Abstract

Respecting the Prophets is necessary in every religion and desecrating them is punishable.In the present day, the contempt of the Prophets is being promoted in the Western world through film production. IN the past one hundred years the concept of presenting the live of the prophet Jesus in the film stories and web series aredeveloping.1895 Sakladnowsky Bros, started the era of filmography, and after two months Lumiere bros as well, but they didn’t get the well audience, the dramatic irony continued and they started the filming of Jesus and showing his miracles on screens and theaters, then they got their goals and aims. Time to time western cinema showed his personality as married, as gay and as nudist Prophet, which is not only against Islamic Shari’ah and faith but its Christian religion either. In Islamic point of view, it’s offensive pictorial scenario of the past whole history. In this paper will show out those superstitions and figures out his real personality through the Theological Data.
