” I thought I should tell the story that will bring this to the West,” the director told the Washington Post in 2005. Bringing together the biggest names in cinema like Anthony Quinn and Irene Papas for its English version, Abdallah Ghaith and Mouna Wassef for its Arabic version and a soundtrack written by Maurice Jarre, the film met with an exceptional success, that led him to an Oscar nomination in 1977. The film, which was made in 1976 simultaneously in Arabic and English, tells the life of the Prophet Muhammad. “The story that will bring this history to the West” “ We want to give the film a new lease of life in order to restore the fame it had acquired in the past and that we hope to perpetuate with new generations,” says Malek. Malek Akkad converted his father’s first film into digital format, the one that launched his career, to make it more contemporary.
#The message 1976 film movie
On the contrary non-Muslims should not see it, as the movie shows the companions in a way contrary to the reality they used to be upon in regard to piety, devotion and sincerity of their faith, and falsely shows them, in some instances, mixing with women, having their beards shaved, and so on.On the occasion of Eid al-Fitr, The Message is released on the big screens of eleven countries in the Middle East in an exceptional 4K quality version. Our view is that it is not worth seeing, neither by Muslims or non-Muslims. The questioner states that this movie is worth seeing by non-Muslims.
So who could accept this characterization of Hamza by those who know the high moral standards of the companions. In addition to this, some of the actors in this movie could be seen in other movies as dissolute people, courting women like the actor featured in the role of Hamza. It is as if the companions indulged in these contemptible acts. Actually, it contains other prohibitions like featuring the companions as having shaved their beards, the mixing of men and women, and featuring women who are not properly covered. Therefore, the sister asking the question should know the ruling about the movie entitled " The Message". So in order to preserve the essential benefit and refute the claim of the movie's accuracy, and protect the dignity of the Prophet this movie has to be prohibited (end of the report). Featuring the companions regardless of the estimated benefit, still contains a dominant evil. A person who knows the reality of movie stars and their motives, would know that such lofty objectives are rejected by the reality of movie stars and actors themselves, and that these standards are not regarded in their daily life and dealings.Ĥ) One of the principles of Islaamic jurisprudence is that if something is a pure evil (or evil is dominant in it) then it becomes forbidden. Also arguments and disputes about the companions of the Prophet could emerge.ģ) The benefits that are intended, like good moral conduct, etiquettes while seeking the truth, and being accurate about the biography without any violation, is just an estimation. As a result, it could result in doubt in the hearts of some Muslims. Thus the trust and confidence for the companions of the Prophet and their prestige and standing in the hearts of the Muslim viewers decrease. No matter how careful one may be to represent the truth, these movies contain lies and backbiting, and depict the companions and show them in the hearts of the people as dispraised and inferior. The objective of movie producers is to gain material benefit. Revising their lives in the form of a scenario or movies is contradictory to the praise that Allaah reserved for them, and is degrading to the high status that Allaah assigned and preserved for them.Ģ) Usually the actor in the role of any companion is a person who lacks righteousness, piety, and Islaamic moral standards in his daily life. THE MESSAGE (1976) The epic story, directed by Moustapha Akkad, about the birth if Islam starred ANTHONY QUINN, IRENE PAPAS and MICHAEL ANSARA The music was Nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Film Score. The following is a summary of the decision:ġ) Allaah has praised the companions and illustrated their high status and elevated their standard. The Fatwa of the Permanent Committee is number 4923 dated A.H, and the decision of the Supreme Committee of Scholars is number 13. The Permanent Committee for Scientific Research and Islaamic rulings in Saudi Arabia as well as the Supreme Committee of Scholars have previously published a Fatwa regarding this movie, and it is not permissible to depict the companions. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds.
