Video Description (from Youtube)

Abraham is central to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, which is why these traditions are often called the Abrahamic faiths. In this episode of The Quran in Dialogue with Other Faiths, Dr. Shabir Ally

looks at why Abraham is so widely revered and what it really means to be a true follower of Abraham, not just by name or lineage, but through faith and practice. Starting with the Quran, we reflect on the faith of Abraham and how Islam understands itself as a continuity of Abraham’s monotheism. Dr. Shabir then turns to the Bible, highlighting passages in Genesis that describe God’s promise and blessing to Abraham, and teachings in the New Testament where John the Baptist and Jesus challenge people not to rely on ancestry, but to live the way Abraham lived. The episode ends with a practical takeaway: if we claim Abraham, we should adopt his humility and devotion in worship, and use this shared love for Abraham as a bridge for meaningful conversation.

What is Monotheism? Monotheism has been defined as the belief in the existence of only one god. A god that created the world, is all-powerful and intervenes in the world. A broader definition of monotheism is the belief in one god. A distinction may be made between exclusive monotheism, and both inclusive monotheism and pluriform (panentheistic) monotheism which, while recognising various distinct gods, postulate some underlying unity.
Who is Shabir Ally? Shabir Ally is a Canadian Muslim preacher who serves as the president of the Islamic Information & Dawah Centre International in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Ally is known for promoting a contextual interpretation of the Quranic verses, but seeks to find their justification in similar expressions within the Christian Bible. He has debated William Lane Craig, David Wood, Nabeel Qureshi, Michael Licona and John Dominic Crossan. He has also debated apologists James White and Jay Smith.
