Film Synopsis
“The thing that deserves to be loved most is that which brings forth the from the depths of our spirits the recollection of the Divine Name. The title of the Holy Prophet of Islam is Habib Allah, the beloved of God. This hub, this love for the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) could be described as the great transformative emotion of Islam”. - Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad
Did you not see how Allah illustrated the example of a sacred saying? Like a sacred tree, which has firm roots and branches reaching into heaven.
Bearing fruit at all times by the command of its Lord, and Allah illustrates examples for people so that they may understand.[Ibrahim 14:24-25]
The Blessed Tree documentary is the rediscovery of the tree whereas a child the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing be upon him) met with Bahira, the Christian monk who foretold the Prophethood of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
A meditation on the themes of love of the Prophet, veneration of holy sites, grace and symbolism. This film tells the story of the meeting between the Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon Him) and a Christian monk named Bahira. The meeting happened in the shade of a tree. This incident was when the Prophet Muhammad was 12 years old.
Fourteen hundred years later that same tree was discovered still alive in the northern deserts of Jordan. The only tree alive in hundreds of square miles of emptiness. This tree is a link to the life of the Prophet and a place of pilgrimage today.
Join us for the exciting event at M.E.C.C.A where we will screen the documentary and our host, Zainab Ismail will be having a skype conversation with Waseem Mahmood, the Programs Manager from Alchemiya. They will discuss the vision of the video on demand service and ideas on other future content for the service platform to benefit the global audience.
