Decoding the Past: Secrets of the Koran
For almost one billion people worldwide, the Koran is the Holy Scripture, the word of God and his prophet. For others, it is an historical artifact that has left an indelible imprint on the world. This feature-length program examines the history of the verses and their implications for modern times, as well as the striking similarities and differences between the Koran and the Bible. Trace the influence of the Koran from the Golden Age of Islam to the modern rise of jihadism, and hear from top Islamic scholars and holy men as they share their insights into the work that has shaped the Muslim faith for over 1,400 years.
