Seven Wonders of the Muslim World

Pearl of Wisdom

my grandfather narrated to me that Musa b. Ja'far (AS) was called the righteous slave due to his worship and hard work. Our companions narrated that he would enter the mosque of the Prophet (SAWA) and would perform a prostration early in the night. He was heard to say in his prostration, my sin from me is great whilst Your pardon from You is graceful. O One who is worthy of being feared and O One who is worthy of granting forgiveness'. He would repeat this until morning. He was generous and noble. He was once informed of someone who spoke ill of him, so he sent for him a tray with one thousand d mars.'

Hasan b. Muhammad b. Yahya al-'Alawi

Seven Wonders of the Muslim World

Explore the lives and beliefs of six young people whose usual places of worship are some of the most beautiful and historic mosques in the Muslim world. In this series of intimate portraits, join them as they leave their homes and families to travel to Saudi Arabia on their journeys of a lifetime – the pilgrimage to Mecca, where the Prophet Muhammad was born.

With the decades of the death of Prophet Muhammad, Islam spread rapidly, and its history can be traced through the flowering of exquisite Muslim architecture. Over the next few hundred years, fabulous mosques from Spain to Iran, Turkey to Mali, formed a focus of Muslim life, as they continue to do today.
