Video Description (from Youtube)
Excerpt from a Q&A session: Dr. Khaled Abou El Fadl explains how absolute justice is the guiding principle in God's judgment, and how that helps answer questions on the fate of non-Muslims in the hereafter, perennialism and whether Islam is the only path to God.

Full question text: I was wondering if it would be possible for the professor to give us his thoughts on the debate on perennialism. I know from the professor's material that salvation is a matter between the person and Allah, and that diversity is stated to be part of the divine plan, but I also often read orthodox Muslim positions that lean more on the "exclusivist" side, citing other Qur'anic passages that appear like harsher condemnations of "unbelievers". Are these positions irreconcilable or does the answer lie in an understanding of Islam as a "moral and divinely engaged method" of life, in which belief and unbelief are to be interpreted as "moral categories" rather than simple tribal affiliations?
