A Road to Mecca - The Journey of Muhammad Asad, also known as A Road to Mecca, is a 2008 documentary by Austrian filmmaker Georg Misch. The documentary traces the path of Muslim scholar and political theorist Muhammad Asad, which led to his conversion to Islam.
Synopsis
In the early 1920s Leopold Weiss, a Jew born in Lemberg, traveled to the Middle East. The desert fascinated him, and Islam became his new spiritual home. He left his Jewish roots behind, converted to Islam and changed his name to Muhammad Asad. He became one of the most important Muslims of the 20th century, first as an adviser at the royal court of Saudi Arabia, and later translating the Quran into English. Asad also played an important role in the creation of Pakistan and served as its envoy to the United Nations. The director follows his fading footsteps, leading from the Arabian desert to Ground Zero. He finds a man who was not looking for adventures but rather wanted to act as a mediator between East and West. “A Road To Mecca” takes this opportunity to deal with a heated debate which is currently becoming more and more important.

Du VIII au XV siècle, à l’époque de l’Espagne musulmane, une grande quantité de textes scientifiques furent produits. Quand les musulmans quittèrent l’Espagne ils emportèrent de nombreux manuscrits. Aujourd’hui, nous pouvons les retrouver disséminés dans des bibliothèques de particuliers, au long de la Route des Caravanes, au Maroc, en Mauritanie et au Mali. De Tolède à Tombouctou, ce documentaire suit leurs traces.
