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

 

[Salman]

few favorites

The Message 1976

Lion of the desert - Omar Mukhtar

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.

[MENTION=139150]aliasad1998[/MENTION] Have you seen that movie ? think you will like it although you will need subtitles, it's the best I've seen on Salahudeen Ayubi

 

[the Great Khan]

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?

Has anyone watched Muhammad: The Messenger of God? Cannot find this anywhere. I think the release was exclusive to Iran only.
