Pearl of Wisdom
'Verily the world and the Hereafter are two opposing enemies and two different paths, so whoever loves and befriends the world has despised the Hereafter and has made it his enemy. They [the world and the Hereafter] are like the east and the west and whoever walks between them, however much he gets closer to one, he distances himself from the other. After all, they are like two wives of the same husband.'
Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib [as] Nahj al-Baldgha, Saying 103

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.
