INSIDE ISLAM

Understanding 1.6 billion people

Synopsis

Islam is very much in the zeitgeist and the center of attention the world over. Yet, this is a religion that many barely know.

INSIDE ISLAM provides an opportunity to better understand this religion though extensive journeys to 15 Islamic countries. The series addresses questions such as what does the word “Koran” mean, who was Allah, how people live their faith in different places, what’s their cultural heritage and how it spread across continents.

We explore various faces of Islam, which enable us to take a new look at one of the oldest and widely practiced religion on earth.
