Religion Discussion

Consider how Islam is similar to and different from Judaism and Christianity.

Take a moment to refresh your understanding of the Qur’an within the Islamic tradition. Respond to the following questions:

• What is the origin and importance of the Qur’an?
• Discuss the central beliefs of Islam, and provide examples of how they are reflected in the Five Pillars.
• Consider the distinct Muslim groups. How are those groups similar, and how are they different?
• What, if any, threats do Islamic traditions face in a more secular world?
