Great Movie, Great Cast, Great Story
I have seen both the Arabic version, and the English version. This movie was not dubbed from English to Arabic or from Arabic to English. A movie was created for each language with different cast both movies are very accurate and extremely well executed. The movie depicts Islam in its true form. Islam is about peace, equality, and freedom, war is only a last resort to free Muslims from persecution and oppression. The movie also shows the bond that exists between Islam and other religions. There is a lot more to Islam than what the movie shows but it's a good overall introduction to how Islam started and what it stands for. I highly recommend this movie to Muslims and non-Muslims. Movie buffs will love the movie because of the performance of the actors as well as the scenery; this movie was filmed in Morocco and Libya. You are in for another treat if you watch the director's commentary after the movie, it shows how the movie was made and to what great length Moustapha Akkad went to in order to preserve authenticity, you will also get a brief look at Muslims from around the world. (Currently the majority of Muslims are from non-Arabic descent)
The Greatest Movie on Islam & Prophet Muhammad made to date!
Asslaamu Alaikum! This is Arabic for what Muslims believe are 'elemental,eternal & Universal' greetings of Peace & Blessings to all Mankind...that's includes anyone including YOU on the Net Muslim or non-Muslim alike! The MESSAGE...is One and Only (to date) BEST Classic Religious epic ever made!!It beautifully captures the 're-birth' of Islam in 7th Century Arabia and the character of the Blessed & Last Prophet of God,'Muhammad' (arabic meaning 'The Praised One'. And here is the main reason of its Uniqueness from All Other Films ever Made!! It brilliantly portrays the HERO of this Historical Film without even showing a glimpse of the Hero...ie Prophet Muhammad...Why? & How? You Ask??...WATCH IT & See for Yourself!..Why the underlying Message of this Film is as beautiful & controversial as it was over 1,400 years as it is is today approaching the second Millenium!! Love, Peace & Brotherhood! Brother Nadim...(14/12/98) (1419 AH Islamic Calendar)
An Eye Opener
Having recently embraced Islam, I am happy to say this movie was my eye opener and a turning point for any doubts or confusions I had before I took my final step toward Islam. Once I watched it, I knew I was doing the right thing. It is brilliantly made, especially considering how old the movie actually is, and every time I watch it the tears flow more. I am glad the movie is back in circulation and know that it will help anybody who wants to learn more about Islam. I pray more people will take steps toward studying Islam and erasing any misconceptions they have. This movie will certainly help. It is accurate and reliable history and I recommend it as a teaching reference for anybody who wants to present Islam as well. It's even better when you watch it the second time round. I only wish they'd make it in more languages.
