Assalamu aleikum,
Just want to recommend a movie, can be found on DVD, called 'The Message'. I am probably one of the last to see it [img]style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif[/img] , since it is already 30 years old.
It is directed by Moustapha Akkad. Anthony Quinn plays the role of Hamza.
It is of the early days of Islam, persecution of the early Muslims forcing them to eventually leave Mecca and go to Medina.
Truly a very touching movie and just imagining how it was for the first Muslims, that for the first time heard Bilal calling out Adhan, it is just overwhelming mashaAllah.
Wasalam
