The screenplay was written by Kurosh Barzegar, based on the book “Luster of Eternity” penned by Jafar Sobhani. It has been produced by the Dalvand brothers animation team, which previously produced animated series on Iranian heroes such as the classical warrior, Rustom.
It begins before the Prophet's birth, during what is known as the 'Age of Ignorance' (jahilliya) and continues through the Prophet's life until the passing of the Prophet. Currently at 26 episodes of 22 minutes each, the series runs 572 minutes long.
