Muhammad: Legacy of a Prophet

Muhammad: Legacy of a Prophet presents a thorough and engaging account of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, whose teachings from over 1,400 years ago continue to influence the lives of more than a billion people today. It delves into the seventh-century world of Arabia with the aim of examining the history and life of a man whom Muslims regard as the final prophet. The documentary also looks into mosques, homes, and workplaces of some of the seven million Muslims living in the United States, seeking to uncover the many ways in which modern Muslims continue to follow the example of Muhammad.

The film is particularly relevant in the post-9/11 period, as it aims to present a rarely encountered perspective on Islam and Muslims by portraying their responses to the attacks, their aftermath, and the often misunderstood concept of jihad. Muhammad: Legacy of a Prophet is a thought-provoking film that also explores complex issues within the broader context of religious faith, Middle Eastern politics, cultural traditions, and women’s rights.
