The central idea of the course is:

One God. One fundamental religion. Many prophets. Different Sharia. One continuing message.

We begin by exploring what the word Islam actually means and why Muslims believe submission to God did not begin with Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him.

You will then follow the prophetic story from Prophet Adam, peace and blessings be upon him, through Prophet Noah, Prophet Abraham, Prophet Moses, Prophet Jesus, and finally Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him.

Throughout the course, you will learn the important difference between the fundamental religion of submission to God and Sharia — the detailed practical laws that could differ between prophets and communities.
