"Humanistic Approaches to the Life of the Prophet" Seminar taught by Dr. Khaled Abou El Fadl July, 2000

Seminar Description:

An unprecedented and enlightening, "first-hand meeting" with the Prophet. Based on a review of original Arabic texts, this seminar beautifully:

1) Gives a view as to the moral lessons from the Prophet's life as a model for humanity;

2) Brings to life his moral example;

2) Provides a portrait of the living tradition of the Prophet's character: how he looked, smiled, laughed, talked, and got angry;

3) Presents the opportunity to learn to identify at a personal level with the identity of the Prophet as a symbol of someone real.

The seminar is neither a review of the institutional history of the Prophet's life, nor a chronology of events of his life.
