Pearl of Wisdom
People who perform acts of courtesy towards others benefit more from them than the receptors of their kindness, for verily they have the reward for them, the [rewarding feeling of] pride for having helped someone as well as a mention. So however much good a man may do for others, it ultimately always starts by benefiting himself, and hence he never seeks thanks for the benefit incurred by himself through helping others.'
Imam Muhammad ibn Ali al-Taqi [as] Kashf al-Ghamma, v. 3, p. 137

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.
