Abdal Hakim Murad looks at Islam
as part of a wider family of faiths and analyzes what it shares
and what it doesn't share with its two great predecessors. This
comparison is made on several fronts namely salvation history,
Islamic law vs. Jewish law, scriptural overlap between the Hebrew
Bible and the Qur'an, the figures of Jesus (P) and the Virgin
Mary (P), and Muslim-Christian interaction throughout history.
This lecture is part of a series which is great for both Muslims
and non-Muslims as Abdal Hakim approahes the subject from a highly
intellectual perspective. (Recorded at the Dar
al Islam Teachers' Institute seminar).
Other topics discussed: God's
covenant, the "chosen" people, prophecy, ancient Christian
anti-semitism, the Kaaba, and circumcision.
