Pearl of Wisdom
'Sleeping can be in four ways: prophets (AS) sleep straight on their backs and their eyes do not sleep waiting for the revelation of Allah. The believer sleeps on his right side facing the qibla. Kings and their children sleep on their left side enjoying what they ate. Satan, his brethren and every insane and deformed person sleeps flat on their front.'
Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib [as] al-Khisal, p. 263, no. 140

In this 90-minute documentary, Rageh Omaar uncovers the hidden story of Europe's Islamic past and looks back to a golden age when European civilisation was enriched by Islamic learning.
Rageh travels across medieval Muslim Europe to reveal the vibrant civilisation that Muslims brought to the West. This evocative film brings to life a time when emirs and caliphs dominated Spain and Sicily and Islamic scholarship swept into the major cities of Europe. His journey reveals the debt owed to Islam for its vital contribution to the European Renaissance.
