Muhammad: The Messenger of God is a 2015 Iranian Islamic epic film directed by Majid Majidi and co-written with Kambuzia Partovi. Set in the sixth century, the plot revolves around the childhood of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, whose face is obscured and never shown onscreen.

Production

Majid Majidi's film The Willow Tree was about to have its premiere at the 17th NatFilm Festival. However, the director backed out the screening of the film citing the controversy created by the Jyllands-Posten over cartoon depiction of Islamic prophet Muhammad. According to Majidi, the publishing insulted the population of Muslim people and disrespected the boundaries of the holy sanctuaries of beliefs.

I thought to myself how can they hold an honoring ceremony for me in a country where my beliefs and sanctities are insulted... So, in a letter I said I could not attend the ceremony (in a country) where my holiest sanctities are desecrated.

Pre-production began in October 2007 with the first screenplay draft ready by March 2009. In early 2011, an enormous set of an estimated 100 hectares (250 acres) was built near the city of Qom. The set resembled sixth-century Mecca and Medina during the early years of the life of Muhammad. A replica of the Kaaba shrine was built in the remote village of Mazraeh-ye Allahyar.

By the following month, filming had commenced and the minister of culture and Islamic guidance Mohammad Hosseini confirmed that a movie about Muhammad was being filmed. The film was partially funded by the Iranian government. Mohammad Mehdi Heidarian was announced as the producer, and Shining Light (Noor-e-Taban) was the project's financial backer.

The cinematographer, Vittorio Storaro, arrived in Iran with a 30-man crew. Storato accepted the project after he had a brief discussion about the film with Majidi in Rome. Scott E. Anderson was involved as a visual effects supervisor. Croatian production designer Miljen Kreka Kljakovic was named as the art director, and Giannetto De Rossi as the make-up artist. Costume designers from Germany, Croatia and Slovenia were chosen in August 2013.
