islam themed movies and documentaries

Handsomely-mounted historical epic concerns the birth of the Islamic faith and the story of the prophet Mohammed -- 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, Mohammed 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), Mohammed and his followers return to Mecca to liberate the city in the name of God. The Message (originally screened in the U.S. as Mohammed, Messenger of God) proved to be highly controversial during its production and initial release. Unfounded rumors had it that Mohammed 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. The Message was shot in two versions, one in English and one in Arabic (entitled Al-Ris-Alah), with different actors taking over some of the roles due to language requirements.

Inside the Saudi Kingdom (BBC Documentary)

 

 

 

This documentary isn't about Islam, but nonetheless an interesting documentary on Saudi Arabia which is after all the cradle of Islam and the country with the most significant historic Muslim sites including the two holiest sites of Mecca and Medina.

Al Jazeera Documentary on the Muslim Brotherhood

 

 

 

For years the Muslim Brotherhood was officially banned by Egypt's government, but following the 2011 revolution, the fall of Hosni Mubarak and the country's first free parliamentary elections, the Brotherhood - with its political arm, the Freedom and Justice Party - has emerged as Egypt's most powerful political force. This documentary puts the recent military coupe against the Muslim Brotherhood in historic perspective.

Carafaat , wonderful movie that brings a lot of memories. The sad and ironic thing is that the film-director Mustafa Akkad who made a great service to Islam was murdered by extremists in a bombing in Amman.

 

Ilaahay ha u naxariisto Mustafa Akkad.
