"...How to film the life of a man who ordered that no one should ever make an image of him?..."

Do any credible descriptions of him exist?

Was he an ugly mammer-jammer? goofy looking? What?

Who'd be the most natural in the role of 'mohammed!'?

Marlon Brando?... Or PeeWee Herman?

And who would be best in the role of his wife?

Mara Wilson? Nah... She's too OLD...

There are several sources, like the hadith:

The koran also shows a lot of what kind of man he was.

Also several biographies exist.

But there is much discussion about it. The most reliable source however remains the hadith of Bukhari and Muslim, which are declared 'sahih', which means they are seen as authentic and do not contradict the koran.
