In this concluding episode, Veronica Polo interviews Dr. Farhad Shafti about his ground-breaking work titled “The True Meaning of the Universality of the Qur’an”, an article that dissects the pluralistic vs. exclusivist view in the Islamic tradition. Dr. Shafti deconstructs five assumptions common to Muslims: 1.) That God only guides people through Prophets 2.) That every region of the planet has received a Prophet at some point in history 3.) That the Prophets that bring divine law automatically abrogate previous ones 4.) That Prophets came to guide all of humanity 5.) That there is only one correct understanding of God, the Hereafter, and the Unseen.
A wider and much more encompassing perspective is offered.
