Ramadan 2025: TV series Muawiya sparks controversy and bans in parts of Arab world

A senior figure from Egypt's highest religious authority has reportedly urged viewers to avoid watching the new Ramadan series Muawiya by Saudi broadcaster MBC, citing its sensitive subject matter and portrayal of key religious figures.
The upcoming Ramadan 2025 TV series "Muawiya," which focuses on the life of Muawiya ibn Abi Sufyan, has stirred significant controversy across the Arab world. The series, set to explore the historical figure who was the first caliph of the Umayyad Caliphate, has been banned in several countries including Iraq, Jordan, and Algeria due to its sensitive subject matter. Critics argue that the portrayal of Muawiya could potentially incite sectarian tensions, especially given the divisive historical narratives surrounding his rule and his role in early Islamic history. The show's production has been met with both anticipation and backlash, with some viewers and religious scholars expressing concerns over the depiction of such a pivotal and contentious figure in Islamic history. Despite the bans, the series has garnered attention for its ambitious scope and the debate it has ignited about freedom of expression versus respect for religious and historical sensitivities.
