Films for the Humanities and Sciences - The Role of the Prophet Muhammad

The Role of the Prophet Muhammad

Unlike the founders of Christianity and Judaism, much is known about the life of Muhammad, enabling Muslims to closely emulate him. This program featuring Islam scholars Ibrahim Kalin and Amina Wadud and Beeson Divinity School’s Timothy George examines the life of Muhammad in detail. From his birth in 570 to his death in 630, it covers key experiences both before and after his transformation to the prophet of Islam. Highlights include Muhammad’s early career and marriage to Khadija, the revelations that form the Quran, the establishing of Islam, his miraculous journey to heaven via Jerusalem, the first hajj, and his battles against the Meccans.
