Times (UK)

In its preaching, though, Eli King's film adopts a plodding conventional manner — a Muslim equivalent of the style used by most biblical movies, with all the dialogue in English.

Rated: 2/5

Guardian

For a film that aims to promote religious diversity and freedom of thought, its metronomic alternation between time frames, narrative slavishness and laughable coda have a suffocating sense of orthodoxy.

A shoddy script and an overwhelming reliance on clichés... make this would-be blockbuster feel incredibly cheap.

MUST WATCH IF YOU ARE A MUSLIM and if you want to know the truth of Islam. It's a sad but beautiful film and will only strengthen your faith if you are true. Watch with an open mind and thoroughly research anything you're unsure about instead of just dismissing, rejecting or being biased. "The acquisition of knowledge is compulsory for every Muslim". - Prophet Muhammad ﷺ The only downside to this film is that they show faces of important religious figures. This is not something that is accepted in any fold of Islam, whether Shia or Sunni.
