al Risalah – the Message full movie – excellent quality
This movie (Al risalah ) is about the life of Prophet Muhammad (SAV) and the birth of Islam.
In the 7th century, Muhammad, Peace Be Upon Him, is visited by Angel Gabriel who urges him to lead the people of Mecca and worship God. But they’re exiled in Medina before returning to Mecca to take up arms against their oppressors and liberate their city in the name of God (Allah).
Director: Moustapha Akkad
Genres: Adventure | Biography | Drama | History | War
In accordance with Islamic law, director Moustapha Akkad’s biopic of Mohammad (pbuh) never actually depicts the prophet himself, but rather outlines his story through the lives of certain cardinal figures in his life. Abu Sofyan , the leader of Mecca, Mohammad’s uncle, Hamza, and others chronicle the persecution of the earliest Muslims, their escape to Medina and their eventual victorious return to Mecca under the prophet’s leadership.
Handsomely-mounted historical epic concerns the birth of the Islamic faith and the story of the prophet Muhammad — who, in accordance with the tenants of Islam, is never to be depicted (as this is against certain Islamic schools of thought). In Mecca in the 7th century, Muhammad is visited by a vision of the Angel Gabriel, who urges him to lead the people of Mecca to cast aside the 300 idols of Kaaba and instead worship the one true God, speaking out against the corrupt political and military leaders who rule Mecca. With the help of his uncle, a brave warrior named Hamza (Anthony Quinn), Muhammad and his followers return to Mecca to liberate the city in the name of God.
The Message (originally screened in the U.S. as Muhammad, Messenger of God) proved to be highly controversial during its production and initial release. Unfounded rumors had it that Muhammad would not only be depicted in the film, but that he was to be played by Charlton Heston or Peter O’Toole. This resulted in protests by some Muslim, until director Moustapha Akkad hired a staff of respected Islamic clerics as technical advisors.
Two films (The message and Al-risalah)
The Message was shot in two versions, one in English and one in Arabic (entitled Al-Risalah), with different actors taking over some of the roles due to language requirements.
