Ustadh Dr. Ali Ataie talks about Muslim Biblical Hermeneutics and Muhammad (PBUH)'s foreshadowing in the Bible.

During the Q&A, Dr. Ataie also spoke about the term "kafir," which refers to a person who rejects or disbelieves in God or the tenets of Islam:    • The Infidel in Islam: "Kafir" Literal...  

Biblical hermeneutics is the study of the principles of interpretation concerning the books of the Bible. It is part of the broader field of hermeneutics, which involves the study of principles of interpretation for all forms of communication, nonverbal and verbal.

Dr. Ali spoke as part of an interfaith panel titled "Children of Abraham" at the Muslim Community Center - East Bay (MCC East Bay) in Pleasanton, California on December 16, 2012.

Ustad Ali Atie's talk was entitled "Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad in Scripture and Prophecy."

Due to technical issues, this open house inter-religious outreach panel is not available in its entirety.

The purpose of this event was to promote interfaith harmony through dialogue and education and celebrate the shared heritage of the three great Abrahamic Religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The exciting and informative talks reveal striking similarities in the scriptures of the three religions and discuss the prophets Moses (A), Jesus (A) and Mohammad (S) in prophesy.
