1-From its start till the end, this film stresses the concept of Jesus as the saviour, which is not an Islamic concept. Muslims do not believe that any human being, even Prophet Muhammad, PBUH, is our saviour. Rather, he, Muhammad, is our teacher and guide to the straight path. Every Muslim is responsible for his/her choices and actions. The concept of the saviour is the core of Christianity. Christians believe that Jesus is their saviour as they believe that he was crucified and suffered to save them from Hell-fire.
The idea of the saviour originates from the Christian belief of Jesus being crucified. On the other hand, this idea or claim is strongly rejected in The Qur'an in surah 4, verse 157-158:
وقولهم إنا قتلناالمسيح عيسى بن مريم وما قتلوه وما صلبوه ولكن شبه لهم وإن الذين اختلفوا فيه لفى شك منه مالهم به من علم إلا اتباع الظن وما قتلوه يقينا* بل رفعه الله إليه وكان الله عزيزا حكيما* وإن من أهل الكتاب إلا ليؤمنن به قبل موته ويوم القيامة يكون عليهم شهيدا
"They did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, though it was made to appear like that to them; they certainly did not kill him. Allah raised him up to Himself. Allah is Almighty and all-Wise. Then there is not one of the people of the book who will not believe in him [as a messenger of Allh] before his [Jesus] death, and on the day of Resurrection he [Jesus] will be a witness against them."
"They did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, though it was made to appear like that to them; they certainly did not kill him. Allah raised him up to Himself. Allah is Almighty and all-Wise. Then there is not one of the people of the book who will not believe in him [as a messenger of Allh] before his [Jesus] death, and on the day of Resurrection he [Jesus] will be a witness against them."
It is clear in the above verses, that the Qur'an firmly negates the crucifixion, confirming that Allah the Almighty did not allow it to happen, and saved Jesus by raising him up to Himself. It is also clear that Jesus, may Allah's peace be upon him, will be a witness against those who will claim other than the truth about him as is communicated in the Qur'an.
2- Muslims reject the symbolising of Prophets via acting, pictures or illustrations, etc.
In this film, the characters of Prophet Zachariyyah, the honourable Mariam, mother of Jesus as well as others, were played by acters, which is absolutely unacceplatble from the islamic point of view.
3- Most of the events in this film are not authentic from the Islamic point of view, as they were taken from Scriptures other than the Qur'an. This is despite the fact that the Prophet PBUH, has ordered us not to take information from Scriptures other than the Qur'an; he said:

"Neither believe them nor accuse them of lying."
My dear readers , it is important to note that highlighting the false concept of the saviour in this film simulates the tactic that is used by those who published the booklet, al Siratul Mustaqiim and the website, which the previous post warned Muslims against. We should therefore be careful of similar material which has an Islamic cover, but the contents may not necessarily be the same as what is advertised."Neither believe them nor accuse them of lying."
