Even the most sophisticated New Yorkers know little about Islam. What limited knowledge we do have comes through the media, where facts are often incomplete.
This introductory course will cover the principal beliefs of Islam, the differences between Sunnis and Shiites, the Muslim "Bible" the Qur'an, as well as the idea of jihad.
Class readings will be provided. Ample time will be provided for class discussion and questions.
Hussein Rashid is one of the most sought-after teachers of Islam in the metropolitan area. A native of New York, he earned his undergraduate degree at Columbia University. He is in the final stages of completing his doctorate at Harvard University. In addition to teaching at Quest, he is on the religion faculty of Hofstra University.
