But a large number of historians now doubt that presumption, and question much of what Muslim tradition has to tell us about the birth of Islam.

The programme also talks to the pilgrims as they arrive in Mecca, to help understand the thinking of modern Muslims and their deep connections with this holiest of Muslim shrines.
