Have you watched Omar Series? It is controversial due to the personification of the Sahabas. However, there are a lot of things regarding Islamic History and strong values one can learn from this series. The show highlights significant events of the emergence and uprising of Islam, with Saiyidina Omar as the main character.
To each his own on this matter. If you think it’ll benefit you, watch it. If you find it unacceptable, don’t watch it.
Wallahua’lam.
