An Islamic History of Europe

Pearl of Wisdom

One of our companions narrated, 'I was sitting with Abu 'Abdillah (AS) when he recited the verse: So when the first occasion of the two [prophecies} came, We aroused against you Our servants possessing great might, and they ransacked [your} habitations, and the promise was bound to be fulfilled. We asked, 'Who are those, may we be your ransom?' He said three times, 'By Allah! These are the people of Qum.'

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.
