BBC Two - The Life of Muhammad, Holy Wars

Key events in the Prophet's life, including the eight-year war with the Meccan tribes.

Rageh Omaar presents a series charting the life of The Prophet Muhammad. Omaar assesses key events in Muhammad's life including the eight-year war with the Meccan tribes.

In this second episode of The Life of Muhammad, presenter Rageh Omaar continues to chart the story of The Prophet Muhammad. 

Drawing on the expertise and comment from some of the world's leading academics and commentators on Islam, Omaar assesses and shines a light on key events in Muhammad's life including the Night Journey to Jerusalem, his life threatening departure from Mecca, through to the establishment of the Constitution of Medina and the eight year war with the Meccan tribes. 

In line with Islamic tradition the programme does not depict any images of the face of Muhammad, or feature any dramatic re-constructions of Muhammad's life.
