iFilm to air biopic on Prophet Muhammad

iFilm English TV Channel has been set to screen religious biopic ‘Muhammad: The Messenger of God’ on Saturday.

The first part of Majid Majidi’s masterpiece will be aired on September 14, 2024.

The movie portrays the life of Islam’s Holy Prophet and narrates the early years of his prophecy in Mecca. This is the first part of a trilogy based on the life story of the Prophet.

‘Muhammad: The Messenger of God’ initially sets in a time when Muslims were boycotted in an area called “She’eb Abi Talib”.  From the very beginning, the film starts with a flashback to events surrounding the prophet’s pre-birth and adolescence.

The story of Abraha and his attack on Mecca as well as the prophet’s birth and his mother’s death after giving birth to Muhammad (PBUH) are some of the main sequences.

The impressive work ends with the first journey of the Prophet to the Levant in today’s Syria where he visited a Christian monk who foretold prophethood for him.

Mohsen Tanabandeh, Sareh Bayat, Alireza Shoja-Nouri, Daryoush Farhang, Mehdi Pakdel, and Mina Sadati are on the cast list of the movie.

The first part of ‘Muhammad: The Messenger of God’, made in 2015, is scheduled to go on air at 22:00 GMT.

iFilm English TV will also repeat the movie the next day at 04:00, 10:00 and 16:00.

The second part of the movie will be aired next week.
