Introduction The historical film The Message is dedicated to the era of the formation of Islam and tells about the events that took place in the period from 610 to 632. The film was released in 1976. Anthony Quinn played the main role in it. The scriptwriters and the director faced a truly difficult task – to fit into a picture of a little more than 3 hours of events that took place over 23 years. The film raises important issues in the religion of Islam, is engaged in educational activities that help people treat Muslims with an open mind. It describes the history of the origin of Islam, Mohammed’s life, Islam’s influence on other world religions and raises questions about women’s rights in Islam. The Film Description The film is unusual because it describes the last prophet of God, Muhammad, without showing the messenger himself. The message with which he came to people and the Torah/Bible forbids the depiction of living beings, worship, and deification of them. The film tells about the message to all people that God is one, that He is one and there is no one else worthy of worship except Him and that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger. An illiterate Arab, for more than twenty years, received revelations from God (the Koran), memorizing them by heart and teaching his companions in the future. His life has become a role model for hundreds and hundreds of millions of Muslims (Akkad). The Quran, which was collected only after his death, was memorized and taught by heart by millions of people in different parts of the world, and in every mosque, there is at least one person who knows it perfectly.

In due time, K. Marx and F. Engels, describing early Christianity, wrote that it was essentially a revolutionary democratic movement of the broad masses of the people (Garegnani 620). The same characteristic may well be applied to the early Islamic movement. The social basis on which the Prophet Muhammad relied was the poor, freedmen, slaves, etc. In other words, various representatives of the social bottom of Arab society. Even such a few wealthy people as Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, after hearing the sermons of the Prophet Muhammad, began to spend their money to help those in need and to free slaves. Consequently, the first similarity between the society of the 600th century and modern civilization is that assistance to the poor is always encouraged. In all religions and regardless of religion, people are engaged in charity because they know that good deeds and intentions are always encouraged. Relation to the Unknown The historical question raised in the film relates to how society accepts the new. Throughout the history of humanity, there have been many revolutions, enemy seizures of territories. The film shows how paganism is overthrown, pagan monuments are destroyed, and the idea of Islam is spread. The introduction of any big changes always entails revolution and skirmishes, regardless of the century. Somewhere by dedication, somewhere and sometimes by martial art, these people won the respect of new and new adherents, and quite successfully, considering that Islam is now one of th
