Life of Muhammad: The Seeker

Pearl of Wisdom

The Prophet (SAWA) passed by an insane person and asked, 'What is wrong with him?' He was told that? he had gone mad. The Prophet (SAWA) then remarked, 'Rather, he is afflicted. The one who has gone mad is the one who prefers this world to the next.'

Life of Muhammad: The Seeker

In a ground-breaking first for British television, this three-part series presented by Rageh Omaar charts the life of Muhammad, a man who - for the billion and half Muslims across the globe - is the messenger and final prophet of God.

In a journey that is both literal and historical, and beginning in Muhammad's birthplace of Mecca, Omaar investigates the Arabia Muhammad was born into - a world of tribal loyalties and polytheistic religion.

Drawing on the expertise and comment of some of the world's leading academics and commentators on Islam, the programme examines Muhammad's first marriage to Khadijah and how he received the first of the revelations that had such a profound effect both on his life, and on the lives of those closest to him.
