This Movie is in fact the very beautiful interpretation of our religion, Islam. Even though I am Muslim, but there were certain things presented in this movie which were completely novice to me. For instance, the fight of the Mongols, the arrival of Salahuddin, and the appearance of Arabian people in that era. This excellent presentation of Islamic culture and religion reveals many important ideas and new concepts to different viewers. The movie elucidates the relationship of our Prophet, Muhammad (P.B.U.H) to the God and how he spread the word of Allah to the people of Arab. God sent Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) as a guide for the Muslims, and to let the people see the right path through his messenger. The Islam begun to spread rapidly around the world after the death of Prophet; Muslims made remarkable success in the field of Art, Architecture, Engineering, Mathematics, Science, Literature, Astronomy, Poetry, and many other fields. The movie actually shows the viewer the entire journey of Hijrah and the fight there in Mecca and Medina. It truly reveals the hardships and difficulties prophet had to go through in order to spread the word of God and guide the Muslims to the right path of Islam. Part 2 of the movie is actually the most imperative of the entire Video which throws the light on the cultural development, inventions, and innovations developed by Muslims at that time. It is amazing that Muslims scientists were so smart to figure out the advanced technological methods and inventions which were later expanded by Europeans. It also shows the viewer the hardships suffered by million of Muslims during the War of Crusades. In conclusion, this movie is a splendid overview of the religion, Islam.
The interview was very interesting and it was so because it had been presented from the perspective of a Muslim. Mr. Nasr explained all the facts very beautifully about the Islamic faith and helped to eliminate the wrong conceptions many people have about this religion. This religion is indeed about the Peace. On the other hand, I personally think that the extremists are the mentally retarded people who can kill others and themselves and think that they can go to Heaven. Mr. Nasr helped others to change their perspectives about this religion and see it from a very different point of view.
