The Message - The Story of Islam


Starring by Anthony  Quinn

This is the best Islamic Movie I have ever seen. This movie depicts how the struggle of Rasulullah SAW and his companions to spread Islam as the religion from Allah. It is started from the the beginning of life of Mohammed SAW, his da'wah calling people to Islam till Islam spreads widely like nowadays. The main story also make us to think how the characteristic of Rasulullah SAW and his companions that lead them get the victory of Islam as what Allah promised. The story is so touchy and remind us as muslims to keep holding on tightly Islam by following the guidance of Allah SWT. 

"It is the 7th century in Makkah, where powerful leaders are in conflict with the Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) who attacks their way of life and the injustice it produces. After seeing a vision of the Angel Gabriel, the Messenger calls the people of Mecca to cast aside the 300 idols of the Kaaba and worship only one God. Despite bitter opposition from the leaders of Mecca, the Prophet and his faithful followers meet secretly to listen to the revelations of the word of God. The leaders respond with persecution, forcing the Muslims to leave Makkah and take sanctuary in Medina.
After a revelation from God, the Prophet agrees to take arms against Makkah and battle until justice reigns. The idols of Kaaba are destroyed and the holy place is dedicated to the worship of one God."

This is the stunning epic of Islam produced and directed by Moustapha Akkad. Includes the one hour documentary The Making of an Epic, plus the English trailers. This classic has inspired thousands of Muslims throughout the world, and should be a part of every home video library. Makes a great gift!


The Message movie, or "Mohammed: Messenger of God" as its sometimes is called, is at once a magnificent epic motion picture, and at the same time, a very good introduction to the Islamic faith, both from its historical roots, and various elements of the faith itself (worship-wise). The Prophet is never depicted in the movie (his presence is indicated by the characters looking into the camera), along with the 4 khalifas and most of the known sahaba are also not depicted. Hamza (a.s.) and certain other sahaba are depicted.

Really need to watch this movie!!! 
Though I ever read the story of life of Mohammed SAW before I watch this movie, watching this movie gives clearer view how the life of Rasulullah SAW and his companions. So great!!! That's the life that rarely to be found to day and it should make muslims who live until this day or the days coming to learn again from the life of Mohammed as the last prophet who give the true guidance from Allah SWT to all mankind, that is Al Qur'an and As Sunnah. By following these guidances, insya'Allah muslims will live in the blessed life and get the real success in this world and in the hereafter.

How to make the subtitle appear in the movie?
after downloading the movie and the subtitle, click right the file of subtitle (usually in zip format) then choose "extract file" (in specific folder of without confirmation). That command will give new file named by "... srt". Put the subtitles that have been extracted in the same folder with the movie files and give the same name too like the name of the movie files, but let the subtitles in the file name ended by .srt
for example: 
CD 1 
the name of movie file: The Message Part 1
then, the name of subtitle file: The Message Part 1.srt
The same way for the CD 2 
It's easy, isn't it? :)
