About this episode

Prophets serve as intermediaries between the human and divine worlds. For Muslims, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family) represents the last of the monotheistic prophets, including Abraham, Moses and Jesus. In his own lifetime, Prophet Muhammad overcame opposition and brought reforms, establishing a thriving community of believers which would become a major world civilisation. 

On this episode we’re joined by Dr Stephen Burge, a specialist in Qur'anic interpretation. Dr Stephen is also an ordained priest of the Church of England. He talks to us about the challenges and triumphs of prophecy, and examines how prophets have inspired people’s relationship with the Divine, and with one another.
