A new webseries based on the life of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) which was built using artificial intelligence is streaming for viewers across the world.

Named ‘Muhammad: The Mercy for the Multiverse’, the series is a collaboration between creators from Pakistan and Singapore.

Billed, the ‘most important story ever told’ by its creators, the series is divided into ten episodes. The first episode is titled ‘The House Remains’ and is already available to watch free of cost here.

“The stage is set for a profound saga of divine will and human spirit, tracing the roots of monotheism and the enduring legacy of Prophet Ibrahim’s PBUH lineage,” the episode’s description reads.

The rest of the series is expected to be released during Ramadan.

A trailer of the webseries is available on YouTube, and shows many scenes that can be immediately recognisable for many people, including what seems to be a scene of the reconstruction of the Kaaba after a flood.

The series came about through a collaboration between Qur’anscape, an online spiritual learning platform, and Qalbox at MuslimPro, a streaming service.

“Immerse in an animated series depicting Prophet Muhammad PBUH’s life, exploring pre-prophethood milestones, post-revelation challenges, and the compassionate essence of Muhammad,” the show’s description reads.

The series is written by Lahore-based Fatimah Sattar, who also wrote the sreenplay for Sarmad Khoosat’s movie Kamli.

Lahore-based Emad Khalid, of Prompt Media Lab, has directed the series, while Arsalan Abbas of Quranscape has produced it. Singapore-based Junaidah Bte Said Khan worked on the series as executive producer.

The team took a mufti on board to ensure that all drafts and scripts for the film were free of any mistakes or errors. However, the original idea came to Sattar by watching lectures from yasir Qadhi.

“By integrating AI, we’ve been able to bring these timeless narratives to life in a way that’s both fresh and deeply respectful,” the executive producer told a recent interview.

While the team embarked on the project to pioneer the use of generative AI in creative storytelling, director Emad Khalid said that the team wanted to tell the stories cherished for generations in an ‘authentic way’.

The team behind the webseries has found particularly good feedback from US, France, Indonesia, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Malaysia.
