“THE MESSAGE MOVIE SUMMARY” (EVERY TEN MINUTES)

1. First 10 minutes
 A group of men riding in a horse in the wide desert. Each one of them visited a kingdom to send them a
message from Prophet Muhammad for them to know about the religion Islam. They’ve visited the
patriarch of Alexandria and Kisra, emperor of Persia. This happened 600 years AD when Europe was
sunken in the Dark Ages and everyone in the old civilizations were falling. Muhammad was born in
Makkah. Makkah was then a rich trading city ruled by its merchants. They housed the god every year at
the time of the Great Fair. The desert’s priest brought their idols into the custody of the Ka’aba (once the
holy shrine of Prophet Ibrahim). The Ka’aba had now become a house of idolatry.

2. Second 10 minutes
 Abu Talib, the uncle of Muhammad was worried about his nephew when Zayed came and told Abu Talib
that Muhammad was in the cave for three days and haven’t gone home. This was the time when
Muhammad was in the cave and angel Jibreel showed up in front of him saying “read” but Muhammad
replied “i cannot read”. He was trembling in fear under the blanket when he got home. Zayed, his
adopted son was worried about Muhammad as well as his uncle Abu Talib who said that he would still
protect his nephew no matter what. Some Arabs were mad at Muhammad and doesn’t want to believed
him as the messenger of God. Muhammad said that whether you put the sun in my right hand and the
moon in my left hand, I would not renounce my message which is from God (Allah).”

3. Third 10 minutes
 Amah, a man who was starting to listened and believed Muhammad but his parents were not at first. He
explained about their God made of clays and which could not talk and about the unfair situations in their
city. His mother remembered her past when she was a baby and her two sisters that got buried, she
realized that no god could not do anything like that so she allowed her son to go to Muhammad’s house
as well as his father. Amah, one day talked to some leaders in Makkah and told them the words from God
but those people just laughed. Amah told them what Muhammad said that ‘all men are as equal as the
teeth of the comb’

4. Fourth 10 minutes
 Bilal was being punished by his master for disobeying his order to whip Amah. But then a man came and
told them that Abu Bakr would pay 200 to buy Bilal as to Lord Umayyah agreed. Some group of men
(believer of God(Allah) & Muhammad) were all happy to hear that God (Allah) told his messenger
(Muhammad) to declared Islam to all men. All muslims who believed in one god (Allah) unite together
including Bilal rally, shouting “there is no other god but Allah”. Many people who were against this
religion started to threw out rocks to them until Hamza, another uncle of Muhammad arrived and
protected his nephew from those people. Those people were afraid of Hamza so they all left and stopped.
The more they (people who were against the Islam) attacked Muhammad, the more people would
believed him so they planned to harm and punished some weak ones people who believed in Islam.
5. Fifth 10 minutes
 Muslim people were all scared as they were all being tortured included Amah and his mother just because
they believed in Islam. Hamza arrived at the place where some muslims died and badly injured. Because
of what happened, Muhammad told his men to leave Makkah as they could be killed one by one. They
decided to traveled to Abyssinian which Muhammad told them. Amara, a friend of Najasi (the king in
Abyssinian) planned to used their friendship to let the slaves bring back.

6. Sixth 10 minutes
 Muhammad's followers with Jafar arrived at the kingdom of Abyssinian. This was the time when Amar,
Najasi and Jafar had a conversation about Muhammad being the messenger of God (Allah) and his miracle
Qur’an. The king asked him about Christ (I’sa) so he told them the story of Christ mother Mary which was
written in the Qur’an. The King was amazed by his words and decided not to give them (slaves and Jafar)
to Amar. The king said that they could lived in Abyssinian with peace causing them to feel so happy when
they heard it. This made the leaders in Makkah furious that was why they forced people left their shelters
in Makkah, no woman to marry and no to merchants trading until Muhammad and his men would
renounced.

7. Seventh 10 minutes
 These were the worst year of Muhammad’s life. For 3 years, they suffered the hunger, thirst and cruelty
of the open desert but the year of grief was still to come when Khadijah, Mohammad’s wife for 24 years
died, when Abu Talib, his old protector died, with his last breath Abu Talib tried again to reconcile Makkah
and Muhammad. With the death of his uncle, Muhammad had now lost all protection, he was no longer
safe in Makkah. Along with Zayed (his adopted son) he went to the hillside town of Taif. He asked to be
taken in to be allowed to preach but the children of Taif were turned loose to stone him back into the
desert. Muhammad called this the bitterest day of his life. Then miraculously when Muhammad’s mission
seemed to have failed, his entire situation changed. A deputation from the rich but self-destroying city of
Medina met him by night at the rocks of Aqaba asking him to come with them to stand between their
factions, to mediate their continual quarrels and civil wars. Muhammad agreed, provided they gave him a
pledge that they worship the one god only. This was the journey that changed the world (the Hijra or
flight to Medina). Only 70 people split up into small group, walking 250 miles of desert. In this moment,
Islam found its future. Muhammad himself stayed in Makkah in the greatest danger until all his followers
had left safely. Meanwhile Salu, who claimed to be the king of Medina lost the kingdom. Abu Safyan and
two men planned on killing Muhammad by ordering seven men to stab him at night but the prophet
escaped.

8. Eight 10 minutes
 They tracked Muhammad, Abu Bakr and a companion till they stopped at the cave and checked it out. A
few threads of a spider’s web were all that was then between Muhammad and murder but he was a man
not to be killed, the Bedouin guide led him and his companion Abu Bakr in their escape through untracked
spaces of the desert and the heat of the days. At Medina, his followers waited with their welcome ready
but in great fear for his journey. When prophet Muhammad and his companions arrived, all people in
Medina welcomed him with a song “tala’al badro a’layna”. They discussed where should Muhammad
stayed and one men says that where the camel sits was where the prophet house should be build. Their
first meeting place and the first mosque of Islam so they all started to build it.
9. Ninth 10 minutes
 After the mosque was build, they thought of having a bell or horn to call the people out there until
someone suggested why not a human voice and the prophet agreed. They decided that Bilal would be the
one since he has a good voice. He was calling “God is great (4×). I declare there are no other gods but God
(2×). I witness that Muhammad is the messenger of God (2×). Come to prayer (2×). Come to good work
(2×). God is the most great (2×). There are no other gods but God (Allah) (2×)”. Amara and some leaders in
Makkah got mad by the prophet’s message and the Islam ways. This time, it will not just be riffraff, they
would take everything of value they (prophet’s followers) left in Makkah. Their rugs, their houses, their
silver and with it enlarged their caravan to Damascus. Hamza doesn’t like what happened so he liked to
fight and take back their property and get back to them.

for the death of their men loved ones especially Umayyah, she wailed and furious of the death of her
father and brother. He said that he would call an allies & raised new army and this time to plan it very well
to kill Muhammad and Hamza. A guy from Yemen visited Medina and told Hamza that in Makkah, they
were gathering every young men with the sword was on his way to Makkah and that they were
summoning up their courage.

13. Thirteenth 10 minutes

learned about the big army with 3,000 men, with hundreds of horses and that they came to revenged.

and thus they succeeded in killing Hamza.

14. Fourteenth 10 minutes

they were happy because they fought for God (Allah) and those dead were to go in paradise. They did the

no matter what.
15. Fifteenth 10 minutes

Makkah.

18. Last 10 minutes

 Soon, all Arabia was converted not only to the new worship but to the news laws, manners, attitudes
contained in Islam. The prophet had lived to see his work done but now he began to feel the nearness of
death. One great act of his prophet hood remained. The city of its seal, he called the people to him and he
spoke for the last time his message of surrender to Allah and humanity to man. On June 8 th 632 in his 63rd
year. Muhammad (SAW) died, many of his followers could not believed the fact how can such a man die,
but Abu Bakr, the prophet’s friend stood up in the mosque and said a word. They buried Prophet
Muhammad (SAW) beside his mosque in Medina but the religion he preached found its place in the heart
of man, it multiplied. Still to Makkah, they come, mankind, the people of Islam dressed in their pilgrim
white. All equal before Allah, all united in this place of prayer. Each individual soul joined in a community
of worship- one God (Allah).
