The Boy and The King - Animated Movie

The story surrounds a young boy called Obaid. He is confronted with a choice to live an easy life in this world or to struggle for reward in the Hereafter. The story takes place during the tyrannical rule King Narsis, who controls his people by encouraging them to worship idols and frightening them with the magic of Cinatas, his evil sorcerer. Cinatas chooses Obaid to be his student, someone who will assist him in his magic. At first, the boy is tempted by dreams of the power and the influence he will wield as the king's next sorcerer. But, soon after he starts to question his priorities. He begins talking to a righteous and a very holy man, who opens his mind to the true meaning of life.
This righteous man tells Obaid that there is only one God, Allah Almighty and that He created mankind to worship Him alone. Though these words appeal to Obaid’s heart and mind, he's still pretty much confused. The righteous man advises him to seek the truth on his own – and thus begins the boy’s quest for the real meaning of life. But how can Obaid find out the truth? And, if he finds it, will he have the strength to follow it – regardless whether it will cost him his life?
This story is taken from an authentic narration or a Hadith of Islamic prophet Muhammad that explains the reference to “The people of the ditch” in Surat Al-Burooj from the Holy Qur’an {85:4). The Qur'anic story is about a boy who believes in Allah Almighty, and he is blessed with divine protection from the plotting of a wicked king.

Watch this film! Don’t miss it!











THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD (SAAS)

One night in April 571 AD, 14 bastions of the palace of the fire-worshipping Persian emperors were torn down. That destruction was a sign and great glad tidings of the coming into the world of the Prophet Muhammad (saas). His coming would bring with it knowledge, and ignorance would depart. Justice would come, and oppression be brought to an end. Civilization would come, and savagery come to an end. After that, the world would be illuminated by the light of the true faith revealed to him. In this film you will see the superior moral values of the Prophet Muhammad (saas), sent by Almighty Allah as a mercy to the worlds, and witness how the message he preached from his faith and trust in Allah spread quickly, by His will, across a very wide geographical area. You will see the persistence and determination of the Prophet (saas), a means whereby millions of people over the last 14 centuries have turned to faith and come to live by the moral values revealed in the Qur’an, and how the impact on the world of the True Faith imparted to the Prophet (saas) is today growing ever greater and how hundreds of people every day are flooding to the true path shown by him.








PROPHET ABRAHAM (AS) AND PROPHET LOT (AS)

Throughout history God has called people to the true path through the prophets He has sent them. The aim of all these holy individuals has been one and the same: to call people to believe in God and to serve only Him. They relayed the Divine religion to humanity and demonstrated how to live the ideal life. Thus, these chosen servants of God represent the very finest model of superior characteristics, proper moral values, and ideal behavior and reactions to events. Two of these blessed individuals are Prophet Ibrahim and Prophet Lut (peace be upon them).
