Pearl of Wisdom
'He expresses information but not through a tongue or voice. He listens but not with the holes and organs of hearing. He speaks but does not utter words; He remembers but does not learn... When He wishes to create something, He says to it 'Be' and it is , but not through a voice that can strike the ears, nor a calling that can be heard. Rather, His speech, Glory be to Him, is an act of His that he creates and incorporates, which did not exist before, for were it an ever-existing thing it would be a second god.'
Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib [as] Nahj al-Balagha, Sermon 186

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.
