Synopsis

After a revelation from God, Mohammad agrees to take arms against Mecca and battle until more and more people are converted to the emerging religion and ready to accept the prophet.

Then, the idols of Kabba are destroyed and the holy place is dedicated to the worship of one God. Mohammad is the Prophet...the Messenger of God.



In accordance with Islamic law, director Moustapha Akkad's biopic of Mohammad never actually depicts the prophet himself, but rather outlines his story through the lives of certain cardinal figures in his life.

Abu Sofyan (Michael Ansara), the leader of Mecca, Mohammad's uncle, Hamza (Anthony Quinn), and others chronicle the persecution of the earliest Muslims, their escape to Medina and their eventual victorious return to Mecca under the prophet's leadership.
