Between the
fall of Rome and the European voyages of discovery, no
event was more significant than the rise of Islam.
This three-part series tells the spectacular story of
the great sweep of Islamic power and faith during its
first 1,000 years -- from the birth of the prophet
Muhammad to the peak of the Ottoman Empire under the
reign of Suleiman the Magnificent.
Evocative
re-enactments and a remarkable exposition of Islamic
art, artifacts and architecture are combined with
interviews with scholars from around the world to
recount the rise and glory of early Islamic
civilization. It is the epic story of a cultural
empire that dominated a millennium, encompassed half
the world and shaped history.

In the
year 600 A.D. a wind swept across the Arabian
desert, where, in the little town called Mecca, an
literate orphan named Muhammad came to be the
prophet to whom the word of God was revealed- and
the world as change d forever. Herein lies the
beginning of the faith known as Islam, a religion
that today claims over one billion dev out
believers throughout the planet. Yet it is a faith
more misunderstood than any other in the history
of mankind.
This brilliantly produced film takes us on a
journey through the "Story of Islam", from its
humble beginnings 1300 years ago, to its place in
the world today. We are introduced to the culture,
philosophy and staples of this w ay of life, which
is rapidly being embraced by many in the West. If
you are not familiar with the principles of Isl
am, you will be surprised- perhaps even shocked-
to learn of the amazing similarities between the
Muslim, Christian, and Judaic faiths.
