Pearl of Wisdom
'I once went to visit Abu 'Abdillah [al-Sadiq] (AS) along with one of our companions. I said to him, ?O son of the Prophet! Could I but sacrifice myself for you. I grieve and become sorrowful without knowing the cause of that.' So Abu 'Abdillah (AS) replied, 'Truly that sorrow and joy reaches you from us, for when sorrow or joy comes to us it comes to you too, for indeed we and you are all from the Light of Allah, Mighty and Exalted.'
Abu Basir Hal al-Shara'i', p. 93, no. 2

Explore the lives and beliefs of six young people whose usual places of worship are some of the most beautiful and historic mosques in the Muslim world. In this series of intimate portraits, join them as they leave their homes and families to travel to Saudi Arabia on their journeys of a lifetime – the pilgrimage to Mecca, where the Prophet Muhammad was born.
With the decades of the death of Prophet Muhammad, Islam spread rapidly, and its history can be traced through the flowering of exquisite Muslim architecture. Over the next few hundred years, fabulous mosques from Spain to Iran, Turkey to Mali, formed a focus of Muslim life, as they continue to do today.
Seven Wonders of the Muslim World starts its journey to six of these locations and culminates at the mosque towards which all practicing Muslims turn when they pray.
