A documentary series of five 52-minute episodes on the genesis of Islam, the life of the Prophet, the Koran, the Sunna, the Haddith, the emergence of the commentaries and Muslim rights, but also the Arabs, their language and civilization. We have divided the series into five episodes to highlight the different stages of the rise of the third and last of the great monotheistic religions, which sees itself as the perfection of the other two. Our aim is to combine the educational and the esthetic, to clearly describe the historical facts and founding principles of Islam.
