In the name of God, the most gracious, the most Merciful

From Muhammad, the Messenger of God

to Heraclius,

the emperor of Byzantium, greetings to him

who is the follower of righteous guys

I bid you to hear the divine call

I am the messenger of God to the people,

accept Islam for yourself

He speaks of the new prophet in Arabia

Was it like this when John, the Baptist

came to king Hsrul out of the desert crying of salvation

To Mephocus, Patriarch of Alexandria

Kisra, emperor of Persia

Muhammad calls you with the call of God

accept Islam for your salvation

Embrace Islam

You come out of the desert, smelling of camel and goat

You stand as Persia kneel?

Muhammad, Messenger of God

Who gave him this authority?

God sent Muhammad as

a message to mankind

The Scholars and Historians of Islam -

The University of Al-Azhar in Cairo,

The High Islamic Congress of the Shiat in Lebanon

Have approved the accuracy and fidelity of this film

The makers of this film honour the Islamic Tradition

which holds that the Impersonation of the Prophet

offends againts the spirituality of his message

Therefore, the person of Muhammad

will not be shown

600 years after Christ died,

when Europe was sunk in the dark ages

and everywhere

the old civilizations were falling,

Muhammad was born in Mecca in Arabia

Mecca was then a rich trading city

ruled by its merchants

whose wealth was multiplied by a

unique privilege They housed the gods

Every year, at the time of the great fair,

the desert priests brought their idols

and the images of their gods into the custody of Kabbaah

Months, the most holyish reign of Abraham,

the Kabbaah has now

become a house of idology hosting

no fewer than 360 different gods

Mecca in 610 AD

Bilal!

Have the other days counted Umaya?

Not yet But this year the Gods are gold

When you put the Gods and Prophet together,

its a pretty bit deal

Oh, more Gods in the place of Kabbaah

Caravans from Syria

mm They must be in running Very thirsty

Put 5 more men in North Wells

How many sheeps will I have to kill for them? 70?

Give them a 100

Macca should keep her name

for hospitality

And 10 lambs for the leaders

Bread and water, do the poets have in the Hakim's house

Where verse and prose are nightly

put to slaughter

And and the bread, I swear in there,

is thinner than the water

Oh, open the space Open the space,

you lovers of poetry

to Abu Sufian, willing and which

patron of the art

When Abu Sufian invites the poet in, there joy is

kids and love is kin

where wines and cakes abound

the skills of Abu Sufian

All revels and all songs begin

when Abu Sufian invites the poet in

Roman silk, worms of China, my lady,

a pleasure to the lin, and as my lady can see,

ravish to the eyes

Yes 7 lengths

20 dinars

Abu Sufian's wife? 15!

Oh, gold!

the gods of the Kabbaah have their needs

They are Acives

Who is that man who stood there,

who looked into my soul?

Cut me away from here

Why did Muhammad come down here?

Why don't you stop him?

He is your nephew

Maybe he will change!

Change?

He is 40 years old

Its unnatural, with a rich wife he could afford the best of Mecca

If he chooses to sit shivering in a cave,

it is unnatural

For a man who dares to risk the anger of

Lath-Uzza, who keeps our health,

Mannat, the god of our prosperity,

Allot, the god of our family and tribes

and Hubar,

Hubar, who starts our caravans

and predicts our fate

To challenge the gods within a year

sort of the gods is dangerous

Unreasonable

Rebellious, blasphemous

Yes, I'm afraid Muhammad will harm himself

I am always sad

when the great fair is over

I might not see the next one

Abu Talib! Abu Talib!

Catch your breath, Zaid!

Has Muhammad come down from the mountain yet?

He's been there for 3 days

No No, I haven't seen him

Khadija hoped he might have come to you

on his way home

Maybe he's still up there

3 days

I'm afraid for him on the mountain

because I don't know what it means

Men see the world too well from a mountain

Muhammad! Read!

In the name of the Lord who created

man from his sensitive drop of blood

teaches man what he knows not

Read!

He's still trembling under the blanket, but he has spoken

Zaid! What happened to my nephew on the mountain?

He was alone in the cave

Suddenly an angel came on to him,

The angel said:
Read!

Muhammad replied: I can not read

The angle commanded again: Read!

In the name of our Lord

who created man from his sensitive drop of blood

who teaches man what he knows not: Read!

Who knows if it was Gabriel!

It could have been a dream

When Muhammad was coming from the mountain

He saw Gabriel cleanly

in the shape of a man

standing on the horizon

Wherever he looked, upon every turn of his head

he saw him

Gabriel said to him again: I am Gabriel and

you Muhammad are the Messenger of God

Who has he told about this?

His Wife

and Ali

And his friend Abu Bakr

And you?

I am his adopted son

Be careful to whom you talk

Tell him his uncle who protected him

when he was a child will protect him still

After all, they say the God of Moses

spoke to him under the burning bush

If you do not restrain your nephew, then we will

He's dividing the city, heart against hopes

He's dividing the generations,

child against parent

The young are listening to him, he attract the yound

We are Arabs We obey our fathers

Our children cannot be our teachers
