Surah Al-Ankabut (29:46-47) It is part of our belief to prepare ourselves to partake in discussions of theism with members of other faiths. In this lecture: maintaining a level of readiness for religious interchange; the prophetic model for such preparedness, the training behind the success; the need for an academic response to whatever the challenge of the hour is; an exemplar of verse 46; the acceptance and affirmation of all wahy as a Muslim civilizational value.
