Documentary / Movie - Seven Wonders of the Muslim World

Pearl of Wisdom

'Verily Hasan b. 'Ali b. Abi Talib was the best worshipper of his time, the most abstemious and the best of them all. Whenever he went for Hajj', he went on foot, and sometimes even bare-footed. When he remembered death, he cried. When he remembered the grave, he cried. When he was reminded of the Day of Judgment and Resurrection, he cried. When he was reminded of the crossing over the Bridge [outstretched over Hell], he cried. When he was reminded of the great exposure before Allah exalted be His remembrance he would gasp in such a way that he would faint. When he stood for his prayers, his limbs Imam Husayn b. ?Ali (AS) trembled before his Lord. When he was reminded of Paradise and the Fire, he was greatly disturbed as if bitten by a snake, and asked Allah for Paradise and sought refuge in Him from the Fire.'

Imam Ali ibn Hussain Zayn al-'Abidin [as]

Amali al-Saduq, p. 244, no. 262

Documentary / Movie - Seven Wonders of the Muslim World

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.
