All bets are off when the Quraysh initiates a brutal crackdown against the community of the believers. No act is too depraved, no savagery is spared. Though the companions are patient and persistent, they are only human after all.

Exorcists, professional wrestlers, and highway robbers—these are just some of the attendees at Mecca's biggest event. And with the Prophet (peace be upon him) on the lookout for potential converts to Islam, only Allah knows where the next new Muslim may come from.

A devious plot is interrupted by a shocking event on the world stage. With the Hajj season right around the corner, the pressure on the Prophet comes in from every angle. Even Abu Talib is left wondering if he can protect his nephew much longer.

Amr ibn Hisham faces a PR disaster following Waleed's positive comments on the Quran. The Quraysh will do everything in their power to silence the message of Islam, whether that involves slander, threats, or bribery. Can the Rasul remain uncompromising in the face of such relentless pressure?

Disheartened by Islam's bad reputation in Mecca, the companions come up with an idea to introduce the beauty of their religion to the public. But as the companions plan, so do the elite. The two conflicting plans are set to collide with disastrous consequences.

Now that Islam is a public call, the call to stand against it is public too. And the chief instigator is none other than the Rasul's uncle. As the family of the Prophet begins to feel Abu Lahab's wrath, the Prophet himself must lead by example when responding to such a crude enemy.
