Rageh Omaar Explores Islam for BBC2

Rageh Omaar, TV news personality and corporate speaker, will delve into the life of the Prophet Muhammad for a three-part documentary series for BBC 2 called The Life of Muhammad.

Rageh explores the Prophet's humble beginnings in Mecca, his struggles with accepting his Prophetic role, his flight to Medina, the founding of the first Islamic constitution, and his subsequent military and political successes and failures – through to his death and his legacy.

Raising questions about Islam's role in the world today and exploring where Islam's attitudes towards money, charity, women, social equality, religious tolerance, war and conflict originate, the series offers a fascinating insight into the Islamic faith.
