Stream Islam's Greatest Stories of Love
Islam's Greatest Stories of Love is an extraordinary exploration of love's boundless power to heal, inspire, and transform. At the heart of the film is Ariella, a brilliant young Muslim scholar whose life is upended by the tragic loss of her father. Shattered but determined, she embarks on a bold journey to uncover answers to life's most profound questions: What is love? Can it endure across time and adversity? And how do we rebuild after losing it? Along the way, Ariella is captivated by five astonishing tales from the Islamic tradition — stories that redefine love's meaning.
She delves into an epic poem of star-crossed love as tragic as Romeo and Juliet and unravels the mysteries of the Taj Mahal. She discovers a largely unknown story about how family love shaped Malcolm X and finds empowerment in the remarkable partnership of the Prophet Muhammad and his wife Khadija. Woven through these rich narratives is Ariella’s own quest to rediscover faith, hope, and the courage to love again. With breathtaking storytelling and universal resonance, Islam’s Greatest Stories of Love invites viewers on a journey as unforgettable as the stories it unveils, reminding us that love is not just an emotion; it is a force.
