    • Trivia
      Although broadly sharing the same film unit (director, editor, etc.), Two different versions of the film (one in English and the other in Arabic), were shot simultaneously, scene by scene. Two completely different sets of actors shared the same set; once a scene had been established, one actor would play a character in one language, and then the whole scene reshot with his corresponding number speaking in the other language. The lone exception in the cast being Andre Morell who is credited as Abu-Talib in both versions. The main (English) version was released as "The Message", while the Arabic version became "Al-Risalah".
    • Quotes

      Narrator: If this Coran were revealed to a mount, it would collapse even off feared Allah, the Great, said the truth. The Prophet, elected official by Allah to carry what the mountains can not, is too great and inaccessible to be represented by a human. For that we will not see nor his image neither his voice nor his shade, throughout this film.

    This is true Islam
    The film directed and produced the best director in the history of Arab cinema, where he gave us a wonderful masterpiece, which is not understood by the world about the Arabs and Muslims for this I recommend watching even non-Muslims, It is indeed the best film in the history of Arab cinema.
