Islamic Culture
‘Animated’ depiction of Prophet’s life

Arab News

The film is set in 610 A.D, in Makkah where the Prophet (pbuh) was born into the Quraish tribe, which controlled and ruled the city. The Prophet (pbuh) is not personified; light is used to depict him instead — a feature perhaps borrowed from Mustafa Akkad’s 1977 film “The Message.” The story shows how his uncle Abu Talib, who — even though dying as a non-Muslim — remained one of Islam’s greatest supporters and cared for the Prophet (pbuh), being an orphan.

The film’s narration starts before the divine revelation and depicts the turning point of Islam when the Angel Gabriel appeared to the Prophet (pbuh) asking him to “read,” which was the first word in the Holy Qur’an. He then entrusted him the task of spreading the word of God and honoring the one God.
