Pearl of Wisdom
I saw a guest once at Abi 'Abdillah's [i.e. Imam al-Sadiq] (AS) house, who stood up to get something he needed, so Imam refused for him to do so, and stood up to get it himself, saying, 'The Prophet of Allah (SAWA) prohibited that a guest be allowed to do work.'
Ibn Abi Ya'fur al-Kafi, v. 6, p. 283, no. 1

An Islamic History of Europe |
|

In this 90-minute documentary, Rageh Omaar uncovers the hidden story of Europe's Islamic past and looks back to a golden age when European civilisation was enriched by Islamic learning.
Rageh travels across medieval Muslim Europe to reveal the vibrant civilisation that Muslims brought to the West. This evocative film brings to life a time when emirs and caliphs dominated Spain and Sicily and Islamic scholarship swept into the major cities of Europe. His journey reveals the debt owed to Islam for its vital contribution to the European Renaissance.
