Are All Religions the Same?

YAQEEN INSTITUTE
About this episode

Is Islam the final form of Allah’s guidance, meant to replace everything before it? Or is Islam, as is understood through the lens of perennialism, merely one valid religion amongst others?

This paper on Islam and the False Promise of Perennialism contextualizes perennialism as a response to the problem of religious diversity and evaluates this response in light of Islam’s own solution.
