- God is Supreme!
- God is Supreme!

God is Supreme!

God is Supreme!

God is Supreme!

God is Supreme!

God is Supreme!

God is Supreme!

- Where have you come from?
- Najd.

Have you heard any news of Iraq
and the people at Al-Qadisiyyah?

Everyone we met in every area
is awaiting the news as you do.

We set out from Najd
without having heard anything.

May God please you, brother,
and please us with the news we hope.

God willing. God willing.

It is several days now
and you continue to ask travellers,

but cannot find an answer, father.
It is midday and it is far too hot.

Wouldn't it be better for you to go back
and await the news that will please you?

When Saad's messenger comes,
he will not miss you.

You are not hastening the arrival
of the news by coming out of Madinah,

nor will you delay it by staying at home.

You go back, Abdullah.
As for me, I am unable to sit

and I can hardly sleep until I learn
what God has done to our brothers.

Haven't you heard the order of your
father and Ameer Al-Mu'mineen?

You will be guilty of two offences
if you stay. Get on (Go now).

Will you stay alone?
I will keep you company.

The only company I need is the News
of victory, God willing.

- Where have you come from?
- From Al-Qadisiyyah.

- Tell me, please.
- God has defeated the unbelievers.

Four days that
were harder than Yarmuk.

We had great difficulty against the elephants,

until God helped us against them.

- What about their commander?
- Rustom?

He was killed,
as were most of their commanders.

Saad ordered a chase to capture
those who fled.

Al-Qa'qa' chased them with his unit.
He killed Al-Fairuzan,

who is one of their top commanders.
Only Al-Hurmuzan escaped.

- What about the Muslim casualties?
- Eight thousand and five hundred.

Do you know where
I can find Ameer Al-Mu'mineen?

Prepare yourself to leave
with the palace men. Straightaway.

Won't you fight for
your ancestors' kingdom?

Had there been anything left of my
ancestors' kingdom, I would fight for it.

But to be killed in a disappearing
kingdom is plain folly.

How can you say this?

Do you leave Al-Mada'in to its fate
and leave, when you are...

What am I?
I was hiding among ordinary people,

making sure that no one learns of my
family and my relation to Khosrau,

so that Khosrau's relatives
won't kill me as they killed my father

and killed each other.

When there was nothing left of the
kingdom except its burdens and deaths,

they brought me here
and placed me on a throne

whose master they knew will be killed.

Thus, they did nothing other than
instead of killing me in Istakhr,

they offered me death in Al-Madain,
but with Arab swords.

Khosrau's Palace.
The White Palace.

Mention God often and praise Him.
Be humble in front of God as you enter.

I thank God that he made me leave
their land when I was a young lad

and took me to the land of Islam.

When I was here as one of them,

I would not dream of seeing
even a single article of all this.

We used to till the earth
for the princes and the tax collectors,

but would not get enough for our food.

Our hunger and poverty
were certainly due to this.

Those people who delivered this are
certainly true to their trust.

You have held back your hand,
and so did your subjects.

Had you taken for yourself
they would have done likewise.

Do you, Ameer Al-Mu'mineen,
cry when this is a greay day for rejoice?

By God, I do not fear for you hard
conditions and simple living,

but I fear for you the like of this.

When the world gives a community
such as this,

there will be much envy,
hatred and selfishness among them.

They will give priority to
their shares of this world

over those of the hereafter.

Where is Suraqah Ibn Malik?
I have sent for him.

Here he comes.

What's going on?

Do you know what these are?

How could a Bedouin like me
know what these are?

These are Khosrau's headdress, belt,
bracelets, crown and clothes.

This is the fulfillment
of the Prophet's promise to you.

It has has come true.
Now wear them.

How would you feel
if you wear Khosrau's bracelets?

Khosrau? The King of Persia?

He told me to inform you that
after he saw you coming forward.

Walk back.

Come forward.

Well, well! A Bedouin from the tribe of Mudlij
is wearing Khosrau's stuff: headdress,

trousers, sword, belt, crown and shoes.

There were days, Suraqah,

when wearing these articles
of Khosrau and his people

would count as a source of honour
for you and your tribe.

But, what is with God
is much better. Take them off.

Aren't they for me?

Yours is only the privilege of wearing them,
as God's Messenger had promised you.

They, like the rest of these,
belong to the Muslims.

Everyone will receive their shares
of what God has given us.

Take them off.

My Lord, you have not given these
to Your Messenger and Prophet

when You loved and
honoured him more than me.

You have not given them to Abu Bakr

when You loved and
honoured him more than me.

I appeal to You to preserve me
against the lure of these gifts.

Are you going out at this time of night?

Why do you trouble yourself
with such inspection at night?

If it is necessary,
appoint someone to undertake it.

I consider myself in relation to Muslims
as a father of young dependents.

I need to check on them
day and night, as often as I can.

God sees what I do at night
and during the day.

Go back and sleep;
may God bless you.

- Peace be to you.
- And peace be to you too.

Too long is the night;
its stars journeying on.

Yet, here I am, sleepless,
with no mate to play with.

We play for a while, yet,
for a second while his eyebrow

appears like the night's moon.

Had it not been for fearing God,

activity would be rife on this very bed.

I fear the one assigned to watch us,
writing all we do through life's journey.

God bless you.

She has done no wrong.

She misses her husband,
but her morality stops her from sin.

What is good morality other than restraining
one's desire so that one commits no sin?

A person whose desire has gone
cannot claim good morality.

And the one who cannot restrain his
desires cannot claim that he is abstinent.

Do you know the woman
of this house, Aslam?

She's a desperate woman.
Her husband is in Saad's army.

It is our duty to find out how long a woman
can tolerate her husband's absence.

We then issue orders that soldiers
must not be absent for longer than that.

If they will be away too long,
they should take their wives.

Wives and husbands
have equal rights and duties.

All praise be to God for having given us
the kingdom of Persia, as well as Syria.

It is time that we should organize how
the money is shared out among Muslims,

according to a policy that is known to all.

Thus, everyone will know their rights.

Abu Bakr used to share it out
among people equally.

He did not consider their status in Islam

and whether they belonged
to the early Muslims.

He believed that that is a matter that
will be given its full reward by God.

I have a different view.

I do not equate a person who fought against
the Prophet with one who fought with him.

Nor do I place on equal footing those
who converted after the fall of Makkah

and those who were Muslims before that.

I take into consideration
people's early adoption of Islam,

their striving for its cause and their roles
in Islam, and also their different needs.

By God, if I live,

a shepherd in the mountains of Sanaa
will receive his share in this money.

What do you think?

We leave it up to you.
Do as you think fit.

If you or any of us should have a different
view later, we can discuss it again.

I see that much money has come in
and it will help people.

More will be forthcoming, God willing,
when the rest of Persia will fall to us.

God willing.

As for Syria, it now totally belongs
to the Muslims except Jerusalem.

May God facilitate
its acquisition in due course.

Moreover, people have also increased.

Unless they are recorded,
to establish who has taken what,

there may be much confusion.
- This is right. So, what do you suggest?

Do as the Byzantines and the Persians do.

Establish a record of allowances
and soldiers. Appoint an official

to keep written records according
to people status and their dues.

We, thus, will know what is paid
to them by the state treasury,

and we know who
has not received their benefits.

We will also know what remains
in the treasury for emergencies.

This is a sound suggestion.

We should also make a similar Record
in which we hold the letters and messages...

we receive. It should have
scribes to write our letters.

We have many more officials now and
there is much greater need to the letters.

And a similar record for land tax.

What is all this, Abdullah?

Clothes to wear and money
sent by Ameer Al-Mu'mineen.

Why is he sending me these,
may God bless him?

Think well.

He has written to Saad
to give your husband leave of absence.

In fact, he has issued an order that
married soldiers should not remain away...

for more than four months.

How did he know my feelings?

This is not up to you,
Ameer Al-Mu'mineen!

God says in the Qur'an:

"Know that one-fifth (1/5) of whatever
booty you may acquire in war is for God...

and the Messenger, and for the
near of kin, the orphans, the needy...

and the traveller in need."
(Sura Al-Anfal/"The Spoils of War"/verse 41)

This land which God has gramted
to the Muslims in Iraq and Syria

should go to those
who actually fought the war there.

You should divide it among them.

No. The right view is that
of Ameer Al-Mu'mineen.

The land remains whole and
is not divided among the soldiers.

Its yield and taxes from it will therefore
go to all Muslims, present and absent.

In this way, they would not just circulate
among those of you who are rich.

Every single Muslim
thus has a share in these gains.

How about those later Muslims who will then
find the land having already been divided

and owned?

What is left for descendants and
widows in this place and elsewhere

in Syria and Iraq?

All Glory be to God! A land that God
has granted to its conquerors,

and you want to hold it
so that its benefit goes to...

those who were not there and to their
children and their unborn descendants?

Why shouldn't I?

Has God sent His Messenger
for contemporary people only?

Has Islam been revealed to set matters
right for this generation only?

By God,

I fear that God will question me
about those who will come after me.

Whatever decision we will make today will
not only affect those who are alive now,

but will also affect those
who will come after them.

If it is an evil or unjust decision,
we will be accountable for it,

even after we are dead.
He is a bad governor who says...

that he only needs to look after
the welfare of those living under him,

and that what happens
after him is of no concern to him.

Today we are establishing
the foundations of the Islamic state,

so that it will remain solid
and strong for all generations to come.

By God,

I shall not divide the conquered land
to enrich a certain group or one generation,

leaving subsequent generations poor.
Remember that God says:

"It must not just circulate
among those of you who are rich."

This is the reason.

How about our front lines and the cities
that need to have armies to defend them.

How will we raise the money necessary
for them if the land is divided?

This is true, but there is more.

Those farmers and peasants
in Iraq and Syria:

What will happen to them
if we were to take their land

and give it to the soldiers?

Won't we be harder on them
than the Persian tax collectors

and the Byzantine rulers?

Haven't they accepted our authority
and become our subjects?

Isn't it true that they only sided with us
and accepted our rule

when they saw that Islam
is fair and compassionate?

It is better, then, that
we leave them in their land

and take a normal land tax
to spend on defence

and other needs of the population.

In this case, they will be more
susceptible to Islam,

and this is our aim.

We are advocates of Divine guidance.

We are not in it for either
tyranny or money.

Peace be to you.

Ameer Al-Mu'mineen!

A group of traders
have arrived in Madinah.

How do you like to join me
in guarding them tonight?

What is wrong with this child
that he is continuously crying?

Fear God and take care of your child.

What is wrong with you, woman?
You seem to be a bad mother,

letting the child cry all the time.

I have told you to pacify him
but you did nothing.

I am trying to distract him from my breast,
and to wean him, but he refuses.

- How old is your baby?
- Six months.

Why do you want to wean him so early?

Umar gives an allowance only
to a weaned child, not a suckling one.

All power operates by God's will.

What have you done
to Muslim children, Umar?

Look, woman.
Do not try to wean him.

I guarantee you that Umar
will change his mind.

I had made an allowance for weaned
children, but not suckling ones.

I have changed my mind.
Do not hasten your babies weaning.

The allowance will apply
to every child, suckling or weaned.

We shall increase it as children grow up
and their needs increase.

Aslam, announce this
throughout Madinah.

Wretched is Umar. How many
Muslim children has he killed?

This letter is from Amr Ibn Al-Aas.

He has been besieging Jerusalem
for four months,

but its walls give it protection.

The Byzantine commander
was the leader of its defenders.

However, he left for Egypt after he had
despaired of receiving any reinforcements.

The people of the city and its Patriarch

have expressed their desire to enter
into a peace agreement with us.

However, they make it a condition

that I myself should conclude
the Peace Agreement with them.

What do you advise?

Having sued for peace, they are clearly
not in a position to defend the city

after the Byzantine forces have left them.
I feel that you should not go yourself.

They will then realize that
you do not give them any high status,

but rather ready to fight them.

It will not be long before they
will accept to make peace with Amr.

I think it is better that you go and
conclude the Peace Agreement with them

as they have requested.

They want the Peace Agreement
to be concluded by Ameer Al-Mu'mineen

so as to be sure of their safety
and the safety of their churches

and prayers to the end of time.

They want to make sure that no Muslim
will later breach your agreement with them.

You may go with God's blessings.

Who is the Caliph?

A very warm welcome to the just Caliph.

Peace be to you with God's mercy.

None of them looks like a king.

In the name of God, the Lord of Grace,
the Ever-Merciful.

Here are the peace terms granted
by God's servant Umar Ibn Al-Khattab

to the people of Jerusalem.

He has granted them full peace
and safety for themselves,

their properties, churches, crucifixes,

including their sick and healthy and
everyone belonging to their Jewish faith.

Their churches shall not be
occupied (inhabited), destroyed,

partitioned, nor will their areas
be diminished in anyway.

None of their crucifixes or
property shall be taken away.

They shall not be coerced
with regard to their faith.

None of them shall be harmed.

In confirmation of
the terms of this document

we grant a covenant by God,
and the pledges of God's messenger,

the Caliphs and the believers.
