The Life of Muhammad
The Life of Muhammad is a three-part series charting the life of the Prophet Muhammad and the birth of Islam. Filmed in Saudi Arabia, it chronicles the evolution of Islam and its prophet over the centuries.
The film explores key issues surrounding Islam as a faith and how it is perceived around the world. Presenter Rageh Omaar travels to the place of Muhammad’s birth in Mecca to gain insight into the Prophet’s humble beginnings, his philosophy, and the factors that shaped his life. It examines Muhammad’s struggles with prophethood and divine revelation, his relocation to Medina to escape religious persecution, the drafting of the first Islamic constitution, and his largely bloodless conquest of Mecca following a series of armed conflicts.
The Life of Muhammad also examines the role of Islam in today’s world, looking at its stance on important issues such as money, charity, women’s rights, social equality, and war through the eyes of its followers.
