The Siege

The Transformation

After being implicated in a murder, Jaber runs blindly towards the faintest promise of a new beginning. But the road leads him to Al-Adliyah. There, his first vision awaits him.

The Escape Within

As soon as Jaber steadies his breath, crowds gather at the door, eager to receive his blessing. He, on the other hand, is far more eager to find the nearest way out.

A Thread To Heaven

Jaber is thrown into a tight corner when Shahla, the true granddaughter, arrives at the house. Torn between guilt and desperation, he bolts through the minefield—unaware of the “shock” awaiting him.

No Way Out

Now that the roles have been reversed and Shahla is in control, she demands answers. As the clock ticks towards the notary’s arrival, she and Jaber must make a fateful decision.

The Deal

After a tense exchange with the Colonel about the land, Shahla realises she cannot face him on her own. The villagers, empowered by their heritage, prepare to revive the Al‑Adliyah festival.

A Basin Of Fire

The Colonel leaves no room for mercy. Guilt weighs heavily on Shahla, while the villagers cling to the faintest sign of hope… until Mawlana finally breaks his silence.

Your Path is Green

With death under his feet and purpose in his grip, Jaber crosses the minefield to face the Colonel and negotiate a deal that could save himself, Shahla, and the villagers.

The Harvest

The harvest breathes hope back into the village, as Al Mukhtar tightens his grip on life, and Rasheed prepares for marriage. The Colonel ensures Jaber is always within arm’s length… in his own way.

I Am At Peace

The Colonel pays Mawlana an unsettling visit. Shahla warns Jaber against rattling the doors of the past. Abu Layla learns his lesson the hard way.

A Heavy Visitor

Tension fills the family home as Sami arrives carrying more than just a handful of memories with Shahla. Meanwhile, she finds herself torn between the weight of old wounds and the roots that refuse to let her drift.

The Suitor

Jawad’s jealousy flares over Zeina, who makes it clear she would do anything for Mawlana. A miracle arrives in Al-Adliyah, carrying far more than just a blessing for the villagers… and Jaber.

The Proof

Abu Khaldoon chases a clue tied to Taxi Al Salama. Blessed days pass over Al‑Adliyah… until the Colonel arrives, and the fuse of sedition is lit in its streets.

Taxi Al Salama

Despite the regret shadowing Salma, Rasheed, and Jawad, the village prepares for the wedding. The Colonel corners Jumana with a single deal—refuse it, and the price could be devastating.

A Blood Wedding

Al-Adliyah’s streets erupt in fury as the hunt for Rasheed and Jawad begins. With danger knocking on Mawlana’s door, Jouriyya warns of a looming curse. The Colonel? He waits impatiently for a “miracle”.

The Curse

Jaber steps up to the challenge, holding a doorstep trial where the judge’s silence speaks louder than any words. Shahla discovers what her spirit has been seeking all along.

The Punishment

A vision affirms to Jaber that fighting is ingrained in him, so he chooses fire over safety – but the miracle he brings this time carries a secret far darker than its innocent façade.

The Revelation

Between life and death, Jaber and Fares face a brutal reckoning. Shahla’s jealousy sparks a bold move. Elsewhere, Mawlana and his comrades hide away in the cave to shape their grand plan.

The Comrades

Meshmosh lets Jawad into his hidden world. Zeina bares her feelings to Mawlana, unaware of a silent watcher in the shadows. The Colonel pries open dangerous new doors.

The Black Box

Stripped of everything, Shahla scrambles for a plan B, while Jaber clings to plan A. Meanwhile, the Colonel forges his own—sowing death in the name of honour.

The Convoy Of Shame

With Zeina’s life on the line, a sign from the olive tree pushes Mawlana to confront her family and grant her an extraordinary guarantee—one that places him at odds with both Shahla and the Colonel.

Exoneration

The Colonel leaves Mawlana with a chilling wedding gift: a ticking ultimatum to abandon the village or face the fallout. Meanwhile, Jawad carries out the plan seamlessly.

Point-Blank Range

A perfectly executed plan by Mawlana’s men puts the alarm clock back where it belongs, undermining the Colonel’s pride and cornering him into a choice he can no longer postpone.

The Alarm Clock

Zeina searches for the key to Mawlana’s heart. Jumana returns to the village—but this time, everything about her return is different. The Colonel hunts for the traitor lurking inside the barracks.

The Assassination

As the men sink into despair, Mawlana finds himself caught between the villagers’ unshaken faith and the ghost of Jaber’s past closing in. Meanwhile, the fate of the tale rests in Shahla’s hands.

Al Barzakh

Mawlana rises from the brink of death, burying Jaber and the past behind him. With the olives and the legend as his compass, he moves to break the curse forever… as the Colonel watches his empire crumble.

The Legend

Al‑Adliyah makes its final stand: a full boycott of the barracks, shaking Abu Layla to the core. Inside Al‑Adel’s house, a transformation begins within Mawlana… pulling him towards roots that were never his.

As Mawlana’s men tighten the siege on the barracks, another one closes in on Shahla and Zeina. Overnight, Abu Layla disappears.

Shahla’s patience snaps, but Jaber locks her inside to stop her from making a reckless move. As the Colonel and “Mawlana” enter their final round of negotiations, the mosque’s call rallies the villagers.

The Truth

After the truth surfaces, the villagers turn to Mawlana’s command and march uphill towards the barracks—a final, breath‑held ascent where vengeance for the bloodshed meets loyalty to the tale.

Al-Jabriyya

On the run from his past and his community, Jaber becomes a fugitive and assumes the identity of a sacred heir—setting off a ruse in a forgotten village awaiting a saviour to revive its will to endure.
