"Surely Allah and His angels bless the Prophet; O you who believe, call for blessings on him and salute him with salutations." - The Quran
God willing, we are producing the highest quality documentary series on the Life of the Prophetﷺ. These are entertaining, engaging films, that the whole family can watch together and passionately convey this well known story . This endeavour brings together some of the most globally respected Muslim scholars and experienced Muslim creatives with decades of mainstream television experience (BBC, PBS, Discovery, A+E, National Geographic TV). With God's grace we see this as a unique opportunity that will educate and inspire a global audience, about the life of our Beloved Prophetﷺ. Last month, Alchemiya reached out to the LaunchGood community for support to produce original content. When we asked what films and content they want to watch, the answer was clear. ‘.... more films about the Life of the Prophet Muhammadﷺ' We then scoured the planet looking for the best of what has been produced about our beloved Prophetﷺ and there are only 2 …..yes just 2 ….. documentaries about his life ……and that is both shocking and heart-breaking.
Our intention is to produce documentaries that create positive awareness of The Prophetﷺ and his life. Our main audience is the Muslim family who are longing for a television experience that respects their values and engages them. This series will also appeal to non-Muslims audiences who seek to learn and understand the significance of The Prophet’s life.
The following scholars and experts will oversee and contribute to the research, scripts and final completed films to ensure their accuracy.
The Prophet Muhammadﷺ is considered to be one of the most impactful of people to have ever lived. His legacy is 1.9 billion followers, almost 25% of the planet, who consider him their everyday role-model and spiritual guide. His life, actions and behaviour are an example to every Muslim. These stories, narrations and teachings form a rich body of source material that give us a clear picture of his life, key events and the society around himﷺ.
This is a very sensitive issue. When we talk about The Prophetﷺ and film - the immediate assumption is that the film will involve actors and break the religious injunction that prevents any representation of our beloved Prophetﷺ.
NO, NO…No … We mean DOCUMENTARIES …. NOT MOVIES. With many years of professional documentary experience (BBC, DISCOVERY, PBS, NAT GEO) we know it is possible to produce an accurate TV series without any actors. We are guided by the scholars in the list above in this regard.The documentaries will feature a range of experts, scholars and historians that share their understanding of The Prophet’sﷺ life. These interviews are intercut with informative maps, graphics and calligraphic artwork, that enhance the viewing experience. The series will feature artefacts and locations that add depth and texture to the stories. Beautifully and simply told, a heart-warming viewing experience for families. While we appreciate our intellectual tradition, we understand the need for content that both parents and children can watch together.
Our priority is to maintain editorial independence and we invite you to collaborate with us by donating financially to ensure this. We seek Allah's blessing and barakah in honouring the Prophetﷺ. Our tradition demands that we invite as many people as possible to share in this effort. Your donation, no matter how small, will be a continuous source of benefit and blessing for you for as long as the films are being viewed at any time in the future.
Alchemiya is a video streaming service (like Netflix) that offers the very best Muslim content from across the world. Frustrated at the endless negative stories, we focus on celebrating Islam and Muslims in an entertaining and informative way. Our content covers culture, art, history, heritage, food, fashion, travel and so much more. We offer a curated selection of movies and drama sourced from across the globe.
Alchemiya is available directly at www.alchemiya.com through our dedicated iOS and Android apps, which allow you to watch on mobile devices, tablets and cast to Smart TVs.

Muslim Kids TV Crisis: What should Muslim children watch?
Television is changing and there is a lot of content available for our kids to watch. But what about Muslim parents? Should they allow their children to watch what is available? Does the content reinforce or go against Muslim family values and identity?
Join our discussion on Muslim Kids TV Saturday, 12th September at 7.30pm BST

Navid Akhtar Interview
Salams All.
Thank you all for your support. Please do share with your networks the Alchemiya LaunchGood campaign and anything we push out on our social media channels.
Alchemiya Founder and CEO, Navid Akhtar, was interviewed by Dr. Shadee Elmasry to discuss his past as a BBC film maker, the role of art and entertainment in a believer's life, and the first Muslim targeted streaming site, Alchemiya.com
https://soundcloud.com/safina-society/art-entertainment-in-muslim-life-a-discussion-with-navid-akhtar
It's a 2 hour session which is in depth and wide reaching and well worth the listen as Navid goes in to detail as to the importance of a platform like Alchemiya.
Best wishes
The Alchemiya Team
