Even though the movie was made 30 years ago, it still looks as if it was done a few years ago. Not only is the picture great, the story in the movie about how Islam started is amazing.

Read More This marvelous film will enlighten you with humility and truthfulness about the dawn of Islam in the heart of Arabia. For those unacquainted with the factual history and account of Islam, this beautiful film unveils the resurrection of the Religion to God Almighty, through the Prophet Muhammad and his followers. Like Noah, Moses, Jesus, and literally thousands of other Prophets of God, Muhammad corrects and revives the Religion of the Jews and Christians, now known to humanity as Islam, or submission to God. I advise all who view this film to be open minded and to remove all preconceptions of Islam, be they negative or positive. Islam is a religion of peace, respect, and tolerance. Leave the political jargon outside of the DVD. Enjoy! Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More I loved the movie, but didn't get a chance to complete it due to Blockbuster not sending both CDs. It also started making funny noises in the DVD player, so we had to eject it. What I saw left me wanting to see more. I finally had to order it online just to finish it. I think it's a great movie to have in your library! I can't wait to get it. I wished they would make a modern version of this movie in the same style. That way, more people would learn about the Prophet Mohammad and more would be exposed to Islam!

The message of the prophet was not negative in any way and, as a matter of fact, it would challenge one to think again about preconceived notions about the religion, Islam.---
They never showed his face... and I can respect that. 3 1/2 stars. It was thought provoking once I sat down and "watched" it. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||
