Moawiya

I was honestly looking forward to this series, but it didn't quite hit the mark for me. The story felt weak overall, and there were a lot of empty spaces in the script-scenes that didn't really add much or just dragged on. It made it hard to stay engaged. The cinematography was decent and there were a few shots that looked pretty cool, but I've definitely seen better in other productions. I feel like they had a big opportunity with this topic, but it wasn't used to its full potential. Not the worst series, but kind of disappointing considering the expectations

Not the worst series, but kind of disappointing considering the expectations.

In short, it just didn't do it for me.

As much as i was exited for this series it delivered more disappointment.

Can't believe how they skip over some of the most important historical events and put more focus on inappropriate scenes,

made us started to think if the producer is even Muslim?

Casting is TERRIBLE all around but how TF you get Ayman Zedan as Othman RA???

If Abu Jahl himself produced this series he wouldn't portrait Moawiya's Mother and wives like this production team did.

Plain disrespect and shame, there has to be hidden agenda.

Hopefully it will be taken down before Ramadan ends and someone got to audit where was the $100M spent.

Other views about Saudi Arabia thinking that ppl are stupid and don't read history is actually true!! We, muslims, know the history and we KNOW that Muaweiye the son of Abu Sofyan, was a dishonourable, scandalous and notorious person in Islam history...Saudi Arabia thinks that they can fool ppl by showing the Bani_Omayeh Qom were good ppl, thet were not! I would rate zero of course if I could. They didn't have respect for women and girls back then, yet I saw in the first episode that Abu Sofyan refused to eat lunch because his daughter wasn't there yet, I mean seriously?!! I genuinely burt into laughing!!! Everyone knows they had no respect for women, they buried the newborns who were girls!! Everyone know that!!! We actually studied the history! Plus women back then weren't like this as they show in the series in terms of Make up and outfit. I mean, plastic surgery was a thing back then?! Really?! Ya allah, and so many other problems. May allah forgive the writer and the producers and directors. Repent!

This production is made by corrupt people, who haven't paid the visual effects companies from India, Taiwan, China, Germany and Turkey so far.

The producer of this show refuses to pay the bills, unfortunately, the visual effects people will have no choice, as they take this show into the court as the producer left a lot of unpaid bills all over the globe.

As of now, the producers involved in this series are completely blacklisted in India, China and Taiwan. They highly don't recommend working with these unreliable and dishonorable people.

They will be taken to the court very soon.

You are going to be a bit more about this project, though very bad news.

The Moaviya series claims to be a historical drama, but in reality, it feels more like a political narrative designed to favor one sect while ignoring key historical facts. Unlike series like Omar, Mukhtar Nama, Prophet yusuf (A. S) or Imam Ali, which were based on strong historical research, Moaviya distorts events and characters to push a specific agenda.

One of the biggest issues is its selective storytelling. It glorifies Muawiya while downplaying or misrepresenting other key historical figures. Events like the Battle of Siffin, his conflict with Imam Ali (A. S/R. A), and his role in shaping early Islamic politics are either softened or twisted to create a one-sided portrayal. Instead of presenting history as it was, the series seems to be shaping a new version of the past to fit modern ideological narratives.

The production quality, costumes, and cinematography are impressive, but they cannot hide the fact that the show lacks historical credibility. It prioritizes dramatization over truth, which makes it misleading for viewers who do not know the real history. Unlike Mukhtar Nama, which provided a balanced and well-researched perspective, Moaviya feels like propaganda wrapped in high production value.

If you are looking for an accurate historical series, this is not it. The Moaviya series is more about political messaging than real history, and it does not deserve to be compared to truly great Islamic historical dramas.

4/10 Good visuals, but misleading content.
