Rating: - Should Watch
The documentary goes through the life of the prophet Muhammad. It begins with Muhammad's birth in 570 A.D. You learn all about the prophet's childhood and him being raised as an orphan. The documentary does a great job explaining the tribes in Arabia and the state of the region during this time in history. You learn about Muhammad's early life and how he meets his wife Khadijah. You learn so much about Muhammad's revelations and early ministry. The documentary tells of the hardships and persecution the early followers endured. There is also a great deal of information on the battles between Medina and Mecca. The documentary continues to go through Muhammad's life and ends with his death.
I think everyone should watch this documentary. It not only goes through the life of the prophet Muhammad but also shows the lives of current day Muslims living in America. You see the lives of a firefighter and doctor. They explain to us what Islam and the prophet Muhammad means to them. So many Americans have the wrong perception of this religion. The documentary explains how most got this opinion during the Gulf War and 9/11. This is not a religion of violence. You can see from these individuals' lives and the life of Muhammad how peacefully Islam really is. They care so much about helping others. The prophet Muhammad believed everyone should help those in need and we all should treat others with love and respect. The prophet Muhammad had so much humility throughout his life. He never thought he ... Read More
Rating: - a little over correction evident
Considering our current imbroglio in the Middle East and most people's astonishing ignorance of Islam, a corrective, educational lens is more important than ever.
Into the void of documentary material steps this excellently made and well researched documentary on the life-and meaning-of the Prophet Muhammad. This documentary covers all of the key points of the Prophet's life: Muhammad's first revelations on Jabal an-Nur, his marrying of Khadija, protection from his Uncle Abu Talib, Khadija's and Abu Talib's deaths in 619, the Hijra in 622, Muhammad's wars with Mecca, the founding of a fledgling theocratic state in Medina (Yathrib), Muhammad's death in 631, questions of succession, and the meaning of Muhammad's life and the Qu'ran to modern Muslims.
In this, the documentary is mostly accurate and up to date with modern scholarhsip. This alone makes the documentary a valuable and worthwhile piece of pedagogy. What is more, the documentary features beautiful cinematography, fluid narration, and touching moments.
However, its revisionist, poliically correct nature, is somewhat meretricious. I realize these are perilous times for Muslims, and that public understanding and empathy for this great faith is at its nadir, but it does not help to whitewash history. Presenting a one-sided, holier than though version of Muhammad and Islam is not what we need. As with all religions, Islam has its core problems and flaws. I wish the film would have dealt with these honestly and openly. ... Read More
Rating:  - A informative but bland documentary on the Muhammad
This documentary produced for PBS, on one hand it is very informative, illustrating the life of Muhammad as well as a look at Muslim culture in America. This post 9/11 documentary, provides a sensative look at faith that has over a billion followers all over the world, with at least 7 million people in America. For a non muslim, it is interesting for me to see just how much the story of Muhammad and the begins of Islam correlate with the beginnings of Christianity and the lives of other figures such as Moses and Jesus.
The only complaint I have about this documentary, is that it is a little bland and slow. I felt like, considering Muhammad's very interesting life, it could have been more exciting.
