Details on Documentary:

Between the fall of Rome and the European voyages of
discovery, few events were more significant than the rise of Islam. Within a few centuries, the Islamic empires blossomed, projecting their power from Africa to the East Indies, and from Spain to India. Inspired by the words of Prophet Mohammed, and led by caliphs and sultans, this political and religious expansion remains unequaled in speed, geographic size and endurance.

Narrated by Ben Kingsley. The three hour program tells the spectacular story of the great sweep of the Islamic power and faith during its first 1000 years - from the birth of Prophet Mohammed to the peak of the Ottoman Empire under the reign of Suleyman the Magnificent. Historical re-enactments and a remarkable exposition of Islamic art, artifacts and architecture and combined with interviews of scholars from around the world to recount the rise and importance of early Islamic civilization. Increasingly, scholars and historians are recognizing the profound impact that Islamic civilization has had on Western culture and the course of world history.
