Movie Synopsis: By the order of Abraha, King of Habasha, one of his army commanders launches an attack on Mecca in order to destroy the Kaaba. He leads a well-equipped force comprised of thousands of soldiers, horses and elephants. As the army approaches Mecca, the elephants respond to divine order by halting and refusing to continue. Millions of small birds then release a hail of stones onto Abraha's forces and the army is annihilated. A month later, Muhammad (PBUH) is born. This film depicts the pagan age with all its tyranny and oppression as seen through the eyes of Muhammad from birth to the age of 13...
Faithful to Islamic sources, this film constantly recalls the words of Quran about prophet Mohammad: he is a mercy for all creatures,' esp when he tears a string out of his clothes to avoid hurting a small plant. --------------------------------------------------------------- After a long time, this film worth being watched in cinema for more than once with whole family! Even children were enjoying it.------------ All effects and story line is great esp referring to unfair sanctions and it tries to show that Islam is not what we think as we must try very hard to know its real nature. Regarding the recent tensions, this film can be considered fresh and updated. Congratulation to all the crew esp Majidi. I hope all Muslims help produce next parts.
"Muhammad: The Messenger of God" is a fantastic movie that shows a different face of Islam prophet include the real facts of his life. In this time which in some extremist groups such as Alqaedah, Daesh and Bukuharam are killing people under mask of Islam, these art works can show the world people that real Islam is not like them. Real Islam is the religion of peace and friendship. The good actors, visual effects and 3D sound of movie are other strengths of the movie. Congratulates to Majid Majidi and other movie factors. I strictly recommend watching this movie. My recommendation is not only for all Muslims, but also for anyone who is looking for the right.
This is the first time i write a review in this website, i was so excited after seeing the movie that i really wanted to share my joy with you. I saw the movie yesterday in cinema of Iran, it was really great. The cinematic were incredible. The musics used on the film (by A.R.Rahman ) bring it to the next level! I was a fan of Hobbit and Lord before this movie, but i can tell you that this movie in almost all aspect is as good as them with a simple difference which is that the history behind it is totally true! that makes a really great feeling specially for Muslims. I cried in a lot of scenes of it and goosebumps in the miracles scenes. I repeat that the best positive point of the movie is the music which has been successfully joined with the film.Sorry for my bad English.
