  • Here in this first video of our series on Islam we frame the big picture of the world's second largest religion. What do the words "Islam" and "Muslim" mean? What is Islam's relationship with Judaism and Christianity? Who is Allah? What is the Qur'an? Who was Muhammad, and how did his leadership, courage, and vision help shape this complex, diverse, and multifaceted world religion?

      Yeah, it's amazing. If I had more time...when Sara banishes Hagar and Ismael, the Qur'an picks up the story and tells how they established the Ka'ba on the site of an ancient meteor strike. That site has been a holy temple for many centuries before the coming of Islam.

      They are on a playlist called "A Course on World Religions." There are other playlists too, like "A Course on World Mythology," and "The Hero's Journey." I was reluctant to number them because I'm leaving the door open to make more videos and insert them into the sequence. But you're right -- if I numbered them it would be more user-friendly. Thanks!

      Hello and thanks for watching and thanks for your question. If I understand you correctly, I think that it isn't hard to find voices within every religion that say bold things like "our religion is the best religion." That kind of exuberance is understandable as some individuals within a particular faith have truly life-changing experiences and feel great growth and joy. They simply wish everyone could experience what they've experienced. And they probably have next to no knowledge or lived experience of what people experience in religious traditions other than their own, so they say things like that. I don't pay too much attention to it. To me, it's just like fans cheering for their team at a football game. There's no harm in it.
