The heart-wrenching journey of Lady Fatima, the daughter of Prophet Muhammad. Separated by 1400 years, an Iraqi child, in the midst of a war-torn country at the hands of ISIS, learns the importance and power of patience. After losing his mother, the child finds himself in a new home, where a loving grandmother narrates the historical story of The Lady and how her suffering as the first victim of terrorism spun out of control into the 21st century.

In its preaching, though, Eli King's film adopts a plodding conventional manner — a Muslim equivalent of the style used by most biblical movies, with all the dialogue in English.

For a film that aims to promote religious diversity and freedom of thought, its metronomic alternation between time frames, narrative slavishness and laughable coda have a suffocating sense of orthodoxy.

A shoddy script and an overwhelming reliance on clichés... make this would-be blockbuster feel incredibly cheap.

The filmmaker gives half a shout-out for his Islamic religion to go the non-violent route.

Beautifully made film about the devotional nature of islam, as in the story of Lady Fatima, and how that story inspires people to go a good way, not the way of destruction and war

Here you will see the facts that liars hide about the injustice that the family of the Messenger was subjected to.

MUST WATCH IF YOU ARE A MUSLIM and if you want to know the truth of Islam. It's a sad but beautiful film and will only strengthen your faith if you are true. Watch with an open mind and thoroughly research anything you're unsure about instead of just dismissing, rejecting or being biased. "The acquisition of knowledge is compulsory for every Muslim". - Prophet Muhammad ﷺ The only downside to this film is that they show faces of important religious figures. This is not something that is accepted in any fold of Islam, whether Shia or Sunni.
