The
Prophet (SAW) was the last messenger of God who came as
a model and teacher to all of humankind. However, many Muslims
forget that He (SAW) was also a man who lived in a particular
place and time, and was part of a particular culture and
spoke a particular language. This Seerah course invites
students to ponder this relationship between the universal
and the particular. They will see how the Prophet (SAW)
exemplified the universal values of Islam, while always
remaining aware of the particular cultural values of his
seventh century Arab society. Students will learn the story
of the Prophet (SAW), but not simply as a story, rather,
they will continuously be asking themselves, "How does
his example help me to better understand and live Islam
in my own cultural context?"
