The Message (Arabic: الرسالة, Ar-Risālah, lit. The Message; originally known as Mohammad, Messenger of God) is a 1976 Islamic epic drama film directed and produced by Moustapha Akkad, chronicling the life and times of the Islamic prophet Muhammad through the perspective of his uncle Hamza ibn Abdul-Muttalib and adopted son Zayd ibn Harithah.[4][5]

Released in separately filmed Arabic- and English-language versions, The Message serves as an introduction to early Islamic history. The international ensemble cast includes Anthony Quinn, Irene Papas, Michael Ansara, Johnny Sekka, Michael Forest, André Morell, Garrick Hagon, Damien Thomas, and Martin Benson. It was an international co-production between Libya, Morocco, Lebanon, Syria and the United Kingdom.
The film was nominated for Best Original Score in the 50th Academy Awards, composed by Maurice Jarre, but lost the award to Star Wars (composed by John Williams). Then-Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi provided the majority of the financial support.
Moustapha Akkad considered creating a film about Muhammad and the birth of Islam in 1967.[6] The film's script, written by H.A.L. Craig, was approved in its entirety by Tawfiq al-Hakim, a scholar at Al-Azhar University.[7] However, the film's approval was revoked and referred to as "an insult to Islam".[8] Ahmed Asmat Abdel-Meguid and Mowaffak Allaf, the permanent representatives to the United Nations for Egypt and Syria, praised the film for its depiction of Islam.[9] While creating The Message, director Akkad, who was Muslim, consulted Islamic clerics in a thorough attempt to be respectful towards Islam and its views on portraying Muhammad. It was rejected by the Muslim World League in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.[citation needed]
$10 million was raised for the film from Kuwait, Libya, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, and the United States and it had a final budget of $17 million. Akkad started filming in 1974, with a crew of 300, 40 actors for both English and Arabic language versions, and over 5,000 people for crowd shots. A $700,000 replica of Mecca was built near Marrakesh and Anthony Quinn was paid $1.5 million according to Michael Ansara.[10][7][11] Muhammad Ali wanted to play Bilal, but the role was given to Sekka instead with Sekka stating that "Akkad wanted a Moslem with acting experience to play the role" and "how could anyone believe that Ali could be tortured and abused as Bilal was?".[12]
Filming in Morocco started in April 1974, but Moroccan police forced them to stop filming on August 5, as Hassan II of Morocco had been pressured by Faisal of Saudi Arabia. Akkad was granted permission to film in Libya after showing unedited film to Muammar Gaddafi and filmed from October 1974, to May 1975. Gaddafi wanted Akkad to also make a film based on the life of Omar al-Mukhtar.[7][13][10] Akkad filmed the English and Arabic versions of the film simultaneously with different actors.[14]
I did the film because it is a personal thing for me. Besides its production values as a film, it has its story, its intrigue, its drama. Besides all this I think there was something personal, being a Muslim myself who lived in the west I felt that it was my obligation my duty to tell the truth about Islam. It is a religion that has a 700 million following, yet it's so little known about which surprised me. I thought I should tell the story that will bring this bridge, this gap to the west.[citation needed]
In July 1976, five days before the film opened in London's West End, threatening phone calls to a cinema prompted Akkad to change the title from Mohammed, Messenger of God to The Message, at a cost of 50,000.[15][16] The film was banned in Egypt, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia.[8] Irwin Yablans distributed the film in the United States.[17]
As the film was scheduled to premiere in the United States, a splinter group of the black nationalist Nation of Islam calling itself the Hanafi Movement staged a siege of the Washington, D.C. chapter of the B'nai B'rith.[18] Under the mistaken belief that Anthony Quinn played Muhammad in the film,[19] the group threatened to blow up the building and its inhabitants unless the film's opening was cancelled.[18][19] The movie was pulled from theaters on the day of its premiere, but resume playing after the siege ended.[20][21] Akkad offered to show the film to the Hanafi Muslims and said that he would destroy the film if they found it offensive.[22] The standoff was resolved after the deaths of a journalist and a policeman,[citation needed] but "the film's American box office prospects never recovered from the unfortunate controversy."[19]
Richard Eder of The New York Times described the effect of not showing Muhammad as "awkward" and likened it to "one of those Music Minus One records," adding that the acting was "on the level of crudity of an early Cecil B. DeMille Bible epic, but the direction and pace is far more languid."[30] John Pym of The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "The unalleviated tedium of this ten-million dollar enterprise (billed as the first 'petrodollar' movie) is largely due to the tawdry staginess of all the sets and the apparent inability of Moustapha Akkad ... to muster larger groups of people on any but two-dimensional planes."[31] Derek Malcolm, writing for The Guardian, criticized the film for its length.[28]
In February 2009, Barrie M. Osborne, producer of The Matrix and The Lord of the Rings film trilogies, was attached to produce a new film about Muhammad. The film was to be financed by a Qatari media company and was to be supervised by Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi.[38]

For example, if a user on a Basic plan shares a .mxf file with a user on a Professional Plan, the user on the Professional plan will not be shown a preview, even though the Professional plan should allow previews for those file types. Check this article for file types that each Dropbox plan supports.
If you're seeing the error message This file is too big to preview, it's because Dropbox sets a limit on the size of files that can preview. The file you're trying to preview exceeds this limit.
If you're seeing the error message Files without extensions cannot be previewed, it's because the file doesn't have a suffix attached to the filename. File suffixes (or "extensions") indicate the type of file, and help your computer understand which application to use to open it. If you remove this extension, the file won't preview.
If you're seeing a message that says File is uploading, it's because the file hasn't finished syncing to Dropbox. A file must be fully uploaded and saved (or "synced") to Dropbox before it can be previewed.
I was streaming a movie on my pro12 ipad, and a message popped up asking me to install VPN from the apple store and the option to download from the message. Is this a legitimate message from apple? Do I need to have VPN?
No, it is not a message from Apple. You do not need a VPN. That notification probably came from the website that you are on and using it to stream a movie. The website and the notifications are attempting to mislead you into buying something that you do not need.
Amazon Device Messaging (ADM) lets you send messages to Amazon devices that run your app, so you can keep users up to date and involved. Whether you're giving a user a game update or letting them know that a message from their buddy has arrived, ADM helps you stay in touch.
Protected. As a sender, your servers are verified via the OAuth 2.0 client credentials flow. As your message is passed to a device, the endpoint connections are authenticated and protected with industry-standard SSL encryption. And ADM uses Android permissions on the device to direct the message to your app only.
Simple. ADM is a transport mechanism, delivering message data to your app. ADM does not provide any built-in user interface or other handling for the data. For example, upon receiving a message, your app might wake up the device, post a notification, display a custom user interface, or sync data.
Flexible. ADM doesn't process the data you send in any way. Your message is only required to be no greater than 6KB in size and to send data in the form of JSONObject key:value pairs.
When working with ADM, you use the following elements to identify your servers, your app, and the destinations for your messages. Each of these works together to help ensure that your data belongs to you alone.
Registration ID. A registration ID identifies a unique instance of your app, running on a specific device, registered to a specific user. When it is first installed on a given device, your app requests a registration ID from ADM, as described in Integrate Your App. Your servers use the registration ID to direct messages to the correct device/user. If the user uninstalls then re-installs your app on the same device, your app's registration ID might change. 2ff7e9595c
