Pearl of Wisdom
to Qanbar when he wished to insult a man who had insulted him, 'Careful Qanbar! Leave your insulter to his disdain and you will please the Beneficent Lord, displease Satan and Punish thereby your enemy, for by the One who split the grain and created the breeze, there is no stance better than clemency with which a believer can please his Lord, and nothing like silence to offend Satan, and an idiot is best punished by ignoring Him.'
Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib [as] Amali al-Mufid, p. 118, no. 2

Muhammad - Legacy of a Prophet |
|
|

Fourteen hundred years ago, a humble merchant changed the face of Arabia. Today, his influence has spread to every corner of the world including the United States.
This is the story Muslims have passed down from generation to generation for 1400 years. It is a story about the merchant, husband, father, statesman and warrior whom is the final Prophet, the man whose legacy continues to shape their lives today. The dramatic story of Muhammad, who changed world history in 20 years and continues to influence the lives of a billion people, will challenge prevailing perceptions of Islam.
This thorough portrait of Islam's Prophet, based on historical records and modern interpretations by followers, takes viewers into American Muslims' homes, mosques, and workplaces, then journeys to ancient Middle Eastern sites where it all began.
