A sequence of episodes follows a Persian traveler, a Meccan companion, and other figures as they intersect with the life and mission of Mohammed, portraying conversions, scriptural study, and moral struggles. Scenes trace pilgrimages and desert journeys, confrontations and sieges, the hardship of persecution, major battles, the triumphant entry into Mecca, and the founder's death and its aftermath.
