Summary: Excellent source of information for all truth-seekers
Review: Peace be unto all (That was Jesus,peace and blessing of God be upon him, said when he met his disciples according to Bible.That's exactly what today all Muslims are saying to each other .. Assalam-O-Alaikum Wa Rahmat-ul-Allah)Its a must seen video for Muslims and non-Muslims alike. As its an excellent source of information for those who are sincerely looking for a true religion; the ONLY acceptable way of life for Almighty God in the hereafter. If anyone who would like to find out more about the only religion of truth, the only way of facing your Lord sucecessfully in the hereafter, I highly recommend this video to watch with open-minded. With no prior discremination, dis-information or any information from unauthentic source. And for Muslims, it helps to increase our Iman (faith), to realize our forgotton duty to remind ourselves and to the whole humanity. As, according to Quran (the LAST TESTAMENT), we are the best nation who enjoy rights and forbids from evil. It is the true Message we should deliver to the humanity. Because most of people still don't know about the last prophet Mohammad (May peace and blessing of God be upon him) and his message. It's our duty as a whole Ummah(nation) as there are no more prophets will come to follow. May God, Almighty, guides us to the right path. Ameen

Summary: An Eye Opener
Review: Having recently embraced Islam, I am happy to say this movie was my eye opener and a turning point for any doubts or confusions I had before I took my final step toward Islam. Once I watched it, I knew I was doing the right thing. It is brilliantly made, especially considering how old the movie actually is, and every time I watch it the tears flow more. I am glad the movie is back in circulation and know that it will help anybody who wants to learn more about Islam. I pray more people will take steps toward studying Islam and erasing any misconceptions they have. This movie will certainly help. It is accurate and reliable history and I recommend it as a teaching reference for anybody who wants to present Islam as well. It's even better when you watch it the second time round. I only wish they'd make it in more languages.

Summary: The Greatest Movie on Islam & Prophet Muhammad made to date!
Review: Asslaamu Alaikum! This is Arabic for what Muslims believe are 'elemental,eternal & Universal' greetings of Peace & Blessings to all Mankind...that's includes anyone including YOU on the Net Muslim or non-Muslim alike! The MESSAGE...is One and Only (to date) BEST Classic Religious epic ever made!!It beautifully captures the 're-birth' of Islam in 7th Century Arabia and the character of the Blessed & Last Prophet of God,'Muhammad' (arabic meaning 'The Praised One'. And here is the main reason of its Uniqueness from All Other Films ever Made!! It brilliantly portrays the HERO of this Historical Film without even showing a glimpse of the Hero...ie Prophet Muhammad...Why? & How? You Ask??...WATCH IT & See for Yourself!..Why the underlying Message of this Film is as beautiful & controversial as it was over 1,400 years as it is is today approaching the second Millenium!! Love, Peace & Brotherhood! Brother Nadim...(14/12/98) (1419 AH Islamic Calendar)

Summary: Great movie
Review: A wonderful and Islamicly respectful depiction of the life of the prophet. For those wondering why the prophet and his strongest companions were not shown it is because the director took the advice of the scholars. it is almost rude to the islamic faith to try and attach a face to such people as the prophet PBUH or Abu Bakr or Omar. These are the greatest men of the religion and portraying them the director (rightfully so) thought that it would cheapen the effect.

Summary: Excellent Movie
Review: I don't want to say too much about this great film because I don't want to get any hate mail by people that claim to know the answers to everything. It's a great film about a great people, a great prophet and the great revelation (Holy Koran) he was given when he humbled himself and turned to God for answers. Beautiful and unforgettable film that I watched after reading the entire Holy Koran. A must see for lovers of mankind and their diverse cultures and faiths.

Summary: A Milestone in the First Steps in Islamic Cinema
Review: Being an American convert to Islam, I was delighted that this movie had been made. When I first saw it, I was moved to tears.
Granted, some elements of the production may seem dated now. But the overall effect, and heroic and herculean effort of producing such a movie to begin with, overshadow this small flaw. It is a classic in what will be a growing genre of Islamic cinema.
It also has the needed effect of demonstrating the true essense and humble beginnings of the religion of Islam: something that is desperatly needed in today's world.
I do volunteer work as an Imam (Islamic "minister") in the prisons in New York City. It is a tradition in some facilities to show this movie during Ramadan.
I read the reviews the preceeded mine. A complaint that came up is that Muhammad himself was never shown. One must understand that this is part of the essense of Islam in that it rejects idolarty in all its forms. To show the person of Muhammad would threaten the spirituality of the Message he was sent to give us. The director solved this problem in a very ingenous manner.
Perhaps in the future, some ambitious director will attempt a remake of this film. I eagerly anticipate seeeing it; as well as other dramatic (or comedic!) films made from the Muslim perspective.
I recommend this to everyone.

Summary: U can't summerize the important events of 23 yrs to 2hrs
Review: It does not show the human part of the prophet and it does not show Why is Islam the fastest growing religion in the world. It shows the prophet as a warrior not as a man of faith and wisdom. I think Al-Akkad is a great director and he should redo this movie.
