I have The Message at home. I was hardly impressed at all by it. Making a movie like that without showing the Prophet Muhammed, peace and blessings on him, or even letting him speak, just doesn't work at showing the early history of the Ummah. It makes Muhammed come off as a passive character who hardly does much else than prophesize while others around him disseminate his message and take all the initiative. Which is as wrong as it could be. Muhammed was not some passive conduit for prophecies, but an active leader and religious teacher of the Ummah, a man of limitless charisma whom people followed naturally, and who was even capable of winning over enemies.
