Muhammad: The Messenger of God is a 2015 Iranian film directed by Majid Majidi that tells the story of the childhood and early life of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.

The film begins with an introduction to Prophet Muhammad's birth in Mecca on the Arabian Peninsula around 570 CE. As a baby, he was taken into care after being abandoned as a result of his father's death. He was raised by his uncle in Yathrib (modern-day Medina) where he spent much of his childhood and adolescence.

As a young man, Muhammad traveled extensively throughout Arabia engaging in trade between Mecca and Damascus. During one such journey to the city of Busra on the Syrian border, Prophet Muhammad had an encounter with a Christian monk named Samaan Al-Khalil who prophesied that he would be sent as a messenger by God.

Upon his return home, Muhammad married Khadijah, a wealthy widow nearly 15 years older than him. She was impressed not only by his exceptional character but also by the positive reputation he had earned among both Muslims and non-Muslims alike for being honest and trustworthy in all aspects of life - earning him many nicknames such as al-Amin (The Faithful).
