Al-Resalah (Arabic: قناة الرسالة; The Message) is an Arabic language satellite television channel "to present true Islam".
It is funded by Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal of Saudi Arabia, recorded in all over the United Arab Emirates to Morocco and Kuwait, and broadcast from Cairo. Al-Resalah has slots on the Arabsat and Nilesat satellites, serving primarily the ]]Middle East\\, but ]]North Africa\\ and Europe as well.
The General Manager of Al Resalah was Tareq Al-Suwaidan, a former host at the Middle East Broadcasting Center (MBC) and a leading member of the Kuwaiti Muslim Brotherhood.
