      Los Angeles Times Director Richard Rich faces the daunting task of not being able to actually show Muhammad in accordance with Islamic law. He and screenwriter Brian Nissen are for the most part successful. Rated: 3/5 Nov 18, 2004 Full Review Dana Stevens New York Times Faithful to Islamic law's prohibition against representing its title character, this movie gives a prophet's-eye-view on the story. Rated: 3/5 Nov 16, 2004 Full Review Ed Halter Village Voice Though noble in its intent to portray Islam as a peace-loving faith, the narrative flow remains compromised by its catechistic asides and displaced hero. Nov 16, 2004 Full Review Maitland McDonagh TV Guide This simplistic animated feature falls firmly within the long tradition of bland, upbeat and earnest religious instructional films. Rated: 2/5 Nov 18, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews

      Overcast21 This movie is a amazing watch if u want to learn about the greatest man ever, Muhammad (saw) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/12/22 Full Review Audience Member Evil, sick, and diabolical. The largest cult founder in the world Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member 2nd best movie on life on muhmmad.. after muhmmad:messenger of god Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie got boring too quickly. First off, three major characters, most notably Muhammad, but also Hamza and Ali, aren't visually depicted; whenever they are spoken to, or are in a scene, the characters speaking to them face the camera. The camera even moves to indicate when they are shaking their heads, which really looks ridicules. They don't even speak but their words are spoken for them by a narrator. All of that might be valid for religious reasons but it makes it impossible to really enjoy this movie. Also each time Muhammad's name is mentioned, which obviously happens constantly, the narrator follows with "peace and blessing be upon him"; that is tolerable when you hear it one time, but after 20 times it becomes extremely annoying and makes it clear that this movie is made for deeply religious muslims only and isn't open to any other group. The story might be good but that's about it and unless you're a very religious person who already knows everything about Muhammad, you will unlikely care for this movie! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review marco g Well that movie is about the person who gave the world the most twisted and death loving "religion" possible, but surprinsingly, the movie is really good. It has the same charme as Moses - the prince of Egypt and other religious animated movies and because of the permanent conflicts the Muslims go through, you kind of wish, that they win, since you see the corrupt bastards they fight against. The problem with that film is, that it is very annoying with its constant Muhammad blessing and that you never actually see the prophet. It's also not good, that the movie only shows the Muslims as the victims and good-doers and totally let the crimes of them and especially Muhammads crimes (mass-murder of jews and heretics, pedophilia, killing a girl's family in front of their eyes and rape her on their corpses, etc.), but as what it is, it's a pretty strong movie which delivers the right messages. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Very good movie... True history of Islamic revolution presented in a very good manner... Obviously worth for the children...
