Morocco bans controversial British film on Prophet’s daughter
RABAT, Morocco (AA) – Moroccan authorities have banned a controversial British film about the daughter of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
In a statement, the Moroccan Cinematographic Centre (MCC) said “The Lady of Heaven” was banned from being screened or commercialized in Morocco.
The ban came hours after the Council of Ulema, Morocco’s highest religious authority, condemned the British film as a “flagrant falsification of facts” and a heinous “act which cannot be accepted by Muslims.”
The screening of the film, which portrays the Prophet’s daughter, Fatima al-Zahraa, was canceled in Britain after protests from the Muslim community.
The controversial film was supervised by a preacher notoriously known for attacking Prophet Muhammad, his wife Aisha, as well as caliphs Abu Bakr and Omar.
The film personally portrays the character of the prophet, which is strictly prohibited under Islamic teachings.
