The Message – The Story of Islam

"It is the 7th century in Makkah, where powerful leaders are in conflict with the Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) who attacks their way of life and the injustice it produces. After seeing a vision of the Angel Gabriel, the Messenger calls the people of Mecca to cast aside the 300 idols of the Kaaba and worship only one God. Despite bitter opposition from the leaders of Mecca, the Prophet and his faithful followers meet secretly to listen to the revelations of the word of God. The leaders respond with persecution, forcing the Muslims to leave Makkah and take sanctuary in Medina.
After a revelation from God, the Prophet agrees to take arms against Makkah and battle until justice reigns. The idols of Kaaba are destroyed and the holy place is dedicated to the worship of one God."
This is the stunning epic of Islam produced and directed by Moustapha Akkad. Includes the one hour documentary The Making of an Epic, plus the English trailers. This classic has inspired thousands of Muslims throughout the world, and should be a part of every home video library. Makes a great gift!

The Message movie, or "Mohammed: Messenger of God" as its sometimes is called, is at once a magnificent epic motion picture, and at the same time, a very good introduction to the Islamic faith, both from its historical roots, and various elements of the faith itself (worship-wise). The Prophet is never depicted in the movie (his presence is indicated by the characters looking into the camera), along with the 4 khalifas and most of the known sahaba are also not depicted. Hamza (a.s.) and certain other sahaba are depicted.
