DISCUSSION: THE DIVERSITY OF ATTITUDES TOWARDS THE PROPHET
Write your answers to the following questions on the course discussion board:
- You have now read about a significant diversity of approaches to understanding the Prophet Muhammad and his legacy. Please reflect on these differences and consider their significance for the interpretation of the Quran.
- This course is entitled "Islam Through Its Scriptures." In general, we have been considering the Islamic "scripture" to be the Quran. How, then, may the ḥadīth literature be considered Islamic scripture, as well? How may it not be considered scripture, based on what you have read?
