Abstract
Majid Majidi is a famous Iranian director who has won many awards around the world.
However, although he has won many awards, what makes Majidi a particularly interesting and
important Iranian filmmaker is his presentation of Islam in his movies. Unlike other Iranian
filmmakers, Majidi does not tell his audience about Islamic values; nor does he quote the Qur’an or
include the sayings of the Prophet (Hadith). Nevertheless, Islam penetrates all of his films in a subtle
way and to such an extent that watching a Majidi movie is like reading theQur’an. This essay will
show the view of Islam Majid Majidi represents in his films and how he represents that view of Islam.
