Shabir Ally came all the way from Toronto, Canada to give 3 talks in 2 days in Cambridge. He is a PhD student in Islamic Studies in Toronto University specialise in Quran. All his talks are about Quran and alhamdulillah, due to the good publicity strategy of EIW this year, we manage to fill in the hall with a lot of people, especially the non-Muslims. The debates were hot between them.
::: Afternoon Talk :::
Quran - the Word of God?
Time: 1pm
Venue: LG17, Law Faculty, Sidgwick Site.
1.5 billion people believe that the word of God exists today, in its original state, in the form of the Quran. What enables so many people to consider this book a revelation? Join us in an investigation to see whether the theological, linguistic, scientific and mathematical claims supporting their belief hold the test of time.
::: Evening Talk :::
Jesus in Islam
Time: 7pm
Venue: Physiology LT, Downing Site.
We sent Jesus the son of Mary, confirming the Law that had come beforehim, and We sent him the Gospel wherein is guidance and light..." (Quran,5:46) Jesus, a figure given high status in the Quran, has been an inspiration forMuslims throughout history as a selfless, humble and beautiful personality. Come and find out more on the life and nature of Jesus in Islam.
I didn't have the chance to listen to the first talk because I was in the mosque helping with the Quranic classes every weekend from 9.45am to 1.30pm. However the talks can be download from here. InshaALLAH more to go for tomorrow.
Wassalam.
