Overview
Dawn of Islam is an Arabic historical drama set at the birth of the Islamic faith in the Arabian Peninsula. The story follows young Hassem, son of Al-Harith — a powerful tribal chief who maintains his dominance through raids, plunder, and the slave trade. When Hassem falls for Leila, a slave belonging to his father's business partner, he seeks to marry her. His journey eventually leads him to Mecca, where an encounter with the Prophet Muhammad profoundly transforms him. Embracing Islam, Hassem returns to his tribe as a changed man — only to face the fierce opposition of his father, who sees the new religion as a direct threat to his power and way of life. A sweeping tale of faith, defiance, and the dawn of a new era.
