Introduction to Islam

Introduction to Islam

In this session, the instructor gives an introduction to the Islamic faith by explaining the tenets of the religion, a short history of the prophet and literature, the Six Pillars and Five Articles of Faith. The instructor talks about that we too have a battle to fight however our power and weapons are much different. Our power comes from the Holy Spirit, not bombs. Our weapon is not a physical sword but the Sword of the Word of God. We fight for a kingdom, but it is not on the earth. We have a leader we follow, yet not one who kills, but one who died for us, Jesus Christ.

Everything You Need to Know About Radical Islam

Everything You Need to Know About Radical Islam

The word "radical" means "relating to the root of something". So what is a radical muslim? How do they become radical? Why aren’t moderate Muslims confronting radicals? Why are people afraid of Islam? Lingel explores some of the reasons why even Christians fear the Muslim world. The Church must put aside fear and complacency and respond to the challenge of Islam with equal boldness in love and witness. These are some of the issues that are discussed in this session.

Jesus in Islam and Christianity

Jesus in Islam and Christianity

All cults begin by distorting and changing the person of Christ. Basic problem is they are too far removed from the events of Christ’s life. Our Scriptures, our faith in and experiences with Christ are reliable. The best way to defend our faith in Christ is to come to know deeply the Jesus of history.

Insider Movements - Dr. Joshua Lingel

Insider Movements - Dr. Joshua Lingel

Biography of Muhammad Part 1

Biography of Muhammad Part 1

The Islamic religion affects every aspect of an individual's life, including the way Muslims pray, worship, fast, relate to their families, evangelize and fight for their religion. Muslims imitate Muhammad's example, the ultimate and final prophet, through obedience to Allah in their religion. What do Muslims believe about the life of Muhammad? In order to understand, Muhammad's life, we need to go back to the earliest Islamic histories and the beginning in 7th Century Arabia to tell that story of the genesis of Islam.

Biography of Muhammad Part 2

Biography of Muhammad Part 2

This summary continues the chronological study of Muhammad’s life and the battle campaigns of the Islamic State. Many Muslims you speak with may declare that Islam is actually a religion of peace. So, the question is, “Is it?” To get to the heart of whether or not Islam is a religion of peace we have to first make a distinction between the religion of Islam and the Muslim people. Islam is a set of fixed teachings and narratives that originates some 1300 years ago. However, the Muslim people are as different as there are people, or Muslims, in this world. Many are peaceful, some are not, what’s the difference from the Islamic Sources?

Muhammad’s Prophethood, and Moral Character

Muhammad’s Prophethood, and Moral Character

Muslims around the world uphold Muhammad as the perfect example for all mankind. And, they revere him as the greatest prophet to have ever lived. His life is reported the source for all Islamic law and tradition and the utmost example for human flourishing. Islamic literature promulgates the idea that Muhammad was not motivated by glory or monetary gain. He was a humble leader and denied himself earthy pleasures. Such impressively powerful claims merit consideration. For if Islam is true, and Muhammad was indeed the greatest man to ever live, a man whose superior lifestyle is worth imitating, then his character and ministry will hold to such rigorous historical scrutiny.

Historical Critique of the Sources for the Life of Muhammad

Historical Critique of the Sources for the Life of Muhammad

What are the historical sources for the Life of Muhammad as we look to understand his biography? Where did all these stories actually come from? The Qur’an only mentions Muhammad’s name four times. So, how do we know about his life and why did the Islamic tradition develop? In this session, come and learn about the six genres of earliest historical sources of Islam.

Shariah Law and Society

Shariah Law and Society

In this session we cover Shari'a Law in society. What is a Muslim society like? Of all the Islamic issues, there's no single one that commands more instant attention than that of the Shari'a or the Islamic Law. The term is once a rallying point for Muslims who demand its application in the East and to spread as much of it as they can in the West. And yet, it's worth noting that there's some difficulty in defining the term Shari'a, which basically means "The Way" or "The Road". This is the way that Muslims should actually live their lives.

Qur'an Critique Part 1: Revelation and Compilation

Qur'an Critique Part 1: Revelation and Compilation

In this session we begin to talk about what is the Quran: its revelation and compilation. Many Muslims view the Quran as the source of all knowledge. To Muslims ‘knowledge’ is revealed by God. And what is true, and known for certain, is from the Qur’an, an eternal book, on eternal tablets. So, what is the Qur’an? Where did it come from?

Qur'an Critique Part 2: Content, Stories, Prophets, Enemies, Rituals

Qur'an Critique Part 2: Content, Stories, Prophets, Enemies, Rituals

In this session we will outline the content of the Quran. This includes the main characters, the major themes such as: Who is Allah, who are the prophets, what the Qur'an says about Jesus, etc. We will also talk about Muslim beliefs and practices concerning the Qur'an such as rituals and the belief in its miraculous nature.

Qur'an Critique Part 3: Miraculous Nature: Eloquence, Literary Qualities, Arabic, Universal Application

Qur'an Critique Part 3: Miraculous Nature: Eloquence, Literary Qualities, Arabic, Universal Application

Muslims will often tell you that one must read the Qur'an in the original Arabic. Since only 3% of the global population speaking Arabic how can this be a universal revelation? Muslims also say that the Qur'an is the most beautiful of all literary works in history. Is this true? They claim that Arabic is the original and oldest of all global languages, but is this really the case? Hasn't the Arabic language evolved just like all global languages? Are there evidences of foreign Syriac words in the Qur'an? What are the implications of this if true?

Textual Criticism of the Qur'an

Textual Criticism of the Qur'an

Textual criticism is a critique of the manuscript evidence for literary works. So when we look at the manuscript evidence of the Qur'an what do we find? Muslims all over the world believe that not a dot, word, or sura has been changed and all the manuscripts are perfectly identical. Many Muslims also believe the original Manuscripts by Caliph Uthman are displayed throughout the world. But are these claims true? Very few people have actually been able to examine the manuscript evidence but in this session we will dive into the actual evidence and see if Muslim claims are true.

'Isa in Islam or Jesus in Christianity? - Dr. Joshua LIngel

'Isa in Islam or Jesus in Christianity? - Dr. Joshua LIngel

Jesus Christ is the central figure in Christianity and a very importaint figure in Islam as the second most important prophet in the Qur'an. However, the 'Isa of the Quran and the Jesus of the Bible are very differnt characters. This Session begins to compare these two versions of Jesus in search of the real Jesus from history. During this half hour you will walk through the Qur'anic understandings of Jesus and weigh the sources and authenticity of these "revelations".

A Guide to Finishing the Great Commission

A Guide to Finishing the Great Commission

Currently there is only one missionary for every 420,000 Muslims. If the Church is going to finish the great commission among Muslims something has to drastically change. This session lays out a Biblical call for every believer to engage and participate in the great commission. Joshua Lingel finnishes this course by giving some very practical principles and much needed strategies to begin to mobilize churches and missionaries.
