What is Islam? Who is Muhammad (PBUH)? This documentary is series narrated by Ben Kingsley.
PART 1
This part deals with the life of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), his early life, his encounter with God Almighty and the birth of the Islam. Islam would become the revitalizing force of a barbaric Arabia, returning people to God and bringing back the monotheistic message of Christianity and Judaism in its most powerful way.: Islam Women were given rights over there husbands, racism was annihilated and the rich were made equal to the poor. This religion is the solution to all of humanities problems and it is important to learn about it today.
PART 2
This part relates the golden age of Islam. A time of great learning when Europe was steeped in the Dark Ages. The building of great works of architecture, reading, writing, mathematics, medicine, and astronomy. Even before the printing press Muslims would have hundreds of scribes writing all at once so they would learn and reproduce the writings.
PART 3
This portion deals with the growing Ottoman Empire, which would control the bridge between 3 continents: Africa, Europe and Asia. This empire would begin at the close of the Crusades until World War I, from the 1300s to 1923. They would rule the entire Middle East and make there way into Europe. Before there was the state of Israel, there was great peace in the Holy Land regulated by the Ottomans.

Good day Sir,
My name is RJ Claravall. I am very much interested in how Islam propagated in the Philippines. In that subject I’ve realized the crucial participation of Sultan Kudarat, and very much hungry for his origins. Especially the marriage of Gayang and Manakior or Gayang with Nuni.
Your name have been listed in the books especially.
I am hoping that you can help me with this.
Thanks in advance.
Truly your,
RJ Claravall
