Hi, rafikseedat!

Why are you asking the question, please? It would be helpful to know that.

Thanks!

Because the film is based on the prophet muhammad pbuh

rafikseedat, the movie "The Messenger" is not about the prophet. It about U.S. military soldiers whose jobs are to inform the families of soldiers their loved one was killed in combat.

I know during film history there have been a few movies based upon the life of the prophet, and producers have been in discussions regarding whether to make another movie or not. If I am not mistaken, I believe you are thinking of the movie whose original title was "The Message" but is known by other titles. It was made in 1976. Mohammad: Messenger of God (1976) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074896/)

Any movie based upon the life of the prophet is acceptable for you to watch as long as the prophet is never actually shown. You know that is where the line is drawn. The movie "The Message" was very controversial in it's time. The prophet was never actually shown. The story was told through his Uncle, played by Anthony Quinn. The technical problem that arose was the decision by the producers to show the prophet's eye. So, it is hard for us to say whether it would be acceptable for you to watch this movie or not.

In my opinion, I do think it would be wise for you to have a discussion about this with someone you respect within your religious community rather than completely rely on the word of strangers over the internet.
