The movie was a good source of information to help, and very effective, although very dull and could quite possibly be used as a children's lullaby.

However, Islam has taken this restriction to the extreme and expand the restrictions outside the realm of religious writings, whereas the Christians and Catholics later embraced and progressed the artistic process to further project their message and proclaimed glory.
