Prerequisites Nil
Teaching Organisation Lectures, Videos, Workshops, Seminar Presentations/Discussions.
This unit will explore the issues and the discussion of them which resulted in the formulation and structuring of the Muslim Creed. These issues include: the Divine Unity (Tawhid), the Divine Attributes, and anthropomorphism (tashbih-tajsim) in the Qur’an; prophetology; the resurrection; the relation between reason and revelation; free will and predestination. The context of these discussions will be outlined, as well as the ways in which differences of opinion on these issues led to the evolution of the different schools of thought that are still present today.
