Episode 34. Everyone agrees that China’s rise and transformation over the last few decades has been absolutely amazing. Napoleon had once remarked about China “Let her sleep, for when she wakes she will shake the world”. It seems China has re-awakened, and it is making its presence being felt all around the world. When we look at the overall recorded history of the world, which goes back several thousand years, Asia has been the most important region of the world. For nearly two thousand years, until the mid-1800s, China, and India, were the biggest economies of the world. In many ways the last 200 years of European dominance have been an aberration. Human civilisations and nations are like living organisms, they have life cycles. Some evolve into new nations and cultures and some totally disappear from the face of the globe. China represents a large nation and a civilisation, which has gone through several cycles and has had many ups and downs. China is the only ancient civilisation to fall down several times and rise again to enter the modern world. One of the most important distinguishing features of China is that it is a civilisational state, unlike many other states in the world. For about two and a half thousand years there has been a Chinese nation using a Chinese language. China has had a continuing experience of civilisation rivalled in duration only by that of ancient Egypt.

Episode 39. Hijab: A Mode of Worship Along with all of Islam's teachings towards men and women, the veil helps to create the peaceful society that the religion nurtures. The hijab has several layers of wisdom and blessings. It may not give complete protection against evil, but it can alter the wearer's tenacity in the same way that prayer has a greater impact on our inner states rather than just our outside circumstances. Since human nature is immutable, the laws that must govern our discipline should likewise be based on tried-and-true basic ideas. Man's nature being immutable, the need to shed this outer layer of modesty does not exist, even so, some see the hijab as an outdated ritual.

Episode 51. Evolution II. The theory of Evolution as put forth by Charles Darwin is universally accepted as a truism, it is the process that governed and shaped life.

Can one not be both? The Holy Quran makes a wide range of observations covering the entire span of the creative process, pertaining to both the evolution of life and the preparatory stages preceding it. The modern theory of punctuated equilibrium might just be proof of a guided evolution that one has been looking for.

In the first episode of this 2 part documentary we explore the extraordinary story of Al-Andalus — the Islamic civilization that transformed medieval Spain into a beacon of tolerance, innovation, and scholarship. From the bold landing of Ṭāriq ibn Ziyād to the golden age of Córdoba, where Muslims, Christians, and Jews lived and learned together, we uncover a legacy that shaped Europe’s Renaissance. Featuring the stories of towering figures like Ibn Arabi, Ibn Rushd, and Al-Zahrawi, this narrative brings to life the mosques, libraries, and gardens that once symbolized a lost era of harmony. Though Al-Andalus eventually fell to the Reconquista, its spirit still echoes in the architecture, language, and memory of Spain. A tale of glory, loss, and enduring hope — this is Al-Andalus.

Series 4 Episode 2: Starting from historical perspective the episode covers certain scientific achievements in the Golden age. Emphasis is placed on three scholars: Ibn Haytham (Alhazen), Al Biruni, Ibn Sina (Avicenna). Al Haytham is considered the father of modern optics and the father of the scientific method. Sometimes referred to as one of the greatest scientists of all time. Al Biruni, was a polymath (like all three examples) and authored 146 works relating to astronomy, mathematics, and geography, did survey on India. Al Biruni, visited India, studied Hinduism and worked out mathematical proofs for the circumference of the earth. Avicenna wrote a magnificent medical textbook (Canon of Medicine) that was renowned across the world for many centuries until 17 th century. He was also a great philosopher and wrote about the thought experiments such as the floating man experiment. He was a child prodigy and mastered medicine by the age of 18. The Muslim leaders at the time made significant investments in knowledge, research and scholarship through their investment in libraries, great translation movements and the thinkers themselves. Other scientists covered in the episode include Al Khwarizmi, who was a great mathematician, who developed the modern numbering system through adding the zero. He was a polymath, and worked on geography as well. Others great thinkers covered in this episode included Al Kindi and Ibn Rushd. What were these scholars motivated by? This episode explores this question to and tries to understand what the explanation for the Islamic golden age was. Earlier motivations were such as trying to solve navigation and for finding the direction for the Qibla. The Holy Quran was the great motivator. Arabic became the international language of discussion and science, and both faith and reasoning were core principles.

Episode 37. Everyone agrees that China’s rise and transformation over the last few decades has been absolutely amazing. Napoleon had once remarked about China “Let her sleep, for when she wakes she will shake the world”. It seems China has re-awakened, and it is making its presence being felt all around the world. When we look at the overall recorded history of the world, which goes back several thousand years, Asia has been the most important region of the world. For nearly two thousand years, until the mid-1800s, China, and India, were the biggest economies of the world. In many ways the last 200 years of European dominance have been an aberration. Human civilisations and nations are like living organisms, they have life cycles. Some evolve into new nations and cultures and some totally disappear from the face of the globe. China represents a large nation and a civilisation, which has gone through several cycles and has had many ups and downs. China is the only ancient civilisation to fall down several times and rise again to enter the modern world. One of the most important distinguishing features of China is that it is a civilisational state, unlike many other states in the world. For about two and a half thousand years there has been a Chinese nation using a Chinese language. China has had a continuing experience of civilisation rivalled in duration only by that of ancient Egypt. Dr Mohammed Iqbal the host of Living History will explore the rich history of China in a four part programme with his panelists Arif Ahmed and Yousaf Aftab. This is part 4 of this 4 part series, which will cover the rise of Modern China after the end of the Qing dynasty in 1912 and how it became an economic powerhouse.

Episode 34. The Theme for this show is ‘Jesus and Islam’. The prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) is mentioned at numerous places throughout the Holy Quran, so, if you really love Jesus, and want to know more about him, then you need to read about him in the Holy Quran, as without reading about him in this most widely read book on Earth, you can never really say that you know him. The first poem come from the inspiring words of sister Faiza Kiran with her poem titled ‘The Game of Trinity’, and share the true teachings of Jesus and his belief in the one God. The second poem is actually a Christian hymn, and a Hymn for that matter which happens also to be the most famous Hymn of all times. "Amazing Grace" was published in 1779 by the English Anglican clergyman and poet John Newton and is without a doubt the most famous of all the Christian and secular folk hymns, with a message that forgiveness and redemption are possible regardless of sins committed and that the soul can be delivered from despair through the mercy of God. The Third poem is from the acclaimed poet Furqan Mehmud from Fitchburg, Massachusetts in the USA with his poem on the Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) titled - Eli Eli Lama Sabakh thani. And just by way of introduction, this poem is based around his final whilst words on the cross, where he cried with a loud voice ““Eli, Eli, lama sabakh thani” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Mark 15:34) The fourth poem may come to many as a bit of a shock. Why? Because there is quite a lot to take on, and the evidence quoted stands on solid rock. Eloquently written and presented by the acclaimed poet Dr Bushra Khan with her poem titled: “Jesus Christ, son of Mary”. The final poem was written by Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the Promised Messiah. The Messiah that was expected to follow the messenger of Allah, the Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and that would revive Islam, and to bring back the lost teachings of the pure Islam, just as Jesus’s mission was to bring back the lost teachings of the Prophet Moses (peace be upon him). This poem was originally written in Urdu, and the English translation is presented which provides just an essence of the original poetical gems. The poem is titled: “Death of Jesus of Nazareth”.
