RIYADH — Saudi Arabia’s Grand Mufti has described the Iranian film Muhammad Messenger of God as un-Islamic, and said that its production is not permitted under Shariah. “This is a Magian film and a hostile work against Islam,” Sheikh Abdulaziz Al-Asheikh, who is also head of the Senior Scholars Commission and the Ifta Council, told Al-Hayat newspaper on Wednesday. Al-Asheikh warned against showing or circulating the film, saying that it mocks and belittles the Prophet (peace be upon him). He said the Prophet (pbuh) has special physical and moral features that should never be portrayed in film. “The film makers are not reflecting the reality,” he said. “This is a lewd work which has no religion. It is a downright defamation of Islam.” Al-Asheikh said those who are keen to glorify the Prophet should focus on spreading his Sunna, not showing his images. “The film producers are not trustworthy,” he said. “Lying is the crux of their lives. They are not honest in all their matters.” About 140 movie houses in Iran began showing the film last week. The film’s producers say that it features the life of the Prophet. They said it was the most expensive film in Iran’s movie history, costing about $40 million to produce. The film’s director, Majid Majidi, said the aim of the 171-minute-long film is to reinforce Islamic unity. The Azhar ofEgypt has also denounced the film and asked for its immediate withdrawal from cinemas. Secretary General of the Muslim World League (MWL) Abdullah Al-Turki denounced the production of the film and called for its immediate withdrawal from all movie theaters. “The personification of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in movies or TV series is totally against Islam,” he said in a statement on Wednesday. The secretary general said that showing the Prophet in person in any art work will undermine his esteem. Al-Turki asked the Iranian authorities to stop showing the film immediately. The film was recently shown at Montreal movie festival. Source: www.saudigazette.com.sa/mobile/index.cfm?method=sphome.spcon&contentid=20150903255462 2 Likes |

"I am sure people in Al-Azhar and others who criticize the film haven't seen it yet. They are against the film only because its a cultural export of Iran." "You cannot study Muhammad's life and not fall in love with him and his character. If this film makes people of the world know our Prophet better and see how kind he was, we have done our job" {Sami Yusuf} Really its a crazy world indeed! There is absolutely nothing Muslims agree upon. We disagree on everything under the disguise of religion. If the likes of Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim et al can dare document despicable ahadith that prophet slept with Aisha at the age of 9, that he used to have $ex with 11 of his wives within 1hr, that he had once ordered the massacre of a community etc etc and scholars deem these ahadith "authentic", thereby the western world picture the greatest prophet through these information, why would a film that portray Muhammad in the best manner under attack? Is attacking and killing those who insult our Prophet (with justification from our so-called Sahih hadith) the solution or this kind of modern dissemination of information (film)? Muslim world is indeed a sick world. Its high time we wake up from the hatred of each other. 4 Likes 4 Shares |

@Albaqir return to scholars as they're the heir of the Prophets, they'll explain the ambiguous and unambiguous affairs of the religion. Sami Yusuf and his ilk are not an authority in Islam. We don't use our intellect alone to decide what's right or wrong. We use the kitab and authentic Sunnah as understood and applied by our pious predecessors. As-salaamu alaykum brothers 4 Likes |

Truthpallbearer: Even in the holy Quran, ash-Shaytan was quoted. There are equally several Sahih ahadith in which this cursed being was quoted. The reason behind these is to learn not because the person is worth following. Sami Yusuf is a muslim...a singer, a poet. Hasan ibn Thabit, a prominent sahaba was a 'singer', a poet who composed several ode for the prophet and the believers. I am not talking of Islamic perspective on music here nor am I praising Sami Yusuf or comparing him with a Sahaba. I am simply interested in his sensible word not the silly criticism that further split the Ummah, of the so-called your "white-beared" scholar. Speaking at the premiere of ‘Muhammad: Messenger of God’, Majid Majidi says further films would help improve understanding of Islam around the world. WA alaykum Salam. |

 how can a blind man who has not and cannot view a film be qualified to pass fatwa and declare it un-Islamic? it is either the judgment is not his own or he is deceiving his followers, or he has a motive for his fatwa to prevent his fans from viewing the film out of jealousy and hatred. Holy Quran 22:46 "So have they not traveled through the earth and have hearts by which to reason and ears by which to hear? For indeed, it is not eyes that are blinded, but blinded are the hearts which are within the breasts". Holy Quran 17:72 "And whoever is blind in this [life] will be blind in the Hereafter and more astray in way". |

Truthpallbearer: Peace brother, are you and the Sheikh insinuating that Muhammad is not a man like us but much superior and incomparable? Otherwise why can't Muhammad be portrayed in drama or graphically depicted in pictures or videos? Please read the following verses attentively, there is a very fine line between respecting the messenger and associating him as partner with God. Quran 18:110 Say, "I am only a man like you, to whom has been revealed that your god is one God. So whoever would hope for the meeting with his Lord - let him do righteous work and not associate in the worship of his Lord anyone." Quran 41:6 Say, "I am only a man like you to whom it has been revealed that your god is but one God; so take a straight course to Him and seek His forgiveness." And woe to those who associate others with God I 'm no intellectual slave to religious scholars or clerics. Truth is the only thing, the only thing I ever sought on Islam. I may hold heterodox or controversial views, but at least I always stood for textual, logical and decipherable proof regardless of the doctrine or dogma in question. |

usermane:The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, "Binding upon you is my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the rightly guided successors, bite on to that with your molar teeth. In another narration, He mentioned the splitting of the Ummah and those that will be saved are those that are upon that which him and his companions are upon today. Quran 9:100 and other related verses indicated those that are to be taken as a model and guide, the shias reviled the companions and make takfeer of them, these statements are in their books and other than that. The shias and khawarij are two sides of a coin- offspring of Abdullahi ibn Saba al-Yahoodi al-salool. A lot of people have been drowned by their intellect as intellect alone is not sufficient to decipher the truth. I have tried my best and Allaah is my witness against all of you. The shias are not Muslims as their creed is built on imamate and they consider their Imams to be infallible , seeking aid from the grave, seeking protection from their awliyas and other forms of shirk. Do not be deceived by their outward display of pity and love. 4 Likes |

Sometimes it is better to quietly ban the film than making so much noise and creating more publicity for such a film. Most muslim would not know in places like Iran depiction of the prophet pbuh which falls short of the sunnah is widespread and accepted, I have read they depict the pictures of the prophet on post cars, mural, it is a generally accepted behavior in Iran. So next time it is better to quietly outlaw such un-islamic behavior than create more publicity for it. 1 Like |

Truthpallbearer: Am no Shiite and my post had no reference to Shiism. What I observe here is the evident degree to which Muhammad has been idolized and venerated as God 's partner in the traditional Muslim ideology. These Muslims have no problem with images, videos and dramas with Moses, Jesus, Angels and other messengers of God but when it pertain to Muhammad, they go bonkers and intolerant. You cannot present one verse in the Quran that justify this, one verse in the Qur'an that consecrate and elevate Muhammad beyond other messengers or angels. 1 Like |

vedaxcool: Have you watched the film? Obviously no. You are spreading hearsay or rather rumor. The Prophet (sa) was not depicted. In some parts, his back was "shown"; no facial expression or depiction or role play. Going by the sectarian and political divide in the middle east, it is not surprising that the Wahhabi mufti of al-Saud would be of this view. It is political in other words, and this was affirmed by a Sunni Saudi writer. It is just not good for Shia Iran to be praised for contributing something good to Islam in the sight of Wahhabis. They must find something wrong. The essence of the film is to portray the image of Islam and the holy Prophet that Wahhabism has tarnished in good light and bringing out the reality of the holy Prophet (as) as mercy unto mankind. Let us even go a bit further. On what basis is it haram to depict prophets in Islam? Just because your scholars are of that opinion? What is the basis in the Qur'an and the sunnah? I believe none.I stand to be corrected. |

While you guys love derailing from topics, it is of no crime to respond academically to some of your pseudo information. Truthpallbearer: Ma sha Allah. Unfortunately you either ignorantly or purposely left verse 101 of the same Quran chapter 9 where Allah exposed bunch of Munafiq (hypocrites) among the Sahaba who used to surround the Prophet. Worst still the hypocrisy of many of them is at the peak that even the Prophet knew them not at the time of the revelation of the ayah. Can you emulate those sort of Sahaba? Truthpallbearer: Failure! It was the Prophet himself that first made Takfeer of some of them. Imam Bukhari in his Sahih documented this hadith of Ibn Abbas: 'The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: "You will be resurrected bare-footed, naked and uncircumcised." Then he recited:{As We began the first creation, We shall repeat it: a promise We have undertaken. Truly, We shall do it} [21:104]. He continued: "The first to be dressed will be Ibrahim. Then, some of my SAHABAH will be taken towards the Right side AND TOWARDS THE LEFT SIDE. So, I will say: 'My Sahabah! It will be said, 'THEY HAD BEEN APOSTATES SINCE YOU LEFT THEM.' I will then say as the Righteous servant, 'Isa b. Maryam, said: {And I was a witness over them whilst I lived amongst them. But, when You caused me to die, You were the Watcher over them, and You are a Witness to all things. If You punish them, they are Your slaves, and if You forgive them, You, only You, are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise} [5:117-118]' ~Sahih al-Bukhari vol. 3 p. 1271, #3263 This hadith ends with the following: 'Muhammad b. Yusuf narrated from Abu 'Abd Allah that Qubaysah said: "They were those who apostatized during the time of Abu Bakar. So Abu Bakar, may Allah be pleased with him, fought them." Really that was personal claim of Qubaysah. The holy prophet's wording are too explicit in the categories his sahabas will be divided. And those whom Abu Bakar fought were not even inhabitant of Medina who used to keep the holy prophet's company. The specifications of the deviators were so glaring that: Anas b. Malik reports that "The Prophet, peace be upon him, said, "Some persons from amongst those who kept me company will meet me at the Lake-fount. I will see them, and they will be presented to me. Then, they will be forced away from me. [b]I will say: 'O my Lord, my Sahabah! My Sahabah.' It will be said to me: 'You do not know what they INNOVATED after you.'" ~Sahih Muslim, vol. 4, p. 1800, #2304 (40) This is the true belief as per the companions of the prophet. Respect, prayers and praise to those who truly believe and never deviated from their faith. Those who apostatised should be learnt from so that we do not fall to their mistakes. Campaigning that ALL of them altogether are righteous and people of Jannah irrespective of their crimes is innovation which is contradictory against Quran and sunnah. These are the people shi'a have problem with.
