Mohammad Asad was born Leopold Weiss in Ukraine, the son of a Jewish barrister and grandson of an orthodox rabbi. In 1926, he converted to Islam and became Muhammad Asad. "The great mistake," he once explained, "is that most of these leaders start with the Hudood [crimnal punishments]. This is the end result of the shari’ah [Islamic Law], not the beginning. The beginning is the rights of the people. There is no punishment in Islam which has no corresponding right."
Mohammad Asad (Leopold Weiss) was a great writer and an enlightened thinker. In his translation of “The Message of The Qur’an” - which is a translation for the thoughtful, who is willing to take a refreshing look - Mohammad Asad gives an interestingly rationalized translation and commentary. He has also written “Islam at the Cross Roads," the whole of which I have read and enjoyed reading; and, I wish every Muslim read it, especially the youth.

Hi! The DVD will be available finally - from the 15th of May. It´s the Original Version with English, French, Spanish, Arab, Turkish, Hebrew, Bosnian and German Subtitles. It will be possible to buy it from our website Mischief Films.
Where can I watch this?? I'm searching online, and I can't even find it. I'll pay for it... Cant you get it up on Amazon Unbox or something? It's like self publishing. Sometimes you can get books published one at a time so you don't need some big contract.
Muhammad Asad was possibly the closest most influential man in the 20th century to truly understand Islam.
His translation and commentary of the Quran is highly controversial among fundamentalists as it is very reformist or as i say, more traditional in that Prophet Muhammads interpretation of the Quran is discovered by Asad.
The movie explains and goes into more details on this topic of interpretation and translation of the Quran.
@ahmed4y4n Oh yes I agree, his commentary on the Quran is probably one of the best I've seen, and it helped me give me along with Khaled Abou El Fadl my understanding of Islam I have today, Muhammad Asad was a great man, we need more scholars like him, to bring out what Islam really is, I've been Muslim for almost 7 years, I would've left it earlier after I hung out with the Salafi crowd which I nearly lost my faith because of them but I discover the thoughts of Asad and Fadl it really helped me
I checked those who made this movie and it has not been picked up by distributor yet so you can only buy for it like £400 which i think is distributor cost...
where can i find this movie? This will be interesting because Muhammad Asad is considered one of the greatest gift of Islam to modern age of Europe. He translates Quran, and he has been speaking to Europe and the west world about the misunderstanding between the west and Islam.
He's also one of the initiator for Pakistan Islamic Nation and UN ambassador.
Not so many people know that he has give so many fundamental steps for Europe to embraces Islam in a positive way.
Muhammad Asad is an austrain jew who converted to Islam in the 1920s after he came to a trip to arabia as a journalist he was a friend of many bediuns he wrote the book "the road to mekka" An amazing book about bediouns and lhis ife in the desert at that time which im reading right now
Muhammed Asad was a Jew who converted to Islam & fought as a Mujahideen in the Italian-Libyan war & helped Umer Al Mukhtar's fighters..,.In a 1920's when the entire arab world were scared to help Libya...Muhammed Asad use to take weapons & other supplies into Libya through Egypt....which helped Umar Al Mukhtar's mujahideen to continue fighting against the Italians....Muhammed Asad's name is well known in Libya....

I don't like seeing islam dramatized in films like this.
how about making a documentary instead of making cheap sound effects to attract more unwanted people

You have to see the film before you can judge it. It is 90 minutes long, the trailer is just an ad.
