Synopsis: Abu Sufyan informs Abu Taleb, Muhammad's uncle, that he plans to kill the Holy Prophet of Islam. Upon hearing this, Abu Taleb remembers the earlier years of their struggles.

As recounted in the Quranic chapter of al-Fil (105), by the order of Abraha, King of Habasha, one of his army commanders launches an attack on Mecca in order to destroy the Kaaba in the year 570 AD. He leads a well-equipped force comprised of thousands of soldiers, horses and elephants. As the army approaches Mecca, the elephants respond to divine order by halting and refusing to continue. Millions of small birds then release a hail of stones onto Abraha’s forces and the army is annihilated. A month later, Muhammad is born. This film depicts the pagan age with all its tyranny and oppression as seen through the eyes of Muhammad from birth to the age of 13.

Majid Majidi was nominated for a foreign language Oscar in 1998 for “Children of Heaven.”
