Bilal: A New Breed of Hero (2015)
PG-13 | 1h 45min | Animation, Action, Adventure | 8 September 2016 (United Arab Emirates)

A thousand years ago, one boy with a dream of becoming a great warrior is abducted with his sister and taken to a land far away from home. Thrown into a world where greed and injustice rule all, Bilal finds the courage to raise his voice and make a change. Inspired by true events, this is a story of a real hero who earned his remembrance in time and history.

Saladin the Victorious (El Naser Salah el Dine) from 1963 is brilliant, besides that I've seen Kingdom of Heaven which was also good but the 1963 movie is the best on Saladin. Besides this I've not seen anything, there might have been one called The Message ? and an animated one called The Prince of Egypt
 
few favorites

The Message 1976

There was this tv show on Hz Umar
 
Great suggestions. Keep them coming. Thinking of instituting a 'movie' night at the local mosque so all ideas welcome.

Really enjoyed Fateh about Ottoman Empire and Hazrat Umar's series which is probably the best Islamic adaptation on TV ever, sad that they discontinued it because few sensitive arabs felt offended by it for no reason. Think it had 1 or 2 seasons.

Also, Kingdom of Heaven? That was epic too. Has big actors like Orlando Bloom and Eva Green.

I'd not heard of it at all.

From IMDB page looks like it got Middle East box office release. I'd guess as a animation aimed at kids it's mainly a DVD thing?
