From the seventh to the early seventeenth century, Muslims dominated the world. Inspired by the Prophet and his emphasis on education, Justice and social consciousness, they created a civilization that led the world in knowledge, science, culture, architecture and quality of life. For a thousand years, the Umayyads, Abbasids, Fatimids, Timurids, Ottomans, Safavids an Moguls ruled – establishing the golden age of Islam – while Europe slumbered in the Dark Ages.
Then, in the late seventeenth century, Europeans emerged as the new masters and Muslims were cast to the heap. For three hundred years, Muslims suffered the indignities and deprivations of a conquered people.
After the two World Wars of the twentieth century, Europe and Great Britain’s monopoly of power declined, the Muslims states in the Middle East were born and great leaders started the long fight to re-establish their people. Thus emerged a new generation of freedom fighters and nation builders, including Abdul Aziz ibn Saud, Kemal Ataturk, Gaddafi, king Faisal and Ruhollah Khomeini.
Muslims is the exciting story of these great men and their amazing achievements.
