A beloved Egyptian television series returned on the state broadcaster Wednesday, allaying fears that this year’s Ramadan would be the first in nearly three decades without the show.
Dubbed in the local Dhivehi language, Muhammad Rasoolallah, a five-part series about the lives of the prophets from Abraham to Mohamed (pbuh), aired daily on Television Maldives every Ramadan but was expected to be discontinued this year.
Islamic Minister Dr Ahmed Ziyad told the press in November that it would be replaced with a new drama series about warrior-king Salah ad-Din.
While the new show debuted Thursday night, TVM began airing Muhammad Rasoolallah on the first day of Ramadan with morning and evening time slots.
