This course provides an introduction to Islam as a way of life, and its institutions and culture. Beginning with the socio-economic background of pre-Islamic Arabia, we will explore the radically transforming message of the Quran and the personality of Muhammad as spiritual and political leader. Students will gain insight into the spread of Islam, as it developed from a regional faith into a force in world civilization, with emphasis on its emerging role in contemporary North American society. Offered annually.
