Omar ibn Al-Khattab (TV series) Ramadan 2012

[Humaidan]

Salam Alikum my brothers & sisters,

This is a new tv series about Oman bin Al-Khattab.

The series will be dubbed into languages mostly spoken by Muslims and subtitled into other languages such as English and French.

The significance of the TV series depicting the life of Caliph Omar lies in the fact that he had played a very important role in the history of Islam and its spread after the death of Prophet Mohammed (PBUH).

Such a TV drama would become an important reference in the whole Islamic history.

Some muslims oppose it. What do you think?

Walaikum Salam,

It looks very good, but I was disappointed when I heard that the faces of people, who will play the role of Kholafa al-Rashideen, will be shown.

I heard that they will not be shown. Just like this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeB3a...ture=endscreen & the last clip from the other video only his voice & back , but I am not sure.

EDIT : I just search about it in google and this what I found :

وقال علي لموقع "النشرة" الالكتروني إن تجسيد الخلفاء في المسلسل "لن يحصل.. سيكون ظهور الخلفاء بشكل مجتزأ.. بالصورة التي ظهروا فيها في مسلسلات سابقة.. لن يكون لوجوههم ظهور، فعم يتحدث الصحافيون؟.

I think its only a rumor.

I hope you are right.

I hope this true. What is the source of this?

Faces of the four will not be shown as usual.

Thats good then.

[Sunni_Student786]

Faces of the four will not be shown as usual.

By "the four" do you mean the Khulafaa ur Raashideen?

Furthermore, if the faces of those four Sahabi will not be shown, will other Sahabi be portrayed by other actors?

Yes, Sahabis will be shown such as Khalid (ra) or `Ammar (ra) or Bilal (ra)... not much different than that old movie "The message".

Only the Rashideen won't be shown, and some other main Sahabis like Hassan (ra) & Hussein (ra)... as well as the women of-course.

But why this distinction between them? What makes it ok to depict s ome Sahabis and not others?

Nothing, this distinction has no origins.
