NEW!! Check out REAL TALK WITH MIDO AND BABA! The Shaykh and his teenage son in conversation about faith, Islam and growing up Muslim in America! In this new series as part of The Usuli Institute (www.usuli.org), Dr. Khaled Abou El Fadl answers candid questions from his teenage son, Mido, about faith, Islam and growing up Muslim in America. In this first episode, Mido asks: 1) Why was the Prophet Muhammad decided to be the last Prophet? 2) (9:30) Since we don't believe Jesus is the "Son of God," if Jesus was born a prophet, isn't that unfair because he already had a ticket to Heaven before he was born?; 3) (16:20) Are dates a holy food? What is the significance of dates?; 4) (18:45) There is a debate about the first prophet; was Adam not considered a prophet? Dr. Abou El Fadl talks about Adam and Eve in the Islamic tradition. At 23:35, Dr. Abou El Fadl shares his thoughts on worship, prayer and becoming great friends with God. Originally recorded 25 August, 2019.
