At the “Muslim Leaders of Tomorrow” conference this year, I met, Saadi Alkouatli, the Creative Director for the trailer for the Muhabba Awards, which depicts Khalid ibn al-Walid in battle. I am sure you will agree, the quality of this trailer is breathtaking. One thing he mentioned was that at the end of the trailer there is a scene in which we see a lock of the blessed hair of the Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace), in actual fact, this is a real lock of blessed hair!
The director for this video is Oscar-winning director Stefan Ruzowitzky (winner 2008 of best foreign language film The Counterfeiters) – who won this oscar the night before the Mahhaba awards.
