Video Description (from Youtube)

In this interview I sit down with Dr. Ilkka Lindstedt of the University of Helsinki to discuss his recent work on Arabia at the time of Muhammad. Dr. Lindstedt walks us through the 'on the ground'

reality of Arabia based on the material, historical, and literary evidence. We discuss things like the advent of Christianity in Arabia, the presence of Judaism, the extent to which Arabia was or was not polytheistic, whether or not there were remnants of polytheism in Arabia, and what that means for the early Islamic movement.

Ilkka Lindstedt is Senior Lecturer in Islamic theology at the Faculty of Theology. He holds a PhD and title of docent in Arabic and Islamic Studies at the University of Helsinki. He specializes in early Islam, Arabic historiography, and Arabic epigraphy.
