I nirn aavaavjiaia By BOB THOMAS LOS ANGELES (AP) When Johnny Sekka was a boy at a Moslem school on MacCarthy Island in Gambia, he was assigned one day to voice the call to prayer. The headmaster told him afterward: "You have such an excellent voice, from now on you will do all the calling." Johnny Sekka today plays Bilal, the onetime slave whom Mohammad chose to be the first muezzin, in the film spectacle, "Mohammad, Messenger of God." "Imagine the thrill of playing Bilal after having made the call to prayer as a boy," the African actor said. "I approached it with great reverence, wanting to do the best possible job.

I tried to ponder, 'How was it done that first day when Bilal made the The result is a highlight in a film that has many moving scenes as well as fierce battles and some dull patches in its three hours. Sekka mounts a parapet and intones the holy words in a ringing voice. The faithful, exiled from Mecca to the town of Medina, leave their work and come to the primitive mosque to worship with Mohammad. Sekka won the role against heavyweight competition Muhammed Ali, no less.

in American documentaries, had acquired Arab backing and built a $1 million replica of Mecca near Marrakech in Morocco. He directed Anthony Quinn, Irene Pappas, Michael Ansara, Sekka and a largely English cast, plus thousands of extras, while the political pot boiled. "There was an air of uncertainty on the set," Sekka recalled. "We constantly heard rumors of a shutdown because many leaders of the Arab world were against the film. That situation was inflamed by reports in the western press that Quinn was playing the Prophet." Quinn actually plays Hamza, Mohammad's uncle.

Akkad followed the strict Moslem tradition that the Prophet could not be pictured in any way; the camera plays the role of Mohammad. "Akkad left the set one day to visit the king of Morocco," Sekka said. "When he returned, he told us, "This Film will be made. Nothing will stop But one day the soldiers arrived and production was shut down." The resourceful Akkad managed to find new financing and moved the immense production overland and by water to Libya. Throughout filming, he shot each dialogue scene twice in English and with another cast in Arabic.

"On the last day of shooting I cried," Sekka saidTT had lived the part more than any other, because of its closeness to my own experience. For 14 months I bad played it without an audience. Only now will I be able to determine if I succeeded." Johnny Sekka has come a long way since his birth in Dakar in 1939. He was an infant when his father died. Being one of six children be was sent to an aunt in the Gambia.

At IS he won a scholarship to study in Marseilles, later drifted to England and the theater. He studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, starred on the London stage in Minetor Johnson, appeared in such films as "Woman of Straw," "Khartoum" and "Warm December" with Sidney Poitier. Sekka made "Uptown Saturday Night" for Poitier and now lives here with his wife and son. His handsome ebony face will be seen in a pilot for a CBS series based on "The African Queen."

I have seen 'Superfly' and other ways blacks have been depicted in films; I've never seen a role with such dignity." It was a warming tribute for Sekka, who had undergone one of the most trying ordeals that any actor has faced.
