Movie Reviews of Muhammad: The Last Prophet
Movie Review: Muhammad very present, though never seen
Summary: 5 Stars
My kids, who are 7 and 10, and I watched this video as part of our effort to learn a little about world history. This was a very nice introduction to the story of Muhammad and the beginnings of Islam. Told as an animated adventure film, it easily held our young audience captive throughout the 90 minutes. The film depicts Islam as a religion devoted to peace, equality among people, and helping others, and it also shows the conditions under which Muhammad sanctioned taking up arms and going to battle. The video relays the story of Muhammad and early Muslims taking refuge from the idolatrous Meccans in a tolerant, friendly Christian city. It accentuates commonalities between Islam and Christianity, and hints at the feasibility of coexistence between those two faiths. The film is creative, yet slightly awkward in working around the admonition not to depict Muhammad himself. But, just enough so to generate some conversation about that particular facet of Islamic practice - the effect is by no means disruptive to the story itself. I agree with other reviewers that the video is reasonable for non-Muslims who simply want to gain some awareness, as it conveys the original stories and essential spirit of the faith without overtly proselytizing. This is one of the kids' favorites on my recommended list of videos covering world history for younger audiences (see "learning history" on winstonsieck dot com for the full list).
