Islam and its five pillars
Description
A meaningful understanding of Islam begins when its principles are discussed with an open mind. In this program, Amina Wadud, of Virginia Commonwealth University; Ibrahim Kalin, of the College of the Holy Cross; and Timothy George, founding dean of Beeson Divinity School, join together to examine the meaning of Islam-both within a Muslim context and in relation to the Christian and Jewish traditions of Abrahamic monotheism-and to explain Islam's Five Pillars. The purpose of hijab, the distinction between individual and congregational prayer, and mosque design are given special consideration, as are the Virgin Birth, Jesus, and an almighty God.
