"The Message" tells the story of the birth of
Islam, from the Prophet Muhammad's first revelation from God to his death. The
film follows the Prophet's story (though never showing the Prophet himself, as
Islamic tradition ordains) as he starts with a handful of believers, and over
the coarse of 23 years, establishes a mighty force that shook the world. The
story is most excellent. The script was well written and approved for its
accuracy in telling the story of the Prophet. The actors are wonderful in
portraying the people who were in involved the Prophet's life. Anthony Quinn is
simply magnificent as Hamza, the Prophet's uncle. The cinematography of the
film is breathtaking. The Oscar-nominated music for the film by Maurice Jarre
is phenomenal. The director, Moustapha Akkad, could not have done a better job.
This film is without a doubt a perfect 10.
Now, about the special features: The film comes in two
discs, the first is the English version of the film and the second is the
Arabic version of the film. The two versions of the film were shot together by
two separate casts. Akkad originally made the film so he would have an instrument
to teach his children the history of their faith, as well as the general public
at large. And since he had established his life in California, he initially
wanted to make the film in English. He then realized he wanted to pay homage to
the religion by presenting it in the language that the events happened in, so
he made a valiant effort to bring together actors from the Arab world to play
the parts in the film. The film is handsomely presented in anamorphic
widescreen. The sound is presented in its original Stereo 2.0 surround sound
mix. Both the video and audio have been remastered for this release. The DVD
also includes an enlightening commentary track by Producer/Director Moustapha
Akkad on both versions of the film (English commentary for the English version
of the film and Arabic commentary for the Arabic version of the film). Also,
there is a Making of an Epic: Mohammad - Messenger of God (the working title
for the film) that runs for approximately 44 minutes.
I highly recommend this movie for anyone who wants to learn
about the history of Islam, the Prophet Muhammad, or just wants to watch a
great epic movie.

4.0 out of 5 stars Understanding Islam
Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2012

From a Muslim point of view, I think the movie was very
informative with very good information on the subject of understanding Islam. I
think that if the believer of other faiths were exposed to the information
produced in the film it would change their view of Islam in a more positive
light. So often today Islam is portrayed in a negative light, especially by the
media, that many have formed opinions that are baseless.
One of the strong points of this video was its ability to
separate the fundamentalist or extreme view versus the orthodox or current
views of the religion. I think that if this movie was shared with the public,
it would offset much confusion as to the beliefs of Muslims. This film should
also be incorporated into the classroom setting for students trying to learn
more about the religion.
If I could make a suggestion on how to improve this film, I
would suggest more information on Abraham's other son Ishmael. The Christians
of the bible would be able to relate to the history of the Muslims if they
could identify with something that was familiar to them. In the book of
Genesis, it details Ishmael and the blessings that he received from Allah.
Although many bible scholars believe that the covenant was only for Issac, the
bible clearly gives indication that Ishmael would receive blessings as well.
The circumcision was one of the covenants that tied the children of Abraham
together. When Abram became Abraham at the age of 99, everyone in his household
was circumcised including Ishmael. When Ishmael and his mother left Abraham's
home, they eventually settled in the desert of Paran. Scholars all agree that
the Desert of Paran is what is now known as modern Saudi Arabia. It should be
noted that Muhammad (PBUH) is recognized as a descendant of Ishmael. If I had
to make an emphasis or correction as to the understanding of Islam, this would
be the only thing required to ensure that a full understanding is required even
if it is controversial in some eyes.

I wish everyone would watch this to counter the many
negative influences out there. I gained so much more of an understanding of
this scared Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca. I was really taken by all the different
cultures coming together in one place, young and old. Such a beautiful
expression of devotion. I also felt there was so much more of the story that
could be told. I wonder what the experience is like for wealthy Muslims. Do
they reside in those massive buildings surrounding the Kabba? It would have
been amazing if they could have filmed inside the Kaaba.
