The Message
Directed by Moustapha Akkad
Produced by Filmco International Productions
An epic spiritual drama depicting Muhammad's prophetic calling and the persecution of early Muslims, grounded in faith conviction and existential struggle.
In sixth-century Mecca, Prophet Muhammad receives his first revelation from God as a messenger. Three years later, he's not alone in his quest and publicly declares his prophecy. Muhammad is fought by Abu Sufian and his wife Hind, rulers of Mecca. Muhammad's followers are hunted and tortured but he continues his calling.
